00:02:01.760 With Pat and Stu, one more day.

00:02:04.820 Glenn returns Monday.

00:02:07.080 And don't forget, his book is available Tuesday.

00:02:11.780 Dark Future. Really good. Really, really good.

00:02:15.320 That's going to be on sale at Target.

00:02:17.020 At least we visited the site and they've got it listed.

00:02:23.760 Oh, really?

00:02:24.240 That's interesting, isn't it? Because you know they banned Mark Levin's book.

00:02:28.220 At least sometimes they sell them online and not in the stores.

00:02:30.920 Are they going to be doing it?

00:02:31.700 Oh, maybe that's what it is.

00:02:33.080 Maybe. I don't know. We'll see.

00:02:34.080 I don't know. Anyway, we've got a jam-packed show.

00:02:36.980 We'll get to it in 60 seconds.

00:02:38.640 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:02:48.020 888-727-BECK.

00:02:50.880 I have to admit, I'm a little pissed off.

00:02:53.720 Oh, no.

00:02:54.120 This morning, yeah.

00:02:54.740 Just started me on the wrong foot.

00:02:59.080 What happened?

00:02:59.520 Out of bed on the wrong side, maybe.

00:03:00.980 Then I hear that we're only sending another $800 million to Ukraine.

00:03:07.860 That's it?

00:03:08.820 Yeah.

00:03:09.400 Stingy bastards that we are.

00:03:10.120 What are they going to do with that?

00:03:11.360 I don't know.

00:03:13.900 It's not even a billion this time.

00:03:16.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:19.340 Pathetic.

00:03:20.060 What kind of nation can look itself in the mirror and say,

00:03:25.340 yep, $800 million is enough this week?

00:03:28.040 What's that going to cover? Catering?

00:03:29.640 Maybe.

00:03:30.360 Maybe.

00:03:30.860 Maybe not even that.

00:03:31.960 For a week?

00:03:32.480 Like, the good thing, I had that same idea, Pat, when I heard that number.

00:03:39.860 I was like, that's just too low.

00:03:42.100 Way, way, way too low.

00:03:43.140 Why is it at $800 trillion, for example?

00:03:45.200 Thank you.

00:03:45.340 That would be my number.

00:03:46.220 Right?

00:03:46.660 If I didn't get to one quadrillion.

00:03:48.080 But then I saw, at least we're sending cluster munitions, which is, you know, controversial.

00:03:54.360 Controversial.

00:03:54.860 A little bit.

00:03:55.340 Banned in many areas.

00:03:57.480 You know, the type of thing that's a major escalation to a war.

00:04:01.140 And what I want is the White House announcing something like that.

00:04:05.220 I want to make sure everyone knows.

00:04:07.640 I want to make sure Vladimir Putin wakes up in the morning.

00:04:09.880 He's like, oh, what's going on today?

00:04:10.960 Oh.

00:04:11.540 Oh, good.

00:04:12.380 America sent cluster munitions.

00:04:14.900 Yeah.

00:04:15.260 That's great.

00:04:16.400 Good.

00:04:16.600 Now, you might say, well, wait a minute.

00:04:18.620 Of course, he's on the other side of this war.

00:04:21.580 He's not going to be excited about that.

00:04:23.340 And you'd be right about that.

00:04:25.860 What my concern is, and we just talked about this yesterday, is our idiotic president, who

00:04:31.640 at this point, I don't know if it's just that he's dumb or that he is lost or that other

00:04:38.520 people around him are advising him terribly.

00:04:40.640 I don't know what the reasoning is.

00:04:41.900 All of the above, probably, is just recklessly tempting Vladimir Putin with plenty of material

00:04:53.380 for him to justify what could turn into a world war, right?

00:04:58.980 Like, that is what is going on.

00:05:01.120 And Zelensky is definitely trying to drag us into one.

00:05:04.880 And if you oppose that, why do you love Putin so much?

00:05:09.440 Why?

00:05:09.880 I don't, I mean, I don't.

00:05:11.420 If you love him so much, why don't you marry him?

00:05:14.240 You know, it's true.

00:05:16.860 And like, I'm so sick of, I hate the, I was listening to an interview with Zelensky this

00:05:21.420 morning and I'm sick of the attitude of, of how this is expected from us.

00:05:27.960 Like, I want, I mean, this is very selfish probably, but it's like, I want you to say

00:05:32.740 thank you more than any other phrase.

00:05:36.260 Like, that's what I want out of all of this.

00:05:38.720 Yeah.

00:05:38.940 If you're going to talk to us about, don't tell us how many things more that you need.

00:05:42.760 I want you to say, I can't believe what this country has done for us.

00:05:45.960 Like, he does this every time.

00:05:47.440 It's like, well, we still don't have the F-22 fighter jets.

00:05:53.800 You know, a lot of these, these, these mine resistant vehicles have not performed all that

00:05:58.700 well.

00:05:58.880 Oh, we're sorry.

00:06:00.620 Okay.

00:06:01.200 Well, you know what?

00:06:01.840 You can go out there with your, uh, your Toyota Corolla then and see how that goes.

00:06:05.660 Yeah.

00:06:06.440 I, it is really frustrating.

00:06:08.620 I am not, um, it also includes, by the way, you mentioned the, the cluster munitions.

00:06:12.920 It's a huge deal.

00:06:14.160 It's also, uh, dozens of Bradley and striker fighting vehicles.

00:06:18.480 Now Bradley makes tanks.

00:06:20.480 I don't know if it includes, if the fighting vehicles include tanks, but that's one thing

00:06:27.140 we said we wouldn't do is send them tanks and fighter jets.

00:06:32.000 And we're at least sending tanks.

00:06:34.380 I, the fighter jets, that's a little bit up in the air because there are those who claim

00:06:38.660 we have sent them already.

00:06:40.380 And they're at the very least, we've kind of agreed that they're coming.

00:06:42.980 Yeah.

00:06:43.360 Right.

00:06:43.680 And so all this stuff, every one of these is another escalation and another data point

00:06:48.280 for, uh, Putin to justify something terrible.

00:06:51.140 Now look, Putin doesn't need all of our data points to justify something terrible.

00:06:55.900 He tends to do these things on his own anyway, but the more understandable it is for the

00:07:01.020 Russian people, the harder.

00:07:02.300 Justifies it in his mind though.

00:07:03.900 And I think like you're bringing up the Russian people's mind that America is the enemy and

00:07:09.280 they're the ones who are keeping this thing going.

00:07:11.280 Right.

00:07:12.180 I look, I just don't find any confidence that this president can walk this line successfully.

00:07:20.820 And that's, what's really, really terrifying about it.

00:07:24.380 You know, I don't like spending a lot of money.

00:07:27.660 I don't like what's happening over there on either side, but, and it's money we don't

00:07:32.340 have, by the way, we don't have, we don't have any of this.

00:07:36.000 How, how does this happen over and over and over again?

00:07:38.360 And we're, we're printing it.

00:07:39.540 We're hurting our military by sending all of our stuff over there.

00:07:42.980 Yeah.

00:07:43.680 And they're one of the reasons they're talking about these cluster munitions going over,

00:07:46.480 which again is a really big deal.

00:07:48.300 It's not, it's a, it's a huge story.

00:07:50.420 Like the Biden administration itself was saying it wasn't going to do this again.

00:07:53.960 They said the same thing with the tanks.

00:07:55.140 They said the same thing with the fighters.

00:07:56.480 They've said this over and over and over again.

00:07:58.060 We're not doing that.

00:07:58.780 We're not going to do that.

00:07:59.380 That's crazy.

00:07:59.900 And then they do it.

00:08:01.300 And these cluster munitions, which are really controversial and an absolute escalation here

00:08:08.080 are now going over there.

00:08:09.580 And one of the reasons they say this is happening, they're going, we're going to include controversial

00:08:13.520 cluster munitions to Ukraine because they're going through their counter offensive and officials

00:08:18.700 believe providing munitions will give Kiev an edge as its supplies of conventional weapons

00:08:23.860 dwindle.

00:08:25.000 So they're running out of conventional weapons.

00:08:27.220 We're like, oh, I'll just send them these new upgraded, you know, deadly cluster munitions.

00:08:31.780 And well, I'm sure Vladimir Putin will be fine with that.

00:08:35.060 Again, he's crazy.

00:08:36.260 I understand you can't micromanage his feelings.

00:08:38.920 I get that.

00:08:39.880 But the more bites at the apple that this guy has that we are just saying, oh, just control

00:08:47.780 yourself.

00:08:48.260 Just don't do it.

00:08:49.240 Just don't fire the nuclear weapon.

00:08:51.240 Just don't escalate in some major way.

00:08:53.440 Just don't fire at Poland.

00:08:55.160 Just don't do it.

00:08:56.440 I know we're escalating things, but control yourself, Vladdy.

00:09:00.880 Every time that is the calculation being made and it is being made every single day.

00:09:05.940 Every time that happens, it's another bite at the apple.

00:09:09.720 It's another lottery ticket and a lottery that is very a lot easier to win than the

00:09:13.780 one at your local convenience store.

00:09:15.800 And one of these times it's it is really scary that at one of these points he's just going

00:09:21.020 to say, screw it.

00:09:22.440 And then we are in the middle of a world war with a Russian nuclear power that I don't

00:09:29.060 know if you caught the news from this week.

00:09:30.160 We're getting rid of our last bit of chemical weapons, supposedly after a very long disposal

00:09:36.900 chain.

00:09:39.040 No one believes Russia did that.

00:09:41.680 No one believes that Russia would would I mean, it's inside their military documents

00:09:47.940 that when they get into these types of positions and things aren't going well, they go to the

00:09:52.740 nuclear option and that the nuclear option like, well, they're going to have a filibuster

00:09:57.200 in the Senate.

00:09:57.720 No, like the real nuclear option.

00:10:00.180 That's what that means in war.

00:10:01.740 Right.

00:10:02.800 I just don't have any confidence.

00:10:05.140 And they over and over and over again, the Bidens have shown that they can't handle this.

00:10:09.840 So why would we believe that they could do it this time?

00:10:12.300 That's it's still the biggest story out there in so many ways.

00:10:15.320 I think it is.

00:10:15.960 Yeah.

00:10:17.220 They describe a little bit the cluster munitions.

00:10:19.500 If you're not familiar with them, they're designed to take out multiple military targets by scattering

00:10:25.560 large numbers of explosive bomblets over a wide area.

00:10:30.360 This is like in the first Iron Man movie when what's his face is showing them.

00:10:41.160 What's his name in the movie?

00:10:42.400 It's a great scene.

00:10:43.080 Tony Stark.

00:10:43.620 Yeah.

00:10:43.960 Yes.

00:10:44.380 When Tony Stark is showing the military his new play things.

00:10:50.260 One of the things that they fire off is a cluster bomb where it goes in a whole bunch of different

00:10:56.140 directions and blows everything up.

00:10:57.860 Well, that's what we're giving them.

00:10:59.220 These are not precision munitions.

00:11:01.660 You're not.

00:11:01.940 These are not designed to take out one person at, you know, in some precision manner.

00:11:07.020 This is widespread destruction.

00:11:09.700 And look, we should have these weapons.

00:11:12.580 We should have them in our military.

00:11:14.420 We should have them available for us to use when we need them.

00:11:18.460 But yeah, this is a totally different thing.

00:11:21.480 And, you know, it shows again, like if you're using this type of weapon, you're sending a

00:11:28.820 message that you're not trying to hit precision targets, right?

00:11:32.680 Like that is it's a it's a message sender.

00:11:35.060 You want to take out wide swaths of people.

00:11:37.540 That's what you want to do with it.

00:11:39.320 Yes.

00:11:39.940 You know, this is and look, I want to state this again.

00:11:43.520 I do not.

00:11:45.780 I do not say to the Ukrainians they can't be doing this stuff for themselves.

00:11:50.820 They should be able to fight for themselves, for their land.

00:11:53.900 They should be able to.

00:11:55.740 And like that, that's great.

00:11:58.060 The question is, are we supposed to do this for them?

00:12:01.040 Are we supposed to supply all the stuff for them?

00:12:03.640 Are we supposed to be the other side of this war?

00:12:05.940 Because if we say they need it or they lose, we're just saying we're at war, too.

00:12:11.780 We're just saying we are such a vital part of this that we if we do not step in, the Russians

00:12:18.540 will win.

00:12:19.720 Well, when the Russians are trying to win a war, how are they going to see that?

00:12:22.440 They're going to see us as the opposition.

00:12:24.040 And eventually that can spin out of control very, very easily.

00:12:29.340 And I just don't.

00:12:31.760 There is, you know, Ronald Reagan in his prime.

00:12:35.280 Maybe you have confidence in something like this.

00:12:37.980 Maybe you could commit yourself to believe that he would walk the line perfectly and everything

00:12:43.000 would be measured perfectly.

00:12:45.360 We've got a guy who can't get through three sentences who's managing this war.

00:12:48.780 We've got Kamala Harris who can't who can't explain the most basic of concepts.

00:12:54.300 We have Antony Blinken, who doesn't even have the H in his name.

00:12:58.040 It's not even Anthony.

00:12:59.160 It's Antony.

00:13:00.240 What happened to the H?

00:13:01.920 You're trusting a guy with no H in Antony and Antony to micromanage this problem?

00:13:08.560 The H went to hell.

00:13:10.880 That's where it went.

00:13:11.660 That's where it went?

00:13:12.200 Yeah.

00:13:12.460 Okay.

00:13:12.780 Along with the rest of the administration.

00:13:14.640 And us now.

00:13:15.720 They're dragging us into hell with them.

00:13:17.580 So, we've got lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

00:13:21.920 Yeah.

00:13:22.240 And, you know, they're supposedly, the Ukrainians, are losing ground right now.

00:13:28.360 That's what a lot of the reports are stating, that, you know, Russia's making some headway

00:13:34.660 right now.

00:13:35.780 Really?

00:13:36.020 And, yeah.

00:13:36.940 And if they're already out of everything we've already sent them, just...

00:13:42.220 This is why we're probably sending the cluster munitions, right?

00:13:45.660 Yes.

00:13:45.820 This isn't working.

00:13:46.460 I mean, now, Zelensky's take on that was, look, it's going a little slower than we expected.

00:13:53.040 I think his quote was, we'd all love it to go faster.

00:13:56.740 Which, again, that's not the message of a confident, we're rolling over the enemy, you

00:14:02.540 know, type of situation.

00:14:04.480 And I don't expect it to.

00:14:05.840 Like, talking about this, you really dig down in the details.

00:14:09.240 And I don't think most people want to at this point, because it's not fun to think about.

00:14:12.620 But it's really a terrible, you know, terrible situation.

00:14:15.240 But there are so many mines now set up by the Russians for these advances, as the Ukrainians

00:14:21.960 attempt to make them, that you can't get anywhere.

00:14:25.020 Yeah.

00:14:25.200 They get five feet and things are blowing up all over the place, even when they're not

00:14:28.180 fighting because of the mines that are set.

00:14:29.980 But so this is, we're into a point where it looks like we're going to be in a stalemate

00:14:34.580 for a while.

00:14:35.400 Maybe there will be a little progress here and there.

00:14:37.920 But this could go, this could go on for a really long time.

00:14:41.480 And our government is saying, as long as they need the money to keep flowing to them, we'll

00:14:45.240 just keep providing it.

00:14:46.800 Yeah.

00:14:46.920 And if they're alluding to the things not going well now, what's it going to be like

00:14:51.380 six months from now?

00:14:52.640 I mean, they're going to be pushing harder and harder and harder for the fighter jets.

00:14:56.480 There's another story that just broke because of, I guess it's been declassified, this information.

00:15:02.700 But just to show you the kinds of things that they're considering sending to Ukraine, it's

00:15:10.980 unbelievable.

00:15:12.020 And Putin is not going to appreciate it if we start sending them F-22s.

00:15:16.920 Even F-16s.

00:15:18.100 But here's an example of what the F-22 can do.

00:15:22.260 About 10 years ago, an F-22 successfully intercepted and intimidated an Iranian F-4 aircraft after

00:15:32.220 that aircraft threatened a U.S. drone.

00:15:35.880 So what the pilot did was, and here's the kind of technology involved.

00:15:40.360 They're so stealthy, these F-22 stealth fighters, that they didn't even know it was

00:15:46.040 was there.

00:15:46.580 And he flew underneath the Iranian plane and checked out what kind of munitions they

00:15:53.360 had.

00:15:53.840 Oh my gosh.

00:15:54.400 Then he swung over to just the left of the Iranian jet and told him, you should probably

00:16:03.420 go home now.

00:16:04.420 You ought to go home now.

00:16:05.320 Just showing the superior capability of the stuff that we have that's available and will

00:16:11.960 probably be sent.

00:16:13.500 Oh yeah.

00:16:13.860 And when it is, that's going to blow things up.

00:16:17.900 It's going to blow up the situation.

00:16:19.980 He's, Zelensky will at that point have successfully dragged the rest of the world into this war.

00:16:26.240 And can we do something that I thought the government was good at?

00:16:29.200 I mean, the government sucks at pretty much everything, but can we do one thing?

00:16:32.280 Can you at least lie a little bit?

00:16:35.420 Can you not tell us every stupid thing you're sending over there?

00:16:39.780 Yeah.

00:16:40.040 Can we not?

00:16:40.780 I know this sounds like, I'm not, I'm demanding less transparency, kind of.

00:16:47.180 You know, I understand like we have a right to know.

00:16:48.840 When national security is involved.

00:16:50.200 But when there's national security involved, if this is going to happen, and again, I think

00:16:54.280 it's highly questionable, but if it's going to happen, Vladimir Putin shouldn't be reading

00:16:58.700 about it on Twitter.

00:16:59.960 Right.

00:17:00.440 Right?

00:17:00.800 Like, why does he know about all of this stuff every single time?

00:17:05.200 Like, it should be one of those situations like, hey, isn't that an F-22?

00:17:08.520 I don't know where they got it.

00:17:10.160 Maybe they went to the Kia dealership and they had one.

00:17:12.440 I don't know.

00:17:13.060 It wasn't us.

00:17:13.680 You know who has a lot of F-22s because they have just superior quality military hardware.

00:17:22.380 And that's Zimbabwe.

00:17:23.560 Right.

00:17:24.080 Yeah.

00:17:24.280 That's probably where it came from.

00:17:25.800 Probably Zimbabweans.

00:17:26.680 The Zimbabweans are pissed off at the Russians anyway, so they sent them a bunch of fighters.

00:17:30.600 Ask Zimbabwe.

00:17:31.660 That should be our response.

00:17:33.200 It was just hashtag ask Zimbabwe every single time this comes up.

00:17:37.200 It's incredible.

00:17:38.320 Like, what happened to war?

00:17:40.660 What happened to, hey, we're not going to tell our enemy every single thing we're doing.

00:17:45.000 We're turning into the redcoats again.

00:17:47.340 Like, here we come in formation.

00:17:49.280 Bright redcoats.

00:17:50.180 Come shoot at us.

00:17:51.500 Like, we're begging them to start a world war.

00:17:55.360 Had we started this back in World War II, we'd all be speaking German right now.

00:18:00.200 So, it's not smart.

00:18:03.840 Yeah.

00:18:04.060 And I know it goes against everything we talk about, and that's them being truthful and transparent in an administration.

00:18:10.120 But there's times when giving too much information is not appropriate.

00:18:15.020 Yeah.

00:18:15.220 Like, it should be in this.

00:18:16.880 It's dangerous.

00:18:17.540 These things should be in reports.

00:18:19.060 We should know about them, certainly, eventually.

00:18:21.440 But saying in real time, we're about to start sending cluster munitions to the Ukrainians.

00:18:27.620 It's bonkers.

00:18:29.000 And tanks.

00:18:29.400 And Bradley tanks.

00:18:30.240 And we're thinking about sending them our fifth generation fighter jets, too.

00:18:35.520 Don't worry about it, though.

00:18:36.420 Yeah.

00:18:36.560 We haven't yet.

00:18:37.500 What about the plausible deniability of it all?

00:18:39.700 You know, like, this is the type of stuff that you used to need in war, right?

00:18:44.100 Like, there'd be a vehicle there, and they'd be like, we could see it's yours.

00:18:46.700 And we're like, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:48.320 I don't know.

00:18:48.800 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:50.240 And, like, we can still say, you're right.

00:18:51.980 We need to be able to track the money that goes over there, which, of course, we're not doing appropriately.

00:18:55.680 We should know when they're spending money and sending it over there.

00:18:58.880 But we don't need to know every single type of weapon.

00:19:02.740 Even if we give a broad number of we're sending, you know, $800 million in munitions over there, that is probably enough information.

00:19:10.180 We don't need to give every strategical advantage that we might be giving the Ukrainians.

00:19:14.680 And this is, of course, I'm saying this arguing from the administration's perspective, which I know not everybody in the audience agrees with, that, you know, we should be funding Ukraine in the first place.

00:19:26.540 But taking that whole conversation out of it for a second, if we're going to send $800 million, we shouldn't be telling them everything we're sending, everywhere it's going, everywhere it's going to be used, how it's going to be used.

00:19:37.800 And then providing targeting information and admitting, admitting we are giving them live targeting information of Russian troops.

00:19:47.180 Our people are saying, hey, this area, we found these troops here.

00:19:52.540 This is where you target them.

00:19:53.620 We're not, like, giving them stuff and letting them fight.

00:19:56.100 We're running the war in a large sense.

00:19:59.860 And look, we would be pissed about this if another country was doing it to us.

00:20:04.540 Whether we were right or wrong, even if we were wrong to go invade Mexico or something, if Russia was sending all this stuff to Mexico, we'd be pissed.

00:20:12.040 We would.

00:20:12.420 We'd be pissed.

00:20:13.400 Yeah.

00:20:14.740 Yes.

00:20:15.560 And I am not rooting, I am not rooting for Russia to win.

00:20:18.920 I don't, I think what they did was horrible when this started.

00:20:21.640 And they're, they have committed atrocity after atrocity after atrocity.

00:20:25.780 They're not the good guys here.

00:20:27.100 But, like, what are we doing?

00:20:29.340 I care about us most.

00:20:31.580 That's what I care about.

00:20:32.880 What a xenophobic.

00:20:33.800 I know, it's crazy.

00:20:34.980 Wow.

00:20:38.300 The Glenn Back Program.

00:20:45.900 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:20:47.500 He's back on Monday.

00:20:49.300 888-727-BECK.

00:20:51.660 We were just talking about our latest contribution to Ukraine in the form of $800 million in more military equipment.

00:21:02.820 Now, Stu expressed some reservations, especially due to the fact that we've got a commander-in-chief like we do, brain-dead Biden.

00:21:16.620 But I'm here to reassure you the guy's on top of things.

00:21:20.080 Maybe you didn't see him yesterday and how sharp he was.

00:21:24.440 Oh, okay.

00:21:24.860 So this is the problem.

00:21:25.780 Yeah.

00:21:26.200 Sometimes, you know, you lose focus.

00:21:28.180 You get these impressions that people maybe aren't operating at the highest capacity.

00:21:32.440 And you miss the most recent information.

00:21:34.760 Right.

00:21:35.120 You know, how is he doing today?

00:21:36.920 Exactly.

00:21:37.760 And here's some of what he had to say yesterday.

00:21:41.060 Mom and dad are here.

00:21:42.000 By the way, if you have seats, sit down.

00:21:44.860 I'm sorry.

00:21:46.840 I once said, everybody take a seat in the Renault seats.

00:21:49.680 I said, Biden's so stupid, he didn't know there were no seats.

00:21:54.540 That's pretty good.

00:21:55.480 Is that good?

00:21:56.100 Pretty good.

00:21:56.820 At least he didn't talk to Chuck.

00:21:59.660 Yeah, right.

00:22:00.560 Right.

00:22:00.900 Which he has done in the past.

00:22:02.440 Chuck Graham, state senator, is here.

00:22:04.300 Chuck, stand up.

00:22:05.560 Chuck, let him see you.

00:22:07.120 Oh, God love you.

00:22:08.540 What am I talking about?

00:22:10.440 You never know what you're talking about.

00:22:13.400 So even back then.

00:22:14.480 Yeah, he couldn't stand.

00:22:15.480 That was the, this particular gentleman was unable.

00:22:18.420 He was in a wheelchair, could not stand up.

00:22:20.220 So stand up Chuck was not particularly good advice to this individual.

00:22:24.240 So he's done that before, too.

00:22:26.720 And then he had a little trouble with the podium yesterday.

00:22:29.820 But, I mean, that could happen to anybody.

00:22:31.540 Right.

00:22:32.000 Thank you, Nicky.

00:22:32.740 Then, if you wonder what I'm kicking here, I'm kicking a stand in.

00:22:36.200 What?

00:22:36.500 But it's not working.

00:22:39.740 How about that?

00:22:41.680 All right.

00:22:43.020 Maybe I stand on, give my, I'll be 6'4".

00:22:45.780 These are all intentional ones, too.

00:22:49.500 Yeah.

00:22:49.680 It's important to know, he's just blundering his way through this.

00:22:52.640 But this is not, like, him messing up.

00:22:54.160 This is him trying to relate to people and, like, be funny.

00:22:57.720 And see, that's the thing.

00:22:58.800 He thinks he's so brilliantly funny and charming, witty.

00:23:04.040 And he's none of those things.

00:23:05.280 And so every time he goes down these roads, it ends up hitting a brick wall.

00:23:10.380 And he just crashes.

00:23:11.700 It's really bad.

00:23:12.940 Really bad.

00:23:14.020 But then he went back to an old standard that he, I mean, he talks about this all the time.

00:23:19.420 If I said to you six years ago, we're worried about a supply chain, you'd look at me like, huh?

00:23:23.940 Well, I would have looked at you the same way.

00:23:26.220 Okay.

00:23:26.880 The supply chain thing.

00:23:27.960 Have you noticed that he does this a lot?

00:23:30.540 That he talks about how nobody, we're too stupid to understand what a supply chain is.

00:23:36.500 Because apparently he didn't know, up until six years ago, what a supply chain was?

00:23:41.000 Really?

00:23:41.380 You don't?

00:23:42.140 I've never heard him say that before.

00:23:43.260 Oh, yeah.

00:23:43.980 He's done it multiple times, especially lately.

00:23:46.920 Really?

00:23:47.300 Where he complains that, I know this is a complicated idea.

00:23:51.660 But there's something called a supply chain.

00:23:56.920 Yeah.

00:23:57.740 Yeah.

00:23:58.260 We all knew that in fourth grade, I think, we were taught about the supply chain.

00:24:03.640 To be fair, he has governed as if he was unaware of it.

00:24:06.840 Yes, he has.

00:24:08.000 So it's possible he's telling the truth here.

00:24:10.540 We should be fair to Joe Biden when we can.

00:24:13.920 It's hard, though.

00:24:15.720 It's kind of hard, because not only is there the commander-in-chief who's so sharp and so good and so relatable, but he's got a vice president who is on fire as well.

00:24:30.940 Kamala Harris is, I mean, the way she explains things, really powerful.

00:24:36.020 Really, really powerful.

00:24:37.620 Like, I know you've never heard of this, but she explains this frog in the water thing.

00:24:42.440 Oh, that was brilliant.

00:24:44.420 Here's what she said, just so you know.

00:24:46.420 And I would also ask this of all the friends in the sisterhood here.

00:24:51.860 You know that thing about the frogs in the pots?

00:24:55.520 Uh-oh.

00:24:56.220 What?

00:24:56.440 Okay, so here it goes.

00:24:57.400 Okay.

00:24:57.820 Okay.

00:24:58.240 There's two pots of water.

00:24:58.700 Because nobody's heard this before.

00:24:59.860 And there's two frogs.

00:25:00.980 Okay.

00:25:01.460 There's two frogs.

00:25:02.740 In one pot of water, you put the frog in, and you slowly turn up the heat.

00:25:06.360 Okay.

00:25:07.020 And that frog's kind of like, oh, it's getting kind of warm in here.

00:25:10.040 And then the heat keeps going up to boiling, and that frog perishes.

00:25:14.000 Oh, no.

00:25:14.860 In the other pot, you turn up the heat up on high, get that water boiling, you put the frog in it, he's going to jump out.

00:25:23.020 Let's not be that first frog.

00:25:24.780 Let's not.

00:25:26.380 Let's not be that first frog.

00:25:27.920 Yeah, let's not be that first frog.

00:25:30.200 You want to be, yeah.

00:25:32.580 Okay.

00:25:33.920 As if we've never heard it before, as if she's never told it before.

00:25:38.920 There's another one where they, it's on repeat.

00:25:41.620 I mean, she tells that frog story all the time.

00:25:43.820 And every time she does, she approaches it like nobody has ever heard it before.

00:25:48.420 It's a very common story.

00:25:51.020 Everybody knows that story.

00:25:52.280 And it's also not true, right?

00:25:53.400 Isn't that they've looked at it and the frogs just jump out.

00:25:56.240 They just jump out.

00:25:57.340 They're not that dumb.

00:25:59.020 As soon as it gets too hot for them, then they jump out.

00:26:01.960 Right.

00:26:02.320 The frogs are smarter than the vice president.

00:26:06.520 That's the lesson of the actual story.

00:26:09.220 She's having these veep thoughts all the time.

00:26:11.300 She had another one yesterday where she was trying, I don't know if we had that.

00:26:13.160 The culture?

00:26:13.760 Yeah, the culture.

00:26:14.440 Explaining that?

00:26:15.040 Yeah.

00:26:15.200 Oh, jeez.

00:26:15.720 Here it is.

00:26:17.100 Cut seven.

00:26:17.600 Well, I think culture is, it is a reflection of our moment and our time, right?

00:26:25.980 And present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment.

00:26:32.600 Okay.

00:26:33.080 And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment.

00:26:38.160 That is a reflection of joy.

00:26:40.380 Reflection of joy.

00:26:41.540 It comes in the morning.

00:26:45.340 That's really funny.

00:26:46.280 We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life.

00:27:00.200 And I think about it in that way, too.

00:27:01.400 Having language.

00:27:02.300 She thinks about it in terms of having a language.

00:27:05.520 And we do.

00:27:06.240 We do have a language.

00:27:08.440 That is.

00:27:10.680 It's hard to express.

00:27:11.780 Now, first of all, I should point out, I didn't realize that was at the Essence Festival.

00:27:14.640 I did hear that from my luxury box.

00:27:18.280 Just sadly, you missed quite a few things because it faces the other direction.

00:27:21.680 It does face the other direction.

00:27:22.660 You told us yesterday.

00:27:23.380 So that, first of all.

00:27:25.240 But secondly, like, that's also, like, it's so hard to focus on this because it's such a dumb,

00:27:32.280 group of words put together that you get lost in the fact that it's a Veep Thought, right?

00:27:37.220 Like, we do these bits called Veep Thoughts on Studios America.

00:27:39.720 Yes.

00:27:39.960 It's available, by the way, at veepthoughts.com.

00:27:42.600 It's funny.

00:27:43.240 The frog in the water thing was, we did that last week.

00:27:46.120 With her?

00:27:46.580 With a totally different clip.

00:27:47.720 Totally different.

00:27:48.300 It wasn't even this clip.

00:27:48.760 Yeah.

00:27:48.960 It was her time, the same story, horribly, just last week.

00:27:53.340 Yes.

00:27:53.840 So veepthoughts.com if you want to check those out.

00:27:56.500 I do.

00:27:57.040 I do want to check those out.

00:27:57.800 You should.

00:27:58.260 I'm going to.

00:27:58.720 I would encourage you to.

00:27:59.540 I'm going to.

00:27:59.940 Maybe not right this second, but I will.

00:28:01.780 Yeah.

00:28:02.120 Subscribe to the YouTube channel while you're there.

00:28:03.460 First chance I get, I'm going.

00:28:04.420 We'd appreciate that.

00:28:05.240 Okay.

00:28:05.680 But like, it's also a really terrible answer as to what culture is.

00:28:10.140 Culture is not how we react to the moment.

00:28:13.660 Well, in terms of the moment, yeah, it's how you react.

00:28:17.860 No, it's not.

00:28:18.520 In terms of like language.

00:28:20.600 It's like.

00:28:21.080 But what about the language?

00:28:22.260 But it's like exactly the opposite of that, right?

00:28:25.420 Like culture is not something that is your immediate reaction to what's happening at a moment.

00:28:29.960 That's not what culture is.

00:28:32.280 That's very true.

00:28:33.500 Right?

00:28:33.940 Like culture is something that's developed over a long period of time.

00:28:37.120 That's like a fundamental like ingredient to the recipe of your nation.

00:28:42.400 Right?

00:28:42.860 It's not.

00:28:44.100 Hey, the Titanic sub went down.

00:28:47.280 How are we reacting to it?

00:28:48.740 That's not culture.

00:28:50.560 That's not what that is.

00:28:51.880 She doesn't even know what these words mean.

00:28:54.640 And I think at times we lose sight of this because we just wait in it on a day to day basis.

00:29:02.520 Think about the collection of dolts you are faced with in the news every day.

00:29:07.720 These are the dumbest people that any of us deal with on a regular basis.

00:29:12.780 And they're all on television.

00:29:14.320 They're all on television running the country.

00:29:16.420 Yeah.

00:29:16.600 And I mean, Corinne Jean.

00:29:17.920 I've never met a person in my life that's dumber than Corinne Jean-Pierre.

00:29:21.380 There's never in my life.

00:29:22.740 How many people have you interacted with in situations that they've achieved nothing in their lives?

00:29:30.580 Maybe they've had a horrible drug addiction.

00:29:33.200 Maybe they dropped out of school in the second grade.

00:29:37.160 You go, you meet them in some environment and in the workplace, in the economy.

00:29:41.440 They're all smarter than Corinne Jean-Pierre.

00:29:44.060 They're all smarter than Kamala Harris.

00:29:46.020 Everyone I've ever met in my entire life is smarter than the people I see on television every day.

00:29:50.260 How is that possible?

00:29:51.000 How do we pick all of the worst ones in a row?

00:29:53.360 I don't know.

00:29:53.980 How does this happen?

00:29:54.960 I don't know.

00:29:56.700 But seriously, Kamala is trying to fool us as if she is really smart and she knows all of these things and she explains and expresses them in a way in which the dummies like us can understand it.

00:30:11.900 Yes.

00:30:12.300 You know, because we've got all the intelligence of a bathroom bowl brush and she knows that.

00:30:18.580 So she's got to put it in terms of language and what's happening in the moment.

00:30:25.920 Our reaction.

00:30:27.020 Terms of language?

00:30:28.680 Yeah.

00:30:29.620 Yeah.

00:30:32.080 I don't know.

00:30:33.120 It's frustrating, isn't it?

00:30:34.960 These are the people that got the most votes in human history.

00:30:38.520 81 million.

00:30:40.840 And man, they beat us over the head with that still.

00:30:43.800 And then you look at them in action and it's like, oh my gosh.

00:30:47.240 I mean, China must be.

00:30:49.660 Xi Jinping must be celebrating these people every single day.

00:30:53.580 The opportunities we've provided to the rest of the world and the terrible people who run some of those countries.

00:30:59.280 It's remarkable.

00:31:00.140 It is.

00:31:01.580 We achieved so much and put ourselves in such a good position over the past, you know, 50 to 100 years.

00:31:10.800 I mean, 200 years, really.

00:31:12.660 And we're coming up on, you know, 250 years of this.

00:31:18.080 And we put ourselves in such a good position and we continue to squander it.

00:31:22.820 It really is incredible to see it happen.

00:31:25.120 You have to be trying to squander it to the extent.

00:31:27.840 And, you know, I ask the question on my show a lot, Packer Unleashed, by the way, which you can do.

00:31:32.220 Oh, I love that show.

00:31:32.780 7 to 9 Eastern every morning, 6 to 8 Central Time.

00:31:38.060 Or anytime you want on podcast.

00:31:39.960 Anywhere you get them.

00:31:40.620 Subscribe.

00:31:41.580 But as I've said multiple times, and now I've forgot one night what I said.

00:31:47.840 I went off on such a side road there that it's clouded my mind.

00:31:53.800 Mm-hmm.

00:31:54.580 Yeah.

00:31:54.960 So, they're not brilliant.

00:31:58.380 They're not good leaders.

00:32:00.400 And it's embarrassing.

00:32:03.020 It's just embarrassing.

00:32:04.700 Does China have these?

00:32:06.440 Do they have these issues where they're finding cocaine in the Chinese leader's palace?

00:32:12.300 They're finding viruses that get released to the population.

00:32:15.140 I mean, look, I'm not going to sit here and say that the other nations around the earth have good leadership either.

00:32:23.240 They're terrible, too.

00:32:24.880 But, like, only when we have people like we have in charge here could, you know, could we have situations where other nations and dictators can make gains against us?

00:32:36.540 We really shouldn't.

00:32:37.680 This should be an easy time in some ways.

00:32:40.760 It really should.

00:32:41.480 We really should.

00:32:42.140 We got through the Cold War.

00:32:44.940 You know, we've gone through a lot of these big challenges.

00:32:48.020 This shouldn't be so hard.

00:32:50.700 And, look, the only reason why you have people like this running so much of our government is because the opposition parties sucked a lot, too.

00:32:59.560 And they haven't been able to convince, take those gains and convince people they should be locked in for a long period of time.

00:33:05.220 That's been a problem as well.

00:33:06.980 Yeah.

00:33:07.420 This is the question I ask on my show all the time.

00:33:11.740 If you were trying to destroy the country, what would you do differently than the Biden administration is doing?

00:33:19.020 They're doing it on purpose.

00:33:20.960 They're bringing us down to the level of the third world nations because they can't bring them up to ours.

00:33:26.840 So we have to be knocked down.

00:33:28.780 And that's what they've been doing for all these years.

00:33:31.320 And that's, you know, that's the process that I don't know if it started with Barack Obama, but he really kicked it into high gear.

00:33:37.960 And now Biden's trying to finish that job.

00:33:40.140 It is the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.

00:33:44.620 We're there.

00:33:45.300 888-727-BECK.

00:33:47.980 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up.

00:33:51.400 Join the conversation.

00:33:53.440 888-727-BECK.

00:33:55.980 The Glenn Back Program.

00:34:13.000 Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:34:13.980 He's back on Monday.

00:34:14.740 Did you see that the Eagles have announced?

00:34:18.180 Not the Philadelphia Eagles, sadly, because it would be great if they went on a farewell tour, wouldn't it?

00:34:23.580 It'd be just, we're over.

00:34:25.060 We're done.

00:34:25.580 I hope not.

00:34:25.920 We've had enough, but it's not Philadelphia.

00:34:28.400 It's the Eagles farewell tour for the last time again.

00:34:34.240 I mean, I don't know how many last tours they've done, but it's more than one for sure.

00:34:38.720 It does seem that way.

00:34:39.380 They say that this tour is probably going to last all the way through 2025.

00:34:43.820 So it's a long tour.

00:34:45.460 And they claim that they're just going to book as many dates as the fans warrant, really.

00:34:54.460 So if you sell out one, they're going to do another one.

00:34:57.140 They sell that out, they'll do another one.

00:34:59.360 So it could be a really lengthy tour.

00:35:02.240 But this is your last chance to see them.

00:35:04.240 I'm going to the Eagles somewhere.

00:35:07.360 It won't be your last chance to see them unless they die.

00:35:09.600 But yes, they will eventually keep giving you more dates.

00:35:12.440 Why would you not collect nonstop money?

00:35:15.220 Why would you not?

00:35:15.920 Why would you not?

00:35:17.040 You know, it's funny.

00:35:18.000 Like, I don't know what's going to happen to music going forward.

00:35:20.520 Like they were, you know, they've been looking at like these, the Spotify numbers and, you

00:35:24.880 know, these streaming numbers.

00:35:25.840 And what they're finding is people are, the percentage of music played that is old is

00:35:30.980 higher and higher and higher and higher all the time.

00:35:34.820 And what qualifies as old?

00:35:36.800 Like 2015 or are we going back to the 70s?

00:35:40.400 A lot of it's like 70s, 80s, 90s.

00:35:42.400 Like people are just going back to stuff they're familiar with.

00:35:44.440 And the new stuff doesn't catch on because there's no longer that, that thing that brings

00:35:50.260 us all together where we all listen to the same song.

00:35:52.060 I mean, again, there's like three and then there's three or four artists that completely

00:35:56.420 obliterate everyone else.

00:35:58.840 You know, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Adele.

00:36:03.540 There's like a few of them that just completely rule the landscape to the point of, of shocking

00:36:09.860 ability.

00:36:10.480 And the smaller, there's no mid level left in music.

00:36:15.420 There's a lot of, there's tons and tons of small people and you can get super niche

00:36:19.060 and you can find an audience there.

00:36:21.540 But like that mid level person, it doesn't exist as much anymore.

00:36:26.360 And where are the, where are the people touring later on?

00:36:29.540 Like you're going to have those big artists doing it, but like it, it's hard to know whether

00:36:33.480 that's going to hold together.

00:36:34.420 The rest, where's the rest of them?

00:36:35.680 I mean, they'll figure it out.

00:36:36.520 People like music, so it's something will happen, but it is an interesting thing to watch

00:36:39.540 develop.

00:36:40.060 Yeah, it is.

00:36:40.600 Cause it's completely different with, you know, people don't buy albums anymore.

00:36:43.880 You just put together all the songs you like on Spotify and you're done.

00:36:46.920 You don't have to buy a thing.

00:36:48.160 You don't have to buy a thing.

00:36:56.400 You don't have to buy a thing.

00:37:09.620 We've got no room to compromise

00:37:14.620 We gotta stand together, it's gonna survive

00:37:20.620 Stand up straight and hold the line

00:37:25.620 It's a new day, our time to rise

00:37:32.620 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment

00:37:37.620 This is the Glenn Back Program

00:37:42.620 With Pat and Stu for Glenn, he's back on Monday

00:37:46.620 We have more butt-stupidity to share with you coming up here

00:37:52.620 Wow, is there some amazing stuff going on

00:37:55.620 On the CBS Morning Show

00:37:57.620 And then what was the second one?

00:38:00.620 Oh yeah, oh jeez

00:38:02.620 And then Joy Reid from MSNBC will share that with you

00:38:07.620 And much, much more coming up in 60 seconds

00:38:17.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Back Program

00:38:19.620 888-727-BECK

00:38:24.620 Wow

00:38:26.620 The CBS Morning Show featured a representative from a company called August

00:38:31.620 That sells feminine hygiene products

00:38:35.620 And we've gone so far downhill

00:38:39.620 We're just being flushed down the drain here

00:38:41.620 This is impossible to believe

00:38:46.620 Until you see it

00:38:48.620 I mean, if somebody just told me

00:38:50.620 Well, you know what the representative of that company

00:38:52.620 That sells feminine hygiene products said?

00:38:55.620 That, you know, they want their brand to be more inclusive to all genders

00:39:00.620 Oh, wait

00:39:02.620 Why?

00:39:04.620 Why?

00:39:06.620 I mean, I know you want to sell more crap

00:39:08.620 Right, but I don't think men want

00:39:10.620 Yeah, let's take a look at this and see if you agree with her

00:39:14.620 August, to me, is the result of spending years in the space

00:39:18.620 Identifying pain points, whether they be around sustainability

00:39:22.620 Like, I grew up painting pads

00:39:24.620 Most pads have enough plastic for like three to five plastic bags, right?

00:39:27.620 So very scratchy, very comfortable

00:39:29.620 But also wanting a period-positive, gender-inclusive brand

00:39:31.620 Period-positive

00:39:33.620 So we are August, wanting a gender-inclusive name

00:39:36.620 On the back it says we're here for everyone who menstruates

00:39:38.620 And I think especially in this age of transphobia

00:39:40.620 It really means a lot to us to be proudly a gender-inclusive brand

00:39:43.620 But everything about the product we try to be super thoughtful about

00:39:47.620 From how we design it to be as comfortable, as absorbent as possible

00:39:51.620 But also as sustainable as possible

00:39:53.620 Is that as big a bunch of BS as you've ever heard from anybody on national television?

00:40:02.620 It's so bizarre

00:40:05.620 It is

00:40:07.620 You're left with it

00:40:08.620 I don't even know how to respond to that now

00:40:11.620 You want period-positive, gender-inclusive, feminine hygiene

00:40:18.620 You can't even call it that anymore

00:40:20.620 Because it's masculine as well as feminine, apparently

00:40:22.620 Men, I guess, now have reason to buy pads

00:40:29.620 It's hard, I think at times you have to just boil this down to the basic math and plumbing

00:40:33.620 Where it's like, what they're saying is

00:40:36.620 A woman, who is saying they are a man

00:40:41.620 Still has their period

00:40:43.620 Because they are still a woman

00:40:45.620 Okay, yes

00:40:46.620 But we're going to deny that they're still a woman

00:40:49.620 And we're going to say that they are a man just because of their words

00:40:52.620 They've decided they're a man, so they're a man

00:40:54.620 And so this man can have periods

00:40:57.620 Right, and so we're including the people who are women

00:41:00.620 But say they're men, and they can also buy our product

00:41:02.620 Okay

00:41:04.620 Whatever

00:41:05.620 Someone can buy your product

00:41:06.620 But

00:41:08.620 Not that many people

00:41:09.620 Like, there's one side of the aisle

00:41:12.620 Assuming women are on one side of the aisle

00:41:15.620 And men are on the other

00:41:17.620 There is one side of the aisle

00:41:19.620 That actually does need the period-positive product

00:41:23.620 Or at least a period product

00:41:25.620 Or the PPPs, as they've come to be known

00:41:27.620 Yeah, that's the category, of course

00:41:29.620 But like, one thing that doesn't cause the problems that you're worried about

00:41:34.620 Is transphobia

00:41:35.620 No one is scared

00:41:37.620 I'm terrified of transgendered people

00:41:39.620 Therefore, I will not recognize their

00:41:43.620 Decided change of their gender based on their thoughts

00:41:47.620 Like, that is not transphobia

00:41:49.620 No, it isn't

00:41:50.620 And I'm not scared of transgendered people

00:41:52.620 What they're suffering from is fact phobia

00:41:55.620 Yeah, they're really afraid of the truth

00:41:57.620 Truth phobia, fact phobia

00:41:59.620 Just admit it

00:42:01.620 If you're a man, you don't need effeminate hygiene

00:42:04.620 Right

00:42:05.620 You don't need it

00:42:06.620 Because you're never going to be period-positive

00:42:10.620 So, you can be as gender-inclusive as you want

00:42:13.620 It still doesn't do anything for men

00:42:16.620 Wow

00:42:18.620 Part of this, I think, the reason why this connects with some people

00:42:21.620 There are some, like, just ideologues on the left

00:42:23.620 That are just going to say whatever

00:42:24.620 I think for an average person

00:42:25.620 Who, you know, is trying to be inclusive and nice and understanding

00:42:33.620 Is basically what they're internally doing

00:42:36.620 And you do this all the time, I suppose, in other circumstances

00:42:38.620 But this is what's happening

00:42:40.620 A person comes in and they say, I know what they're saying is a lie

00:42:45.620 I know they're not really a man

00:42:48.620 However, I'm so nice

00:42:51.620 I'm going to ignore the truth to make them feel good

00:42:55.620 That is essentially what goes on with a lot of people in the middle here

00:42:57.620 Yeah

00:42:58.620 They say, like, look, I don't care if this person says they're a man or a woman

00:43:04.620 I want them to feel good

00:43:05.620 I don't want to get into an argument

00:43:06.620 I don't want to fight about it

00:43:07.620 I don't want to have a weird conversation about their genitals

00:43:10.620 So, what I'm going to do is just go along with it

00:43:13.620 And actually, it is, in some ways, a real sacrifice for a person

00:43:22.620 They are sacrificing their own ownership of the truth

00:43:24.620 They know what they're doing is a lie

00:43:28.620 They're not consciously, maybe, knowing this

00:43:31.620 But, like, in reality, what they're doing is, like, I know X is true

00:43:34.620 But because I like you so much, because I'm such a good person

00:43:38.620 Because I'm so nice, I will adopt your lie

00:43:43.620 To show you what a good person I am

00:43:45.620 That is, I think, what a lot of people in the middle do

00:43:48.620 And I, in a normal conversation, I even can find some space there, right?

00:43:53.620 Like, I don't want to

00:43:55.620 And I'm not looking to get in arguments with everybody I come up with

00:43:59.620 Whatever choices they're making

00:44:01.620 Or whatever weird thing they got going on in their lives

00:44:03.620 Like, hey, man, you know, we've all got our stuff, right?

00:44:07.620 Like, I don't want to do that

00:44:09.620 But when it comes to a societal policy, truth standpoint

00:44:14.620 If you don't stand up for what is accurate

00:44:17.620 You lose the basis of a civilization pattern

00:44:20.620 And that's what's happening, right?

00:44:21.620 That's what's happening

00:44:23.620 If you can't agree on basic truths, there is no civilization

00:44:27.620 That is what brings us together

00:44:29.620 You come up with those things that you can agree on

00:44:31.620 That you can, we can say, okay, this is all true

00:44:34.620 How do we deal with the stuff that there's argument on?

00:44:37.620 Well, when you create arguments with the most basic facts

00:44:40.620 You have no foundation anymore

00:44:43.620 And of course, this is exactly what the leftist activists want

00:44:46.620 And if you're so sensitive that you're offended by truth

00:44:49.620 And the truth is, men don't have periods

00:44:52.620 That's the truth, it just is a fact

00:44:55.620 It's a biological fact

00:44:57.620 If you're that offended by it, then I'm sorry, I can't help you

00:45:01.620 I mean, yes, people are just going to have to be offended sometimes

00:45:05.620 But why would it offend you?

00:45:07.620 When it is a fact, it is the truth

00:45:10.620 And your situation is different

00:45:12.620 But you don't want to be called a woman

00:45:15.620 Because you've made the transition to being a man

00:45:17.620 But I'm sorry, that doesn't change the facts

00:45:20.620 Yeah, I remember us doing a show years ago together

00:45:23.620 Called Pat and Stu, by the way

00:45:25.620 Wonderful show

00:45:27.620 And we were taught, we were, we

00:45:29.620 It was at the beginning of all this stuff really starting to come out

00:45:31.620 And the T was starting to rise above the LG and the B

00:45:35.620 Yeah

00:45:36.620 And we were listening to one of the most famous L's

00:45:40.620 In the country, Ellen DeGeneres

00:45:42.620 And she was still doing her show

00:45:44.620 And someone, they were having this conversation

00:45:45.620 And we played the clip back

00:45:47.620 And I never forget this

00:45:49.620 Because it really set something for me

00:45:51.620 As you look at this debate

00:45:53.620 She said, she said, again, this is not

00:45:56.620 I'm not accepting this exactly

00:45:57.620 But like, it's interesting to hear from their perspective

00:45:59.620 How they think about this

00:46:02.620 And she said, your sex is your sex

00:46:05.620 Like, that is like, man, woman, male, female, right?

00:46:08.620 Yeah

00:46:09.620 Your gender is how you feel about it inside

00:46:12.620 No, it's not

00:46:14.620 And like, I don't

00:46:16.620 Forget that it's wrong for a second, right?

00:46:17.620 Forget that for one second

00:46:19.620 Because we should come back to that

00:46:20.620 It is important that it's wrong

00:46:22.620 But also, it's just not important

00:46:24.620 It is not important to me

00:46:27.620 Talking in a societal perspective

00:46:30.620 Whether you feel like you're something else or not

00:46:33.620 That is not something that is important to measure

00:46:36.620 It might be important for your family members

00:46:38.620 It might be important for your friend

00:46:40.620 It might be important for your spouse

00:46:41.620 It might be important for your coworkers

00:46:43.620 They might care about how you feel about crap

00:46:46.620 But I don't care how you feel about crap

00:46:47.620 That's not my job

00:46:49.620 My job at designing policy

00:46:51.620 Is not to

00:46:52.620 Well, these people feel this way

00:46:54.620 Who cares?

00:46:55.620 What are they?

00:46:57.620 What are their actual features as human beings?

00:47:00.620 Not their feelings

00:47:02.620 You don't base policy on feelings

00:47:05.620 It might be interesting to your therapist

00:47:09.620 How you feel

00:47:11.620 But it's not interesting to me

00:47:12.620 We base policy on factual measures

00:47:16.620 Of what humans are doing

00:47:18.620 How much is being earned

00:47:20.620 You know, you can base things on

00:47:22.620 And the left loves to do this

00:47:24.620 Basing things on race and gender

00:47:26.620 And all these other things

00:47:28.620 But feelings are a totally separate thing

00:47:31.620 It doesn't matter

00:47:33.620 It doesn't change the facts

00:47:35.620 Just like if I believe that water isn't wet

00:47:39.620 I believe it's dry

00:47:40.620 It's dry

00:47:41.620 Yeah

00:47:42.620 I identify with water as being a dry substance

00:47:45.620 And so

00:47:47.620 Is society in order not to offend me

00:47:50.620 Going to accept the fact that water is dry?

00:47:54.620 Right

00:47:55.620 No

00:47:56.620 No, we would say it's not dry

00:47:57.620 It's not dry

00:47:59.620 Now, it might be interesting to your

00:48:02.620 Your friends and family

00:48:04.620 Gosh, did you know Pat thinks water is dry?

00:48:07.620 Like what do we do with that?

00:48:08.620 Like we

00:48:09.620 What if we splash some water on him?

00:48:10.620 Yeah

00:48:11.620 Will he still believe that?

00:48:12.620 Right, does he need therapy?

00:48:13.620 Does

00:48:14.620 Do we

00:48:15.620 Should we just

00:48:16.620 And look

00:48:17.620 Here's a great

00:48:18.620 Sad example of this

00:48:19.620 Alzheimer's

00:48:20.620 Yeah

00:48:21.620 You get to a point where you're just

00:48:22.620 You know, you go in and you talk to your

00:48:24.620 Grandfather who's got Alzheimer's

00:48:26.620 Your father who's got Alzheimer's

00:48:27.620 And you just

00:48:28.620 You know what?

00:48:29.620 You let them adopt a reality that isn't reality

00:48:31.620 And you sympathize with them

00:48:33.620 And you feel terrible for it

00:48:34.620 And you go in there and you go

00:48:36.620 Yeah, yeah, I know

00:48:37.620 Yeah, I guess mom who passed away 20 years ago

00:48:40.620 She might be in next week

00:48:41.620 I'm not sure when she's coming by

00:48:42.620 And you let them live in that reality

00:48:44.620 And it's a sad part of life

00:48:46.620 But it is a sad part of life

00:48:49.620 It is sad that you have to do that

00:48:51.620 You're crushed by it

00:48:53.620 Your soul is crushed by that moment

00:48:56.620 And there's an obvious ailment there

00:48:58.620 Yeah

00:48:59.620 And it's so true

00:49:01.620 We were talking about this

00:49:02.620 I think on News and White Matters

00:49:03.620 Pat, last week

00:49:04.620 That the actress Megan Fox

00:49:06.620 Now she apparently has

00:49:08.620 Like a 94 trans children

00:49:11.620 I didn't even

00:49:12.620 I wasn't even aware of that

00:49:13.620 I didn't know that either

00:49:14.620 I thought you pointed that out

00:49:15.620 No

00:49:16.620 So don't quote me on that

00:49:17.620 I thought that was your point

00:49:18.620 Were you seeing someone else

00:49:19.620 On News and White Matters?

00:49:20.620 No, we were talking

00:49:21.620 I wasn't on last week

00:49:22.620 Oh no, you know what?

00:49:23.620 So you were seeing somebody else

00:49:24.620 I'm sorry

00:49:25.620 Oh my gosh

00:49:26.620 I'm sorry

00:49:27.620 Wow, this is awkward now

00:49:28.620 I'm so sorry

00:49:29.620 This is awkward

00:49:30.620 So Megan Fox

00:49:31.620 No, you know what?

00:49:32.620 It was Jason Buttrell

00:49:33.620 I apologize

00:49:34.620 Jason Buttrell was on with us

00:49:35.620 And Sarah Gonzalez

00:49:36.620 They were telling me that

00:49:37.620 I guess she has trans children

00:49:38.620 She's very active in this community

00:49:39.620 But the reason I brought her up

00:49:40.620 Was different

00:49:41.620 Which was

00:49:42.620 She

00:49:43.620 If you know who Megan Fox is

00:49:44.620 The thing you probably know about her

00:49:46.620 Is she's an incredible actress

00:49:48.620 But secondly

00:49:49.620 You might know her for

00:49:51.620 She acts?

00:49:52.620 I didn't realize that

00:49:53.620 Weird

00:49:54.620 The second thing you might know her for

00:49:55.620 Is her appearance

00:49:56.620 She happens to be

00:49:57.620 Yes, you might notice that

00:49:58.620 Quite attractive

00:49:59.620 To many

00:50:00.620 I've heard that

00:50:01.620 Somewhere between many to all males

00:50:03.620 Find her incredibly attractive

00:50:05.620 And what's I guess

00:50:06.620 Interesting about her

00:50:08.620 Is that she does not see herself that way

00:50:11.620 She

00:50:13.620 Really?

00:50:14.620 This dysmorphia issue

00:50:15.620 Where she feels

00:50:16.620 Oh wow

00:50:17.620 She's like hideously ugly

00:50:19.620 And she can't

00:50:21.620 What?

00:50:22.620 She can't

00:50:23.620 Mentally

00:50:24.620 She just thinks she looks awful all the time

00:50:26.620 She can't mentally

00:50:27.620 It's like you know

00:50:28.620 Someone who's anorexic

00:50:29.620 And thinks they're fat, right?

00:50:30.620 Oh yeah

00:50:31.620 Yeah

00:50:32.620 She's got that type of issue

00:50:33.620 And I don't know all the details about it

00:50:34.620 But I thought it was fascinating

00:50:35.620 It is

00:50:36.620 Everyone on earth looks at her and goes

00:50:37.620 Oh my gosh

00:50:38.620 She's incredibly looking

00:50:39.620 And she can't see it

00:50:40.620 And the answer to that for her

00:50:42.620 Is not to go to her and say

00:50:43.620 You know what?

00:50:44.620 You're right

00:50:45.620 You're ugly

00:50:46.620 Right

00:50:47.620 You know what?

00:50:48.620 You're right

00:50:49.620 Ugliness

00:50:50.620 Yes

00:50:51.620 We need to tell you that you're hideous

00:50:52.620 We need to tell you that you are the most revolted creature on the planet

00:50:56.620 And make you comfortable in the world where that is the truth

00:51:01.620 That is not the way we treat that

00:51:03.620 Nope

00:51:04.620 It is not the way we treat that

00:51:05.620 Whether we go to a young girl and tell her

00:51:07.620 You know what?

00:51:08.620 You're anorexia

00:51:09.620 Actually you are fat

00:51:10.620 You're really fat

00:51:12.620 You need to eat less fatty

00:51:14.620 That is not how we would do that

00:51:16.620 It would be incredibly

00:51:17.620 No it's dangerous

00:51:18.620 Irresponsible and dangerous

00:51:20.620 It would cause people's

00:51:21.620 Their lives

00:51:22.620 And by the way

00:51:23.620 This trans stuff has done that as well

00:51:25.620 We've heard

00:51:26.620 There have been multiple reports of

00:51:28.620 Of women

00:51:30.620 Going into the hospital

00:51:33.620 And having all sorts of internal problems

00:51:36.620 And

00:51:37.620 The problem is they say they're men

00:51:40.620 And the doctors don't know what's wrong with them

00:51:43.620 Because

00:51:44.620 They're like what's going on?

00:51:46.620 There's some crazy ailment

00:51:47.620 We can't detect it

00:51:48.620 Well it's because they're pregnant

00:51:50.620 And they're actually women

00:51:51.620 They're not men

00:51:52.620 Now I don't know if the doctor really couldn't detect this

00:51:56.620 Or because I've found it to be you know when they talk about trans awareness

00:51:59.620 You don't really need too much awareness you can usually tell

00:52:01.620 But other than that we're talking about a person here who I think the doctors know

00:52:07.620 They know this is actually a woman who's pregnant

00:52:10.620 Yeah

00:52:11.620 But they say gosh we can't say that because they're saying they're a man so we can't check for pregnancy

00:52:15.620 We can't check for that

00:52:16.620 And babies have died

00:52:18.620 Yeah because of this

00:52:19.620 Yeah

00:52:20.620 Triple 8 727 back

00:52:21.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn

00:52:35.620 He's back on Monday

00:52:36.620 Joy Reid

00:52:37.620 Brilliant as usual

00:52:38.620 Was this just yesterday I think

00:52:39.620 I think just

00:52:40.620 Yeah

00:52:41.620 Yesterday because she's talking about the 4th of July and the fact that she couldn't leave her home

00:52:46.620 Here's what she had to say

00:52:48.620 Well I have to say I did not go out on July 4th and would not

00:52:51.620 The idea of going to a mass gathering a parade or a big fireworks thing outside seems insane to me to be blunt in America

00:52:59.620 Because America is awash with guns and now people don't just have them

00:53:03.620 They seem to want to shoot people with them and use them for whatever you know

00:53:07.620 For whatever

00:53:08.620 It has changed in this country which has always had a lot of guns in the recent years to make it a shooting gallery

00:53:15.620 Huh

00:53:16.620 What kind of what society is she talking about

00:53:19.620 Where you can't even go outside on the 4th of July because the fireworks are covering up the gunfire

00:53:26.620 Maybe in Chicago that's a concern is that where she lives

00:53:29.620 If you're in a Democrat run city there might be some issues there where you should be cautious at least

00:53:37.620 But that is

00:53:39.620 It's a bizarre

00:53:40.620 Like insanity

00:53:41.620 You want to talk about a moral

00:53:42.620 You know we used to have these moral panics

00:53:44.620 Where like people would

00:53:45.620 And this was something the left used to always say it was the worst thing in the world

00:53:48.620 People would like freak out over

00:53:49.620 You know like satanic lyrics in your records

00:53:53.620 Yeah

00:53:54.620 When you spin them backwards and all this stuff

00:53:55.620 Right

00:53:56.620 Like this is what this is

00:53:59.620 I went to multiple 4th of July festivals

00:54:01.620 No shootings at them

00:54:03.620 In fact every town in America basically had one

00:54:07.620 And there were what two incidents

00:54:09.620 And they were

00:54:10.620 And by the way the one big one was some trans black person who

00:54:14.620 Would be the first person

00:54:16.620 Defended by Joy Reid in any other circumstance

00:54:20.620 But they would just not even acknowledge it this week

00:54:22.620 And they would blame the guns

00:54:24.620 Yeah

00:54:25.620 All of this that goes on is so insane

00:54:27.620 Like the look the odds

00:54:30.620 We have too much violence in this country

00:54:32.620 We do have a problem with some of the stuff

00:54:34.620 It is increasing

00:54:35.620 But the odds of you being involved in something like this are incredibly low

00:54:39.620 The the fact that you would avoid a mass gathering for a reason like this is

00:54:43.620 Is is borderline mental problem

00:54:46.620 Like it's it's someone being scared

00:54:49.620 It's like being scared of letting your kids outside

00:54:51.620 Because they're gonna get abducted

00:54:52.620 In your in your backyard

00:54:54.620 You know it's like it's just

00:54:55.620 It's just a a crazy person's problem

00:54:58.620 It's not that it never happens

00:55:00.620 Of course you have to be aware

00:55:01.620 You know it's it's there are

00:55:03.620 We do have a problem with with violence in this country

00:55:07.620 And you'd like it to be less of course

00:55:09.620 Mm-hmm

00:55:10.620 But like that the country she's describing does not exist

00:55:12.620 A country where you can't go to a festival because

00:55:15.620 Basically, there's a shooting and every one of them is not that's not a reality guys

00:55:19.620 That's not real

00:55:20.620 And you're so afraid that you can't even leave your house on the 4th of July

00:55:23.620 That's your problem

00:55:24.620 Yeah, I mean

00:55:25.620 We said this yesterday

00:55:26.620 Maybe it's just you

00:55:27.620 You know, maybe it's just you joy

00:55:30.620 It is just her

00:55:31.620 It's just her

00:55:32.620 She's just start graving nuts

00:55:34.620 And that's why she says the stupid things she says on her show all the time

00:55:37.620 And even with our increases in violence

00:55:39.620 Wow

00:55:40.620 We're again still lower than we were in the 90s

00:55:42.620 You know, it's not by as much as we used to be

00:55:45.620 Right

00:55:46.620 Before the whole George Floyd riot thing took over

00:55:48.620 Since then we've had a massive uptick

00:55:50.620 And covid

00:55:51.620 I mean I think the covid shutdowns really screwed with our country

00:55:53.620 And and took a lot of people who were fringe

00:55:56.620 On their with their mental status already

00:55:58.620 And turned them into people who acted out violently

00:56:01.620 I think that that's true

00:56:03.620 We we we have a real problem in this country

00:56:06.620 But like

00:56:07.620 Can you get a grip?

00:56:08.620 Is there is it possible to just get a grip of yourselves

00:56:11.620 And keep keep things in perspective?

00:56:14.620 This is still by far the best country in the world to live in

00:56:17.620 Oh, it's not even close

00:56:18.620 By far

00:56:19.620 Not even close

00:56:20.620 888-727-BECK

00:56:22.620 More patents due for Glenn

00:56:23.620 Coming up

00:56:24.620 The Glenn back program

00:56:35.620 Welcome

00:56:36.620 Thanks for being with us

00:56:37.620 Finish off the week

00:56:38.620 Oh geez

00:56:39.620 Here we go again

00:56:40.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn

00:56:41.620 More of this

00:56:42.620 More of what?

00:56:43.620 What are we doing?

00:56:44.620 More of what you're doing

00:56:45.620 What am I doing?

00:56:46.620 I just can't take it anymore

00:56:47.620 Really?

00:56:48.620 I've been sitting here quietly

00:56:49.620 Yeah

00:56:50.620 Trying

00:56:51.620 Just hoping you'd come around

00:56:52.620 To a moment of empathy

00:56:54.620 I'm sorry

00:56:55.620 I disappointed you so

00:56:56.620 And you don't

00:56:57.620 You don't

00:56:58.620 You continue to wreck people's lives

00:57:03.620 With your hardcore right wing extremist beliefs

00:57:07.620 Yeah

00:57:08.620 Okay

00:57:09.620 And they're ruining people's lives day to day

00:57:12.620 My beliefs?

00:57:13.620 Yes

00:57:14.620 Right wing extremist beliefs?

00:57:15.620 Yeah like your

00:57:16.620 Everything like such as

00:57:18.620 Your abortion extremism for example

00:57:21.620 Like where I don't think babies should be murdered

00:57:23.620 Right

00:57:24.620 Exactly

00:57:25.620 Yeah

00:57:26.620 You have this

00:57:27.620 People might not know this

00:57:28.620 But Pat has this policy

00:57:29.620 Where he thinks children should be born

00:57:32.620 I do

00:57:33.620 Admittedly I do

00:57:34.620 And you think

00:57:35.620 You know there's a new story out

00:57:36.620 That 10,000 babies

00:57:38.620 That were born in Texas

00:57:40.620 That otherwise wouldn't have been

00:57:42.620 I think that's a good thing

00:57:43.620 A human tragedy

00:57:45.620 These poor children

00:57:47.620 Who now have to face a life

00:57:49.620 Uh huh

00:57:50.620 Of really

00:57:51.620 Of being alive

00:57:52.620 Of varying quality

00:57:53.620 It really could be anything

00:57:54.620 Yeah

00:57:55.620 But they have to face that now

00:57:56.620 I mean they could grow up and cure cancer

00:57:58.620 It could be

00:57:59.620 Bring us world peace

00:58:00.620 They could be

00:58:01.620 It's possible

00:58:02.620 They could be the next great president

00:58:03.620 They could invent something incredible

00:58:05.620 They also could just be really mediocre

00:58:07.620 Yeah they could

00:58:08.620 They could be the person who works out next to you in the gym

00:58:11.620 It sweats all over the equipment

00:58:12.620 Regardless they

00:58:13.620 You

00:58:14.620 Some people like you

00:58:15.620 Think they should have that opportunity to live

00:58:17.620 Which is

00:58:18.620 You're right

00:58:19.620 I do believe that

00:58:20.620 One of the ways you're ruining our country

00:58:21.620 Just one of them

00:58:22.620 And I want to bring in this

00:58:23.620 Maybe personalize this a little bit Pat

00:58:25.620 If I could tell you

00:58:26.620 Okay

00:58:27.620 The story of a couple in Kentucky

00:58:29.620 Mhm

00:58:31.620 CNN tells us the story

00:58:33.620 The headline

00:58:34.620 They couldn't hold their daughter

00:58:37.620 To say goodbye

00:58:39.620 Oh no

00:58:40.620 Think of this Pat

00:58:42.620 All

00:58:43.620 The sub headline

00:58:44.620 All they wanted to do

00:58:46.620 Was hold their baby

00:58:48.620 But strict Kentucky abortion laws

00:58:52.620 Meant they couldn't

00:58:56.620 Wait

00:58:57.620 How did the abortion law get in the way of them holding their baby?

00:59:01.620 As if you don't know

00:59:02.620 As if you didn't design this law

00:59:05.620 I

00:59:06.620 From beginning to end Pat

00:59:08.620 I'm not sure I've ever even been to Kentucky

00:59:10.620 Let alone

00:59:14.620 So

00:59:15.620 The story here Pat

00:59:16.620 Is

00:59:17.620 Mhm

00:59:18.620 A

00:59:19.620 There was a

00:59:20.620 A couple

00:59:21.620 Had a baby

00:59:22.620 Coming

00:59:23.620 Growing up

00:59:24.620 I think it was 20 weeks

00:59:25.620 I want to say

00:59:26.620 20 weeks

00:59:27.620 Mhm

00:59:28.620 And they wanted an abortion

00:59:29.620 Because of a birth defect

00:59:30.620 This is obviously

00:59:31.620 You know

00:59:32.620 This is where they're gonna try to say

00:59:34.620 Okay well they should have had this abortion

00:59:36.620 All they wanted to do though

00:59:37.620 Is have

00:59:38.620 They wanted to hold the baby

00:59:39.620 That's it

00:59:40.620 Well Kentucky Medicaid

00:59:41.620 Apparently would not pay

00:59:42.620 For a premature delivery

00:59:43.620 To induce death

00:59:45.620 Okay

00:59:46.620 So

00:59:47.620 What they wanted apparently

00:59:48.620 The design of this family

00:59:50.620 Was to have the baby

00:59:52.620 And then let it suffocate

00:59:53.620 In their arms

00:59:54.620 Oh my gosh

00:59:55.620 Okay

00:59:56.620 Slowly suffocate and die

00:59:57.620 In front of them

00:59:58.620 That's what they wanted

00:59:59.620 Wanted

01:00:00.620 The strict Kentucky abortion law

01:00:02.620 Would not allow that

01:00:04.620 To occur

01:00:05.620 Now

01:00:06.620 I don't know

01:00:07.620 It kinda seems

01:00:09.620 Rational

01:00:10.620 Yeah kinda

01:00:11.620 To prevent someone

01:00:12.620 To letting a baby die

01:00:14.620 In your arms

01:00:15.620 After it was just born

01:00:16.620 That to me

01:00:17.620 In fact I was told

01:00:18.620 It was conspiracy theory

01:00:19.620 That that could ever happen

01:00:21.620 But that's what they wanted to happen

01:00:23.620 That's not how it is framed

01:00:24.620 By CNN

01:00:25.620 So the couple

01:00:26.620 Who could not afford

01:00:27.620 Apparently

01:00:28.620 A lot of these abortion costs

01:00:31.620 Was then

01:00:32.620 Had their travel paid for

01:00:35.620 To go to Chicago

01:00:37.620 Where Chicago

01:00:38.620 Where they don't apparently

01:00:40.620 Have these horrible abortion laws

01:00:41.620 Or at least some of them

01:00:43.620 Allowed

01:00:44.620 This

01:00:45.620 In abortion

01:00:46.620 To occur

01:00:47.620 But not the way they wanted

01:00:48.620 Because once again

01:00:49.620 What they wanted was

01:00:50.620 To give birth to the child

01:00:51.620 And watch it suffocate

01:00:52.620 So

01:00:53.620 What they did instead

01:00:54.620 Was cut it up

01:00:55.620 Inside of her

01:00:56.620 Now

01:00:58.620 Apparently

01:00:59.620 Their goal

01:01:00.620 I guess

01:01:01.620 Was to hold

01:01:02.620 The reason they couldn't

01:01:03.620 Hold the baby

01:01:04.620 Was because

01:01:05.620 You know

01:01:06.620 It was in several pieces

01:01:08.620 Okay

01:01:09.620 It went

01:01:10.620 They went through

01:01:11.620 It was a

01:01:12.620 Rememberment abortion

01:01:13.620 So

01:01:14.620 Now

01:01:15.620 Now

01:01:16.620 Pat

01:01:17.620 I guess

01:01:18.620 Wow

01:01:19.620 In theory

01:01:20.620 Even if your baby is in a bunch of pieces

01:01:21.620 You could theoretically hold it

01:01:22.620 They said they couldn't even

01:01:23.620 They never even got to see their baby

01:01:24.620 They don't even know what it looked like

01:01:25.620 And they're giving this sob story

01:01:27.620 Well

01:01:28.620 Of course

01:01:29.620 They may have been able to actually hold

01:01:30.620 The individual pieces of the child

01:01:32.620 Except the abortion clinic in Chicago

01:01:35.620 Would not give them the pieces

01:01:38.620 Because they wanted the pieces

01:01:40.620 Because they wanted to cremate the baby

01:01:42.620 And have some sort of memorial

01:01:44.620 But the abortion clinic in Chicago

01:01:46.620 Who is not held up as the villain in the story at all

01:01:49.620 They're the heroes

01:01:50.620 They wouldn't give the parts to the parents

01:01:53.620 Because why?

01:01:54.620 What did they want to do with them?

01:01:57.620 We don't know for sure

01:01:59.620 They wanted to sell them

01:02:00.620 They wanted to sell them

01:02:02.620 Especially when you're at 20 weeks

01:02:03.620 Right?

01:02:04.620 You're very far along

01:02:05.620 It could be that they wanted to sell them

01:02:07.620 It could be that they wanted to

01:02:08.620 You know

01:02:09.620 There was another

01:02:10.620 Hateful abortion law in Chicago

01:02:12.620 That meant that they had to dispose

01:02:13.620 And couldn't just hand them back to the parents

01:02:15.620 I don't know exactly the reason for that yet

01:02:17.620 We should also point out though

01:02:19.620 The quotes from the mom

01:02:22.620 About the procedure

01:02:24.620 Now remember

01:02:25.620 The bad guys here are the

01:02:26.620 This is the Kentucky abortion law

01:02:28.620 That's the problem of the story

01:02:29.620 The headline is about how bad

01:02:31.620 The Kentucky abortion laws are

01:02:33.620 And how it was

01:02:34.620 Made it impossible for this couple

01:02:35.620 To hold their dying child

01:02:38.620 That's the framing of the story

01:02:40.620 Her quote about the actual procedure

01:02:43.620 Wow

01:02:45.620 She said the procedure was

01:02:47.620 Quote a nightmare

01:02:49.620 And quote the worst pain ever

01:02:52.620 Much more painful than giving birth to her daughters

01:02:55.620 Her daughters

01:02:56.620 Her other children

01:02:57.620 Who they decided to keep alive

01:03:01.620 Yet the villain of this story

01:03:03.620 Is Kentucky

01:03:04.620 For not allowing these parents

01:03:06.620 To be able to watch their kids suffocate in peace

01:03:08.620 I mean

01:03:11.620 It's just

01:03:12.620 How does a society survive this

01:03:15.620 When that's acceptable

01:03:17.620 And the way it's spun

01:03:19.620 Is that anybody who wanted the baby to live

01:03:21.620 Is awful

01:03:23.620 Hideous people

01:03:24.620 You're evil

01:03:26.620 Again

01:03:27.620 You know

01:03:28.620 It's

01:03:29.620 Isaiah 520

01:03:30.620 Where

01:03:31.620 Everything good

01:03:32.620 Is made to seem bad

01:03:33.620 And everything bad

01:03:34.620 Is made to seem good

01:03:35.620 Yeah

01:03:36.620 You take the sweet for bitter

01:03:37.620 And bitter for sweet

01:03:38.620 And that's where we are

01:03:41.620 How can you be on the side of the argument

01:03:43.620 Oh no

01:03:44.620 That says

01:03:45.620 Yeah what should happen

01:03:46.620 Is the baby should be born

01:03:47.620 And should just

01:03:48.620 Just slowly suffocate

01:03:49.620 In front of the parents

01:03:50.620 How can that possibly be the right answer

01:03:53.620 I don't know

01:03:54.620 Have any of these people taken five minutes

01:03:55.620 To think about this

01:03:56.620 How can that possibly be the right answer

01:03:58.620 How can the right answer be

01:04:00.620 You let

01:04:01.620 Because they're not

01:04:02.620 Not even discussed in this article

01:04:04.620 Or really

01:04:05.620 Is the idea of letting the kid

01:04:07.620 Try to live

01:04:08.620 Right

01:04:09.620 It's not really even

01:04:10.620 A possibility here

01:04:12.620 It's more of like

01:04:13.620 How do we get rid of it

01:04:15.620 You know

01:04:16.620 And look

01:04:17.620 There are really difficult moments

01:04:18.620 That happen to parents

01:04:19.620 When you're talking about birth defects

01:04:20.620 I'm not

01:04:21.620 This is something that is

01:04:22.620 Torturous for parents

01:04:23.620 To deal with

01:04:24.620 I understand that

01:04:25.620 But like

01:04:26.620 The idea that the

01:04:29.620 The good guys

01:04:30.620 In this story

01:04:31.620 Are a bunch of

01:04:33.620 Chicago

01:04:35.620 Abortionists

01:04:37.620 Who are sitting here

01:04:38.620 Chopping up children for profit

01:04:41.620 How is that possibly the good thing

01:04:44.620 Have you thought

01:04:46.620 It's that meme that

01:04:47.620 That floats around

01:04:48.620 Every once in a while

01:04:49.620 Where the two Nazis

01:04:50.620 Are looking at each other

01:04:51.620 And they say

01:04:52.620 One of them says

01:04:53.620 The skull and crossborns

01:04:54.620 On our uniforms

01:04:55.620 Are we the baddies

01:04:57.620 Like are we

01:04:59.620 Is it possible

01:05:00.620 We're the bad guys

01:05:02.620 Yeah

01:05:03.620 The skull and the crossbones

01:05:04.620 Maybe you should have told you that

01:05:05.620 It's possible

01:05:06.620 But

01:05:07.620 I just can't understand

01:05:08.620 And you see this over and over again

01:05:09.620 They had this

01:05:10.620 The coverage of the Texas situation

01:05:11.620 10,000 babies

01:05:13.620 Looked like they were

01:05:14.620 10,000 above

01:05:15.620 What would have been expected

01:05:16.620 Were born in Texas

01:05:17.620 After the abortion laws went away

01:05:19.620 We were seeing you know

01:05:20.620 Number somewhere

01:05:21.620 In the number

01:05:22.620 Neighborhood of 3%

01:05:23.620 For the first year

01:05:24.620 It's important to note

01:05:25.620 Many of the abortion laws

01:05:26.620 Were not put in place

01:05:27.620 On day one

01:05:28.620 It took months

01:05:29.620 So the number will probably be higher

01:05:30.620 It might be five to ten percent

01:05:31.620 Of abortions

01:05:32.620 That are saved from just

01:05:33.620 Overturning Roe versus Wade

01:05:34.620 And red states

01:05:35.620 Changing their policies

01:05:36.620 And you think about this

01:05:37.620 And like the outcome

01:05:39.620 What is the outcome of this?

01:05:41.620 Tens of thousands of people

01:05:44.620 Who otherwise would not be alive

01:05:47.620 Are instead breathing today

01:05:49.620 What policy can you think of

01:05:52.620 That the government has passed

01:05:53.620 In any recent time

01:05:55.620 That would actually give you

01:05:57.620 That type of result?

01:05:59.620 You might be able to come up

01:06:00.620 With a couple of them

01:06:01.620 You know, there might be one or two

01:06:02.620 Here or there

01:06:03.620 But man

01:06:05.620 Most of the time

01:06:06.620 You look at this as a miracle

01:06:07.620 If you

01:06:08.620 If they had a gun control policy

01:06:10.620 That got passed

01:06:11.620 And saved tens of thousands of lives

01:06:13.620 All they would do

01:06:14.620 Was talk about it

01:06:15.620 Oh yeah

01:06:16.620 If it saves just one life

01:06:19.620 It justifies it

01:06:20.620 Isn't it worth it?

01:06:21.620 Yeah

01:06:22.620 That's what they'd say

01:06:23.620 But saving ten thousand

01:06:24.620 That of course

01:06:25.620 Is a bad thing to them

01:06:27.620 Incredible

01:06:28.620 It's bad

01:06:29.620 It really is a backward society

01:06:30.620 And when you talk about it

01:06:31.620 It is

01:06:32.620 Everything that is liquid

01:06:33.620 Is solid, right?

01:06:34.620 We are there

01:06:35.620 For sure

01:06:36.620 They are telling you

01:06:37.620 All the time

01:06:38.620 That things that you know

01:06:39.620 Are true

01:06:40.620 Are false

01:06:41.620 And if you do not

01:06:42.620 Go along with it

01:06:43.620 And embrace it

01:06:44.620 And believe it

01:06:45.620 And celebrate it

01:06:46.620 You are the enemy

01:06:47.620 Mm-hmm

01:06:48.620 What

01:06:49.620 It's so backward

01:06:52.620 And it's so impossible

01:06:54.620 To exist in a society

01:06:55.620 That allows that

01:06:57.620 And it's even more difficult

01:06:59.620 To survive in one

01:07:00.620 That encourages it

01:07:01.620 That calls it the baseline

01:07:03.620 Of human existence

01:07:05.620 Every day you wake up

01:07:06.620 Wake up

01:07:07.620 And you recognize this truth

01:07:08.620 Or you're out

01:07:11.620 Your job's over

01:07:12.620 You're canceled

01:07:13.620 You're not allowed to talk

01:07:14.620 To people anymore

01:07:15.620 And yes

01:07:17.620 We're still at a place

01:07:18.620 As I just pointed out

01:07:20.620 I think it's a great country

01:07:21.620 And you know

01:07:22.620 I'm still on national radio

01:07:24.620 Saying these things

01:07:25.620 And we are not

01:07:26.620 To North

01:07:27.620 The North Korea point

01:07:28.620 By any means

01:07:29.620 But we are

01:07:30.620 Why walk down the road

01:07:32.620 That leads there?

01:07:33.620 You don't need to go

01:07:34.620 All the way there

01:07:35.620 To recognize

01:07:36.620 That it's a bad thing

01:07:37.620 You got two steps

01:07:38.620 You see the weird

01:07:39.620 Like triangle hotel

01:07:40.620 In the distance

01:07:41.620 In Pyongyang

01:07:42.620 And you turn around

01:07:43.620 That's what you're

01:07:44.620 Supposed to do

01:07:45.620 Mm-hmm

01:07:46.620 And we've decided

01:07:47.620 To do the opposite

01:07:48.620 I don't know how that's

01:07:49.620 Going to work out for us Pat

01:07:50.620 Not well

01:07:51.620 Would be my guess

01:07:52.620 And I know that's going

01:07:53.620 Way out on a limb

01:07:54.620 It is

01:07:55.620 But I'm

01:07:56.620 Comfortable out there

01:07:57.620 888-727-BECK

01:07:59.620 It's Pat and Stu

01:08:00.620 For Glenn today

01:08:01.620 The Glenn Beck Program

01:08:24.620 And welcome Pat and Stu

01:08:26.620 For Glenn

01:08:27.620 He'll be back Monday

01:08:28.620 Start the week

01:08:29.620 Can I give you

01:08:30.620 We talked about Taylor Swift

01:08:32.620 A little bit yesterday

01:08:33.620 Yeah

01:08:34.620 And her

01:08:35.620 There's things

01:08:36.620 People love about Taylor Swift

01:08:37.620 You know

01:08:38.620 Some people hate her

01:08:39.620 Her politics are really annoying

01:08:40.620 The fact that she's

01:08:41.620 A Philadelphia Eagles fan

01:08:42.620 Makes me feel a little bit

01:08:43.620 Better about her

01:08:44.620 You can be a little torn

01:08:45.620 On a person

01:08:46.620 But one of the things

01:08:47.620 That's interesting

01:08:48.620 About this is

01:08:49.620 This her relationship

01:08:50.620 To the FTX story

01:08:52.620 Remember Sam Bankman freed

01:08:53.620 The crypto exchange

01:08:54.620 It blows up

01:08:55.620 And if you remember

01:08:57.620 Not this past Super Bowl

01:08:58.620 Which was

01:08:59.620 Had a tragic ending to it

01:09:01.620 But the previous one

01:09:03.620 There were all the crypto ads

01:09:05.620 It was that year

01:09:06.620 Where like every

01:09:07.620 Every ad was a crypto ad

01:09:08.620 And you know

01:09:09.620 Larry David was doing spots

01:09:10.620 And Giselle

01:09:11.620 And LeBron James

01:09:12.620 And somehow LeBron James

01:09:14.620 Always gets left out of it

01:09:15.620 When they run through

01:09:16.620 These people's names

01:09:17.620 But all these people

01:09:18.620 Took tons and tons of money

01:09:19.620 To tell you

01:09:20.620 You should go to

01:09:21.620 Various crypto exchanges

01:09:23.620 One of which being FTX

01:09:25.620 And FTX is one of the biggest advertisers

01:09:28.620 So the FTX thing blows up

01:09:31.620 And as it blows up

01:09:32.620 One of the side stories

01:09:34.620 That comes out of this

01:09:35.620 Is there was basically

01:09:37.620 A bunch of celebrities

01:09:39.620 Taking money

01:09:40.620 To dupe their followers

01:09:41.620 But there was one exception

01:09:43.620 One shining light

01:09:45.620 Came out of this

01:09:46.620 One person

01:09:47.620 Had the bravery

01:09:48.620 The chutzpah

01:09:49.620 To care for their own fans

01:09:50.620 To come out

01:09:51.620 LeBron James?

01:09:52.620 No

01:09:53.620 Is that where this is going?

01:09:54.620 He took every dime

01:09:55.620 And gets no blame

01:09:56.620 No, Taylor Swift

01:09:57.620 She apparently

01:09:59.620 Has such high financial acumen

01:10:02.620 That she came in

01:10:03.620 And I wish I could have the quote

01:10:05.620 In front of me

01:10:06.620 But like supposedly

01:10:07.620 She came into the FTX people

01:10:08.620 They wanted to pay her

01:10:09.620 A hundred million dollars

01:10:10.620 To be an FTX spokesperson

01:10:11.620 And she said

01:10:12.620 I will not do this

01:10:14.620 Unless you can prove to me

01:10:15.620 That these are not

01:10:16.620 Unregulated securities

01:10:17.620 It's like that's the quote

01:10:19.620 She supposedly said

01:10:20.620 In a meeting

01:10:21.620 No

01:10:22.620 They said that to me

01:10:23.620 At a meeting

01:10:24.620 This did not occur

01:10:25.620 There's no way Taylor Swift

01:10:26.620 Came in and said

01:10:27.620 By the way

01:10:28.620 I want you to prove to me

01:10:29.620 These are not unregulated securities

01:10:30.620 And Sam Bankman Free

01:10:32.620 Was like what?

01:10:33.620 I can't do that

01:10:34.620 And she said

01:10:35.620 I'm not taking your nine figures

01:10:36.620 That's like how it was presented

01:10:37.620 In the media

01:10:38.620 And I guess her dad

01:10:39.620 Worked at Merrill Lynch

01:10:41.620 And had some financial background

01:10:42.620 And there was some conversation

01:10:43.620 That maybe she knew

01:10:44.620 More about this than people

01:10:45.620 And she's just a good person

01:10:46.620 Would not just take this money

01:10:48.620 Well a new update

01:10:49.620 Has come out of the story

01:10:50.620 Months later

01:10:51.620 After she got this incredible praise

01:10:52.620 For the stance that she took

01:10:54.620 That at no point seemed real to me

01:10:57.620 Like I just

01:10:58.620 No offense to

01:10:59.620 I mean I look at her political analysis

01:11:01.620 And there's no way

01:11:02.620 She walked into a meeting

01:11:03.620 And said I want you to tell me

01:11:04.620 About unregulated securities

01:11:05.620 Especially because the government

01:11:06.620 Can't even tell these companies

01:11:07.620 If they're unregulated securities

01:11:09.620 Or not

01:11:10.620 Like that hasn't even been decided

01:11:11.620 By the government yet

01:11:12.620 So anyway long story short

01:11:14.620 New report comes out

01:11:15.620 In the New York Times

01:11:16.620 That apparently what actually happened

01:11:18.620 After more than six months

01:11:19.620 Of negotiations

01:11:20.620 Swift's team

01:11:22.620 Signed a sponsorship deal

01:11:24.620 With the now bankrupt

01:11:25.620 Exchange company

01:11:26.620 FTX

01:11:27.620 Worth north of 100 million dollars

01:11:30.620 But right before FTX signed

01:11:32.620 Sam Bankman Freed

01:11:34.620 Pulled out

01:11:36.620 She had agreed to it

01:11:38.620 And it was Sam Bankman Freed

01:11:41.620 Who didn't sign the deal

01:11:43.620 Wow

01:11:44.620 So after months of praise

01:11:45.620 She got for this

01:11:46.620 Where everyone was like

01:11:47.620 Oh the one good person out there

01:11:49.620 The one good celebrity

01:11:50.620 Who wouldn't take the money

01:11:51.620 Who cared about

01:11:52.620 About her fans

01:11:53.620 Exactly

01:11:54.620 Yeah

01:11:55.620 Okay

01:11:56.620 No actually she wanted the money

01:11:57.620 Just like everybody else

01:11:58.620 Oh man

01:11:59.620 And probably was a negotiating tactic

01:12:00.620 Right

01:12:01.620 Uh huh

01:12:02.620 Unregulated security

01:12:03.620 Unregulated security

01:12:04.620 Are these unregulated securities

01:12:05.620 Uh and so she didn't get her money

01:12:07.620 Unfortunately

01:12:08.620 But at least she won't be involved

01:12:09.620 In the lawsuits

01:12:10.620 Because it looks like Tom Brady

01:12:11.620 Tom Brady

01:12:12.620 Lost 30 million dollars of stock

01:12:14.620 In the deal

01:12:15.620 Lost all the crypto they gave him

01:12:17.620 And now is getting sued

01:12:18.620 By tons of people

01:12:19.620 Yeah

01:12:20.620 Larry David's getting sued

01:12:21.620 These guys are all getting sued

01:12:22.620 And it's like

01:12:23.620 It's a dumb thing

01:12:24.620 Like do you really think

01:12:25.620 Larry David knew about crypto

01:12:26.620 When he was doing the commercial

01:12:27.620 He was making funny commercials

01:12:28.620 Right

01:12:29.620 It's not it's not his fault

01:12:30.620 That Sam Bankman Freed

01:12:31.620 Is a criminal

01:12:32.620 But they're still getting sued anyway

01:12:34.620 Incredible

01:12:35.620 Alright

01:12:36.620 888-727-BECK

01:12:38.620 Heading into the final hour

01:12:39.620 Coming up

01:12:42.620 This is

01:12:43.620 The Glenn Back Program

01:13:01.620 What you are about to hear

01:13:13.620 Is the fusion of entertainment

01:13:14.620 And we all know

01:13:16.620 Stand up straight and hold the line

01:13:19.260 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise

01:13:25.200 What you are about to hear

01:13:29.600 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:13:33.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:39.160 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:13:40.660 He'll be back on Monday.

01:13:41.800 We're going to take a peek into the primary situation

01:13:44.300 and get the latest on all of that.

01:13:46.440 For the GOP and for the Democrats.

01:13:48.420 Coming up in just one minute.

01:13:58.980 888-727-BECK

01:14:01.740 So the field of potential presidents

01:14:07.260 has grown quite a bit in the last few months.

01:14:10.940 And some of them are really resonating

01:14:14.380 with the American people.

01:14:15.440 Yeah.

01:14:15.800 Would you say that's a safe thing to say?

01:14:18.280 Oh yeah.

01:14:18.760 Yeah.

01:14:19.140 Oh yeah.

01:14:19.720 Like this Suarez guy

01:14:22.300 whose first name I forgot.

01:14:24.920 Francis?

01:14:25.680 Francis Suarez, maybe?

01:14:27.100 Mayor of Miami?

01:14:27.960 Yes.

01:14:29.540 Powerful.

01:14:30.040 That seemed to be an up-and-coming figure

01:14:31.700 in Republican politics

01:14:33.220 but not necessarily going to be

01:14:34.960 the President of the United States.

01:14:35.880 Probably not his time now.

01:14:37.220 You know, you just see...

01:14:38.740 Tell me if you see this exact same thing.

01:14:40.660 People have noticed good old Mayor Pete

01:14:45.180 and have decided,

01:14:47.100 hey, why can't I be the next Mayor Pete?

01:14:50.040 Absolutely.

01:14:50.520 Right?

01:14:51.020 That's absolutely the thinking.

01:14:52.960 I don't think he believes he's going to win the presidency

01:14:54.780 but like, you know, you go into a race like this...

01:14:56.680 If you were the Mayor of Miami

01:14:58.300 as opposed to South Bend, Indiana,

01:15:01.360 wouldn't you think,

01:15:02.280 yeah, I got a shot?

01:15:03.400 Yeah.

01:15:03.760 First of all, he's running...

01:15:04.540 If Buttigieg can do it,

01:15:05.540 I can certainly do it.

01:15:06.680 One of our major cities.

01:15:07.620 A city that is doing very, very well, by the way.

01:15:09.680 And I think he's been a good Mayor.

01:15:11.000 I don't follow everyday politics of Miami,

01:15:14.520 but I know he's been good on a lot of things

01:15:16.280 and seems to be an up-and-coming figure

01:15:18.500 in Republican politics.

01:15:19.660 This is a great way to get known,

01:15:20.960 maybe advance to a Cabinet position,

01:15:22.840 maybe voting for Governor or Senator.

01:15:25.020 This is a great path, right?

01:15:27.180 Maybe he pops and gets to 12%, 13% in one of these polls

01:15:31.300 like Pete Buttigieg did in some of those.

01:15:34.160 I don't think he was ever a real threat

01:15:35.480 to win the presidency,

01:15:36.360 but became a top contender at one point.

01:15:38.960 And that, you know, again,

01:15:39.860 maybe he could turn that into

01:15:41.380 turning our transportation system

01:15:43.220 into a disaster as well.

01:15:45.140 Maybe that sort of...

01:15:46.480 Wouldn't that be great?

01:15:47.620 Maybe he'll get there someday.

01:15:49.480 So let me run through them.

01:15:51.100 There's 12 Republicans right now.

01:15:53.300 Donald Trump, Nikki Haley,

01:15:54.720 Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson,

01:15:57.160 Larry Elder.

01:15:58.060 You might not...

01:15:58.620 You know Larry, of course,

01:15:59.720 as a conservative commentator.

01:16:01.080 You might not have even known he's in the race,

01:16:02.440 but he is.

01:16:03.200 Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis,

01:16:04.940 Mike Pence, Chris Christie,

01:16:06.540 getting a lot of attention from the mainstream media.

01:16:08.580 Our man, Doug Burgum.

01:16:11.280 With Burgum-mentum.

01:16:12.480 Burgum-mentum is...

01:16:14.200 Burgum-mania is in effect.

01:16:16.760 Francis Suarez and Will Hurd,

01:16:18.640 the congressman as well.

01:16:19.800 Another guy who's, you know,

01:16:21.120 running from the moderate sort of side

01:16:22.500 and trying to get, I think,

01:16:23.360 more attention than anything else.

01:16:25.800 So you got a field of 12 here.

01:16:27.000 And I was thinking about this.

01:16:28.920 And, of course, on the Democratic side,

01:16:30.400 Biden, Williams, and Kennedy.

01:16:32.420 You go through this though.

01:16:34.900 And I had this question.

01:16:35.640 And I was thinking to myself,

01:16:37.200 if there's been a lot of...

01:16:40.160 A lot of failure here so far.

01:16:44.660 Like, I would say you look at these candidates

01:16:46.880 and you would say,

01:16:47.920 some of them are really good candidates,

01:16:49.300 some of them not so good.

01:16:50.440 But, like, just looking at

01:16:52.040 how they would want this to go,

01:16:54.700 you would say almost all of them

01:16:56.720 have underperformed their expectations.

01:17:01.300 Or, you know,

01:17:02.180 maybe they're equal with their expectations.

01:17:03.540 But if I were to ask you, Pat,

01:17:05.320 who are the people in this race

01:17:07.120 who have outperformed expectations,

01:17:09.520 you're not going to go on for a month

01:17:11.760 with candidates.

01:17:12.840 No.

01:17:13.020 Right?

01:17:13.280 Like, I think you might come up with a couple.

01:17:15.720 I could maybe think of one

01:17:16.480 who's maybe outperformed

01:17:18.600 some people's expectations.

01:17:20.780 But Vivek Rameshwamy.

01:17:22.840 You know, I had him on my list.

01:17:24.240 I had three on my list

01:17:25.240 that have outperformed.

01:17:26.620 And he was one of them.

01:17:29.040 Because, again,

01:17:30.480 because expectations were very low

01:17:32.540 and people,

01:17:33.680 we've had Vivek on the show many times.

01:17:35.260 This audience knows Vivek Rameshwamy.

01:17:36.900 I've known him for years.

01:17:38.100 But he was not a major figure

01:17:40.900 being considered to be the Republican nominee.

01:17:45.480 And I wouldn't say he has any chance,

01:17:48.220 honestly, of being a Republican nominee

01:17:49.660 or at least a very high chance

01:17:50.760 of being a Republican nominee.

01:17:51.760 Very much a long shot.

01:17:52.920 I like him, though.

01:17:53.720 I like him.

01:17:54.420 And his poll numbers have been better

01:17:56.300 than you would expect.

01:17:57.360 Like, he's outperforming

01:17:58.320 a lot of these people

01:17:59.020 who have been talked about for years.

01:18:01.060 He's obviously a good communicator.

01:18:02.680 He's got a lot of big ideas.

01:18:04.060 I like him, generally.

01:18:05.180 I think he's, you know,

01:18:06.120 again, it's going to be a tough road

01:18:07.880 coming from where he's coming from.

01:18:10.100 But he's got a lot of big ideas.

01:18:11.460 And he's trying to take these things on.

01:18:14.380 He's eloquent.

01:18:15.060 He's very, yes.

01:18:15.660 He's relatable.

01:18:16.520 He's a good speaker.

01:18:18.460 You know?

01:18:19.020 And so I think he's made,

01:18:21.020 and he's everywhere.

01:18:21.760 I see him on the tube all the time.

01:18:25.100 Yeah.

01:18:25.600 Now, that hasn't turned into

01:18:26.800 massive polling success.

01:18:28.660 No.

01:18:29.000 But he's shown some early state strength.

01:18:31.520 Was it earlier this week

01:18:32.500 or was it last week?

01:18:33.440 I saw a poll where he was at 10%,

01:18:35.180 which had surpassed Mike Pence,

01:18:37.860 which I thought, wow, okay.

01:18:39.220 Yeah.

01:18:39.420 Maybe there's some traction there.

01:18:40.920 And that was one of the early states,

01:18:42.220 wasn't it?

01:18:42.480 I can't remember which state that was.

01:18:44.420 I thought it was one of the early states.

01:18:46.020 Was it Iowa?

01:18:46.960 Maybe.

01:18:47.700 I don't remember.

01:18:48.660 Or New Hampshire, one of those.

01:18:49.720 Yeah, his national polling has been,

01:18:51.560 you know, I think he's more like 5%

01:18:53.720 he's been able to get up to.

01:18:55.180 But again, for a guy who was basically

01:18:57.040 unknown in politics a few months ago,

01:18:59.180 that's pretty good.

01:19:01.180 Yeah.

01:19:01.380 I mean, the fact that he's made,

01:19:02.640 I would say that his first few months,

01:19:05.560 he's got to be happy with it.

01:19:07.260 I would think he's looking back at the same,

01:19:09.100 so far, so good.

01:19:10.920 Yes.

01:19:11.320 You know, he's not leading the pack by any means,

01:19:14.120 but he's there.

01:19:15.180 Yeah.

01:19:15.400 In a place that I think he's positioned himself

01:19:18.040 well enough for what he expected to happen.

01:19:20.400 So, I don't know.

01:19:21.060 I thought he was one that,

01:19:22.120 I thought that would be kind of one

01:19:23.200 that was a little under the radar,

01:19:24.540 but, you know, you called that right away.

01:19:26.580 That's, I think he's overperformed expectations.

01:19:29.200 Another one that might be kind of obvious

01:19:31.340 as overperformed expectations,

01:19:32.680 I think is Donald Trump.

01:19:34.500 Oh, yeah.

01:19:35.300 Now, maybe not his own high expectations,

01:19:37.280 but the fact that he really hasn't been pushed at all

01:19:42.240 in the polls,

01:19:43.800 not at all,

01:19:45.020 is, you gotta give,

01:19:46.700 you gotta give his campaign

01:19:48.620 some level of credit there, right?

01:19:50.200 Like, they,

01:19:50.880 I think he has performed

01:19:52.500 above what you would think he would perform at.

01:19:55.280 Especially with everything he's dealt with.

01:19:57.800 You know?

01:19:58.140 Right.

01:19:58.300 And he's got 11 competitors,

01:20:00.240 and he's still around the 50% mark.

01:20:02.680 Yeah.

01:20:03.080 I mean, you look at these polls,

01:20:04.200 he's up by 34, 38, 29, 24, 45, 21, 36, 30, 30, 38.

01:20:11.620 I mean, these are really good results.

01:20:14.040 And, you know, again,

01:20:15.680 DeSantis being in second place,

01:20:17.360 and at 20%, you know,

01:20:18.980 he's about 21% he's averaging.

01:20:21.120 Trump at an average of 53 right now nationally.

01:20:23.980 Wow.

01:20:24.080 But, like, the fact that he's in the,

01:20:25.180 has the majority of Republican voters

01:20:27.400 and has not had yet

01:20:29.900 a serious push from DeSantis or anyone else

01:20:33.220 is pretty notable.

01:20:35.320 Yeah.

01:20:35.680 You know?

01:20:36.020 I think so, too.

01:20:36.980 That he's 30 points ahead,

01:20:38.420 that's very notable.

01:20:40.140 Now, I will say,

01:20:41.220 it's too early to take from these polls

01:20:43.180 some conclusion.

01:20:45.020 I don't think that any of these people

01:20:46.460 are out of it,

01:20:47.340 and I, you know,

01:20:47.940 well, Asa Hutchinson is out of it,

01:20:49.480 but any,

01:20:49.840 most of these people are not out of it.

01:20:51.900 Doug Burgum may be out of it.

01:20:53.860 Maybe.

01:20:54.420 Burgum meant to might not be able

01:20:55.680 to get us over this mountain.

01:20:57.260 But, like,

01:20:58.760 DeSantis has debates.

01:21:01.160 He's got,

01:21:02.160 we are not even at the point

01:21:03.620 where people are really

01:21:04.460 paying attention to this.

01:21:05.560 You might be paying attention to it

01:21:06.780 because you care about the country

01:21:08.200 in a way that many do not.

01:21:09.900 But, generally speaking,

01:21:12.040 the people that you work with

01:21:13.520 and have a general sense

01:21:15.980 that they like Donald Trump or don't,

01:21:17.900 have maybe a little bit of a sense

01:21:19.460 on DeSantis, maybe.

01:21:21.640 Maybe some Biden.

01:21:23.140 But, honestly,

01:21:23.720 this decision typically right now

01:21:25.340 is being made,

01:21:26.120 do I like Donald Trump or not?

01:21:27.740 That is essentially the one decision

01:21:29.240 that people have made,

01:21:30.200 even more than it is about Joe Biden.

01:21:32.700 It's like,

01:21:33.180 do I like Trump?

01:21:33.920 Do I not like Trump?

01:21:34.720 That will be the referendum

01:21:35.940 if he's the nominee.

01:21:37.380 That is a decision

01:21:38.120 that will be

01:21:38.840 tossed around

01:21:40.420 by the American people

01:21:41.500 and they will vote

01:21:43.080 based on essentially that.

01:21:44.740 It will not be about

01:21:45.580 whether Joe Biden's

01:21:47.080 student loan policy

01:21:48.400 is successful or not.

01:21:49.880 It will be about

01:21:50.860 whether people can

01:21:52.400 think that Donald Trump

01:21:53.800 will do a better job

01:21:54.920 and whether they like him

01:21:56.260 or not, essentially.

01:21:57.540 Now, if it goes to a DeSantis

01:21:58.700 or one of these other candidates,

01:21:59.840 I think you have more of a chance

01:22:01.460 of it being about Biden,

01:22:02.580 which I tend to think

01:22:03.600 is a good thing

01:22:04.400 because then it's not

01:22:06.360 about personalities as much.

01:22:07.860 But we have no idea

01:22:09.600 how DeSantis will perform

01:22:11.820 in this situation

01:22:12.520 if he's the nominee.

01:22:13.260 I will say,

01:22:13.900 I think you could

01:22:14.980 fairly point out

01:22:15.980 that the rollout

01:22:17.460 hasn't been as strong

01:22:18.580 as they maybe have hoped.

01:22:19.760 Yeah.

01:22:20.020 I think he would have liked to,

01:22:21.700 I don't think he thought

01:22:22.280 he'd be winning,

01:22:22.820 but I think,

01:22:24.440 you know,

01:22:24.720 being within 10 points

01:22:25.960 Yeah, closer than 30

01:22:27.280 would be better.

01:22:28.240 It would be better, yeah.

01:22:30.020 Being down 30

01:22:30.780 is suboptimal, Pat.

01:22:31.980 Yes.

01:22:33.380 And they've had,

01:22:34.160 I don't think

01:22:34.720 it necessarily means

01:22:36.820 a hell of a lot yet.

01:22:39.340 I don't want to overstate it.

01:22:40.960 We're just looking,

01:22:42.320 you know,

01:22:42.600 the Major League Baseball

01:22:45.380 is about the halfway point.

01:22:46.760 And you look at that

01:22:47.320 and you say,

01:22:47.620 well, okay,

01:22:48.000 some teams are definitely

01:22:49.100 in the playoff hunt.

01:22:50.500 You know,

01:22:51.240 like the Atlanta Braves

01:22:52.060 are probably going

01:22:52.560 to make the playoffs.

01:22:53.660 Probably.

01:22:53.940 The Tampa Bay Rays

01:22:55.240 are going to make

01:22:55.800 the playoffs probably.

01:22:57.020 You've seen some teams

01:22:57.760 be really, really good.

01:22:58.860 The Oakland A's,

01:22:59.920 probably not so much.

01:23:00.920 You can tell that now.

01:23:02.280 What you can't tell

01:23:03.100 is the fifth wild,

01:23:05.380 you know,

01:23:05.640 the fifth seed

01:23:06.260 going to wind up

01:23:07.080 having a good run

01:23:07.800 and become the one

01:23:08.520 or two seed

01:23:08.900 and be the favorite

01:23:09.420 by the playoffs.

01:23:10.100 We don't know that yet.

01:23:11.060 And I think that's

01:23:11.500 where we are in this.

01:23:13.200 The other person I would say

01:23:14.260 has exceeded expectations

01:23:15.900 would be on the other side

01:23:17.700 and it would be RFK Jr.

01:23:18.760 who, again,

01:23:21.340 yes, he has a big name.

01:23:22.740 Yes, he's been known

01:23:23.500 in liberal politics

01:23:24.580 for a long time,

01:23:25.520 but also is not seen at all

01:23:28.680 as a actual threat

01:23:29.860 to win the presidency.

01:23:31.500 I mean,

01:23:31.660 it was not seen coming in

01:23:32.900 as a real candidate.

01:23:34.160 I think the most surprising

01:23:35.020 thing to me

01:23:35.740 about RFK Jr.

01:23:37.200 is that a lot of people

01:23:40.020 on the conservative side

01:23:42.280 have taken an interest in him.

01:23:44.560 And some have even said,

01:23:45.540 yeah, I like that guy.

01:23:46.360 I might vote for him.

01:23:47.840 Please don't.

01:23:48.380 Please, by all that is holy,

01:23:50.860 by all that is good,

01:23:51.940 right, and holy,

01:23:52.740 don't.

01:23:53.220 Look into his policies

01:23:54.740 and what he envisions

01:23:57.860 for America.

01:23:58.800 Yes, because there are

01:23:59.960 a couple headline ones

01:24:00.800 that conservatives

01:24:02.220 tend to be okay with.

01:24:03.920 The vaccine skepticism

01:24:06.180 is part of it.

01:24:06.940 He's been pretty good

01:24:07.640 on the border lately.

01:24:09.980 Lately.

01:24:10.540 You know,

01:24:11.200 he has some things

01:24:12.200 that you might like.

01:24:13.020 You have to look

01:24:13.500 at his entire platform.

01:24:14.640 Yes, please.

01:24:15.400 And see, you know,

01:24:15.980 for the climate change,

01:24:17.080 for instance,

01:24:18.580 he essentially called

01:24:20.180 everybody who doesn't agree

01:24:21.260 with him on climate change

01:24:22.540 a traitor.

01:24:23.520 Yeah, not essentially.

01:24:25.040 He did call them that.

01:24:25.720 He did do it.

01:24:26.360 And he wished that he had

01:24:28.060 the power to do something

01:24:29.220 about it.

01:24:29.640 Like, put these people in jail.

01:24:31.000 And I think Glenn was

01:24:31.780 one of the people

01:24:32.360 he talked about.

01:24:32.960 The two people he mentioned

01:24:34.500 specifically of being

01:24:35.940 traitors to the country

01:24:37.060 and people who would be

01:24:39.180 up to the penalty.

01:24:40.160 We should treat them

01:24:40.920 like traitors,

01:24:41.840 was his quote.

01:24:42.820 Yeah.

01:24:43.180 Was not only our own Glenn Beck,

01:24:44.780 but also Rush Limbaugh.

01:24:46.360 Oh, man.

01:24:46.620 So I don't know.

01:24:47.120 If you like Rush

01:24:48.020 and you didn't want him dead

01:24:50.960 many years earlier

01:24:52.600 than he unfortunately did pass,

01:24:54.460 you may consider the fact

01:24:56.280 that RFK Jr.

01:24:57.380 may be not the guy

01:24:58.140 you want running the country.

01:24:58.940 Now, I will say,

01:25:00.100 if you're in a state

01:25:01.680 where you want to cause chaos

01:25:03.500 like Rush used to love causing,

01:25:05.460 voting for RFK Jr.

01:25:06.640 in the Democratic primary

01:25:07.560 where you don't care

01:25:08.940 about your primary

01:25:09.540 and it's already decided,

01:25:10.440 it might be a lot of fun.

01:25:11.820 You know, I mean,

01:25:12.220 it is hilarious

01:25:13.300 to see this guy

01:25:14.340 with no real political base

01:25:16.560 and no real operation

01:25:18.940 at 20%.

01:25:20.380 It's incredible, really.

01:25:22.220 And it is exceeding expectations.

01:25:24.200 It has a lot to do

01:25:24.860 with varying factors.

01:25:26.120 Number one,

01:25:26.520 he actually has connected

01:25:27.580 with some old school Democrats.

01:25:29.220 People who are against war,

01:25:30.880 people who are anti-vaccine,

01:25:32.600 which, by the way,

01:25:33.240 we should point out,

01:25:34.360 not a right-wing movement.

01:25:35.900 It has been an across-the-board

01:25:37.720 slew of people

01:25:40.540 for a long time.

01:25:41.480 Like, it's a cross-section.

01:25:42.860 It's not really partisan.

01:25:45.040 The vaccine stuff,

01:25:46.120 and I'm going way before

01:25:47.180 the COVID stuff

01:25:48.420 because in the COVID times,

01:25:49.720 it did turn into

01:25:50.580 a Republican-Democrat thing

01:25:52.540 for a lot of people.

01:25:53.540 But before that,

01:25:54.700 when RFK Jr.

01:25:55.320 was very active

01:25:56.580 in this movement

01:25:57.000 long before

01:25:58.200 any of this COVID stuff

01:25:59.620 came up,

01:26:00.540 he was working with people

01:26:01.920 like Jenny McCarthy

01:26:03.080 and Jim Carrey

01:26:04.820 and all sorts of

01:26:05.960 left-wing celebrities

01:26:07.080 who were on this bandwagon.

01:26:09.080 And like,

01:26:09.640 whatever you,

01:26:10.040 I don't care what you believe

01:26:10.860 about this.

01:26:11.200 Make your own friggin'

01:26:11.920 decisions for your family.

01:26:13.140 But the bottom line is this,

01:26:14.920 there are a lot of people

01:26:15.720 in the Democratic Party

01:26:16.700 who look at

01:26:17.400 what the Fauci-ism

01:26:19.060 turned into

01:26:19.620 and are like,

01:26:20.040 what the hell is this?

01:26:21.600 This is my party,

01:26:22.620 supposedly?

01:26:23.760 Like, I've been sitting here

01:26:25.020 saying this stuff was bad

01:26:26.140 long before COVID

01:26:27.060 and now they're forcing

01:26:28.320 this on me?

01:26:29.600 The same thing with Ukraine.

01:26:30.760 I've been saying

01:26:31.360 I'm a Democrat.

01:26:32.300 I've been saying

01:26:32.760 I'm against war

01:26:33.740 this whole time.

01:26:34.360 Now, all of a sudden,

01:26:35.220 I have to support it

01:26:36.320 or I'm the worst person

01:26:37.780 in the world?

01:26:38.340 What are you talking about?

01:26:39.480 And RFK Jr.

01:26:40.160 has connected

01:26:40.680 with that group

01:26:41.860 of Democrats.

01:26:42.720 And rightly so.

01:26:43.920 Yeah.

01:26:44.820 Especially with Democrats.

01:26:46.220 He should be connecting,

01:26:47.400 I think.

01:26:47.900 He's closer to that

01:26:48.720 traditional Democrat

01:26:49.600 in a lot of ways

01:26:50.540 than what we're seeing now.

01:26:52.320 Especially the old school Democrat.

01:26:54.040 And you know what?

01:26:54.900 But again,

01:26:55.280 these are bad policies,

01:26:56.500 many of them.

01:26:57.400 The union stuff is bad.

01:26:58.780 The climate stuff

01:26:59.440 is really bad.

01:27:00.800 I mean, he is a,

01:27:01.780 he's an insane person

01:27:03.260 on the climate.

01:27:04.060 Abortion.

01:27:04.660 He's really bad on that.

01:27:05.740 Horrible on abortion.

01:27:07.580 Horrible.

01:27:08.380 Affirmative action.

01:27:09.320 That ruling

01:27:09.680 that we all celebrated

01:27:10.480 last week,

01:27:10.940 he was against it.

01:27:12.220 Right.

01:27:12.580 He's not.

01:27:13.220 Look, don't be fooled

01:27:15.140 that he's like some conservative

01:27:17.260 because he's not.

01:27:18.440 You agree with him

01:27:18.600 on a couple of things.

01:27:19.140 He's a hardcore mega liberal

01:27:21.700 that agrees with conservatives

01:27:23.140 on a couple of things right now.

01:27:24.460 Yeah.

01:27:24.640 And that's important to note.

01:27:25.920 But,

01:27:26.600 but for Democrats,

01:27:28.000 yeah,

01:27:28.440 I love it.

01:27:29.680 If they,

01:27:30.420 if they nominated him

01:27:31.540 instead of Biden,

01:27:32.300 and there's good reason

01:27:33.760 to do that.

01:27:35.120 You know,

01:27:35.580 I don't think they will.

01:27:36.980 They won't.

01:27:37.520 And that's the thing

01:27:38.500 because you got the Kennedy name,

01:27:40.120 you got the name recognition,

01:27:41.180 you got the,

01:27:41.960 some that he is connecting,

01:27:43.040 I think at some level,

01:27:43.900 but we shouldn't oversell this too.

01:27:45.520 I think it's now come full circle.

01:27:47.420 At the beginning,

01:27:48.520 it was like,

01:27:49.060 wait a minute,

01:27:49.480 this guy,

01:27:50.080 they gave no chance to

01:27:51.060 and no coverage to

01:27:51.860 is hitting 20%.

01:27:52.740 What's going on?

01:27:54.480 He is now,

01:27:55.200 now he's getting a lot of coverage.

01:27:56.640 I mean,

01:27:56.740 he was,

01:27:57.020 he did the Joe Rogan thing.

01:27:58.220 He's getting all these big podcasts.

01:27:59.400 He is getting a lot of attention.

01:28:01.200 And I don't know if,

01:28:02.480 you know,

01:28:02.700 if people have looked at this

01:28:04.140 super closely,

01:28:05.480 but we all were,

01:28:06.260 people quote all the time

01:28:07.340 that he gets 20% of the polls.

01:28:09.200 That was May 17th.

01:28:11.680 He got 20% of the polls.

01:28:13.220 He has not had 20% of the polls since.

01:28:15.120 Oh,

01:28:15.560 really?

01:28:15.800 Less than that?

01:28:16.740 Coming up on two months.

01:28:18.220 Yeah.

01:28:18.560 And there've been a dozen polls,

01:28:20.460 none of which he has cracked 20%.

01:28:22.440 He's been between eight and 17 in those polls.

01:28:27.060 Joe Biden has led by,

01:28:29.580 you'll hear from some Trump supporters

01:28:31.200 who are like,

01:28:31.640 you know,

01:28:32.160 Trump is blowing DeSantis out

01:28:34.400 and we shouldn't even have a primary,

01:28:36.140 but they'll celebrate RFK.

01:28:37.420 RFK is much farther behind Joe Biden

01:28:40.440 than Ron DeSantis is Donald Trump.

01:28:42.580 He's behind the latest poll.

01:28:43.940 He was down by 58 points.

01:28:46.300 He was down by 59 and another,

01:28:48.440 47 and another,

01:28:49.580 47 and another.

01:28:50.640 So it's a nail biter.

01:28:51.540 Yeah.

01:28:52.120 On the Democrat side.

01:28:53.180 It is something to note,

01:28:54.420 but it isn't,

01:28:55.120 we shouldn't overstate

01:28:56.500 how close he is to winning this nomination.

01:28:58.940 All right.

01:28:59.340 Pat and Stu for Glenn,

01:29:00.960 more coming up.

01:29:07.420 It's going to be interesting to see

01:29:08.800 if any of these Democrats

01:29:10.740 gain any traction from here on

01:29:12.900 because you're talking about

01:29:14.600 people running in their own party

01:29:16.300 against a sitting president,

01:29:17.520 which just usually

01:29:19.200 it's unacceptable to do that.

01:29:21.280 And you won't get any support

01:29:22.980 from the party

01:29:23.780 if you do that.

01:29:25.260 And you might be punished.

01:29:26.460 And they're not.

01:29:27.060 For a few,

01:29:27.460 and they're not.

01:29:28.260 This is why someone serious

01:29:29.420 hasn't jumped in,

01:29:30.180 right?

01:29:30.460 Yeah.

01:29:30.680 You will get that punishment.

01:29:31.600 And,

01:29:32.000 and I,

01:29:33.340 you know,

01:29:33.560 like Gavin Newsom

01:29:34.640 who wants to run so badly.

01:29:36.860 Nobody wants to taste it.

01:29:38.480 Oh man,

01:29:38.920 does he want to run,

01:29:39.900 but he won't

01:29:40.840 because he'll be punished

01:29:41.780 by the Democrat party

01:29:42.740 if he does.

01:29:43.560 And that would hurt him

01:29:44.120 in the future.

01:29:44.860 Yeah.

01:29:44.980 He's thinking ahead

01:29:45.860 and thinking he probably

01:29:46.780 wouldn't win.

01:29:47.820 So he's just hoping

01:29:48.860 against hope.

01:29:49.560 I think that Biden drops out

01:29:51.040 then he'd be in,

01:29:51.880 in a second.

01:29:52.780 What he's done

01:29:53.420 is he put together

01:29:54.100 a relatively serious

01:29:55.280 national operation

01:29:56.360 that is positioned

01:29:57.800 to help

01:29:58.940 the Democratic nominee.

01:30:00.920 Now,

01:30:01.360 if Joe Biden

01:30:02.640 flames out,

01:30:04.120 I don't know,

01:30:04.500 one of these accusations

01:30:05.260 comes true.

01:30:06.840 It's,

01:30:07.360 you know,

01:30:07.520 proven he goes down to,

01:30:09.000 let's say,

01:30:09.340 let's say we,

01:30:10.280 right now,

01:30:10.640 I think Joe Biden,

01:30:11.360 we have some of the worst

01:30:12.400 approval ratings.

01:30:13.460 Only Carter was worse

01:30:14.660 at this point in his presidency.

01:30:17.040 However,

01:30:17.800 they're bad,

01:30:18.540 but not bad,

01:30:19.440 bad.

01:30:19.680 Like they're not,

01:30:20.400 Trump's approval rating

01:30:21.380 was about 42%

01:30:22.620 in going into 2020.

01:30:24.240 There's no question

01:30:25.180 who's going to be the nominee.

01:30:25.700 Biden's is still 40.5.

01:30:26.780 It's 40.5.

01:30:27.480 It's lower,

01:30:28.200 but it's not catastrophically bad.

01:30:30.220 It's not,

01:30:30.600 the end of George W. Bush's

01:30:32.820 second term.

01:30:33.380 It's not like single digits

01:30:34.020 where it should be.

01:30:34.920 Yes.

01:30:35.920 George W. Bush ended

01:30:37.140 in the low 30s,

01:30:38.280 high 20s.

01:30:38.960 And you get into that area

01:30:39.940 and there may very well

01:30:41.820 be someone who needs

01:30:42.820 to quote unquote

01:30:43.460 step in.

01:30:44.380 And Gavin Newsom

01:30:45.480 is building an operation

01:30:46.460 in case that happens.

01:30:48.360 He is ready to go

01:30:50.080 if they need somebody

01:30:51.320 to step in last minute.

01:30:52.380 And he's building this

01:30:53.920 under the auspices

01:30:54.960 of like,

01:30:55.400 well,

01:30:55.560 I want to reform

01:30:57.860 the second amendment.

01:30:58.820 I want to get rid

01:31:00.620 of the second amendment.

01:31:01.340 I want to do all these things.

01:31:02.520 And he's running ads

01:31:03.920 in Florida,

01:31:04.500 but they're sort of like,

01:31:06.860 well,

01:31:07.160 I'm targeting Ron DeSantis

01:31:08.400 and he's the Republican.

01:31:09.860 You know what I mean?

01:31:10.160 Like he's acting

01:31:11.900 as if he doesn't want to run

01:31:13.200 when every one of his

01:31:15.920 pieces of action

01:31:17.160 is telling the opposite story.

01:31:19.220 Right?

01:31:19.800 Like it's obvious

01:31:20.900 he wants this,

01:31:21.760 but he,

01:31:22.980 I think may has made

01:31:24.060 this calculation.

01:31:24.800 Look,

01:31:25.520 if I step into this primary

01:31:27.020 right now,

01:31:27.440 I probably lose

01:31:28.580 and my future is destroyed

01:31:30.260 because the party

01:31:31.500 will make me lose.

01:31:32.580 Number one,

01:31:33.300 they will bend the rules

01:31:34.560 to make sure I lose anyway.

01:31:36.220 And number two,

01:31:37.120 honestly,

01:31:37.440 even if he got into the race,

01:31:38.540 who's to say that he would win?

01:31:39.660 I don't think that he's certainly,

01:31:41.440 I mean,

01:31:41.720 he'd be a worse president,

01:31:42.960 I think,

01:31:43.240 even than Joe Biden,

01:31:44.280 which would be,

01:31:44.800 isn't saying something.

01:31:45.680 Pretty bad.

01:31:46.200 Yeah.

01:31:46.820 It was really saying something.

01:31:48.040 He's a radical.

01:31:49.220 Oh yeah.

01:31:49.660 A big time radical.

01:31:51.080 And so,

01:31:52.240 but it's been nice

01:31:53.160 because you can be

01:31:53.980 as radical as you want

01:31:55.040 in California.

01:31:55.620 They elected you.

01:31:56.620 Go at it.

01:31:57.380 Have at it.

01:31:58.220 But not for the rest of us,

01:32:00.060 please.

01:32:00.480 No.

01:32:01.000 No,

01:32:01.260 thank you.

01:32:02.060 All right.

01:32:02.400 888-727-BECK.

01:32:04.240 Dan Andros is in town.

01:32:05.720 Yeah.

01:32:06.280 He's going to be popping in here

01:32:07.180 in a minute.

01:32:07.420 Our old friend Dan Andros.

01:32:08.560 We'll talk to him.

01:32:09.220 Come on up.

01:32:09.520 The Glenn Back Program.

01:32:25.580 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:32:27.080 He'll be back on Monday.

01:32:28.400 And we,

01:32:29.280 in the meantime,

01:32:30.020 are joined by our old friend Dan Andros,

01:32:32.980 who deserted us years ago.

01:32:35.500 How many years ago was it, Ben?

01:32:37.240 Was it like 14, 15,

01:32:39.000 somewhere in there?

01:32:39.640 Seven glorious years.

01:32:40.840 Yeah.

01:32:41.060 Seven glorious years.

01:32:42.200 Yeah.

01:32:42.920 Yeah.

01:32:43.380 Wow.

01:32:44.560 Blaze alum Dan Andros,

01:32:46.000 now over at faithwire.com,

01:32:47.340 CBN,

01:32:47.820 and host of the Quick Start Podcast,

01:32:49.440 which you can subscribe to

01:32:50.260 wherever you get your podcasts.

01:32:51.940 That's a lot.

01:32:52.640 Why don't you leave a job

01:32:53.440 for somebody else?

01:32:54.300 Right.

01:32:54.720 I mean,

01:32:55.040 that's too many.

01:32:56.560 Too many jobs.

01:32:57.020 Too many jobs.

01:32:57.560 Yeah.

01:32:57.960 I'm questioning my choices now.

01:32:59.740 I just have one job.

01:33:00.860 Are you Ryan Seacrest all of a sudden?

01:33:02.780 Yeah.

01:33:03.240 Leave something for someone else, Dan.

01:33:04.800 I'm just like him,

01:33:05.800 except with a hundred million less dollars.

01:33:08.560 I will say,

01:33:09.380 if you're looking for a new job,

01:33:10.940 if you are maybe thinking

01:33:12.480 you need one more,

01:33:14.020 might I recommend

01:33:15.120 Detective at the White House

01:33:16.580 to find cocaine?

01:33:17.600 Yeah.

01:33:17.920 Because that seems to be

01:33:18.920 a very difficult job.

01:33:19.880 Well, that's the toughest job

01:33:20.520 on the planet.

01:33:21.100 Who did this?

01:33:21.940 Who could know?

01:33:22.520 There's no way to tell.

01:33:23.340 There's no way.

01:33:23.960 It's like the metric system,

01:33:25.100 but there's no way to measure it.

01:33:26.500 I don't know.

01:33:26.980 Is it like the metric system?

01:33:27.680 Yeah, it's a lot like that.

01:33:28.960 There's no way to tell.

01:33:30.160 But guys,

01:33:30.660 you're not understanding here.

01:33:31.660 They just don't have the resources

01:33:33.360 there at the White House

01:33:34.880 where the President of the United States is.

01:33:37.020 I mean,

01:33:37.320 who would have thought

01:33:37.900 to put a camera

01:33:38.580 in all the different buildings

01:33:40.380 there in the White House?

01:33:41.320 Yeah.

01:33:41.720 Well,

01:33:42.020 especially because

01:33:43.840 we know this cocaine

01:33:44.960 was found

01:33:45.740 in the area

01:33:46.820 where there's just tours.

01:33:48.440 This is where people

01:33:49.040 are walking through.

01:33:49.900 The average person

01:33:50.700 can walk through there

01:33:51.360 anytime during the day or night.

01:33:53.280 And well,

01:33:53.820 actually,

01:33:54.360 just a quick update.

01:33:55.500 It's actually

01:33:56.100 in a highly trafficked

01:33:57.540 part of the private residence.

01:33:59.860 West Wing area,

01:34:00.900 actually.

01:34:01.240 The West Wing,

01:34:01.700 highly trafficked.

01:34:02.400 People are going by there

01:34:03.300 all the time.

01:34:04.040 All the time.

01:34:04.500 Tours are going by there.

01:34:05.160 Actually,

01:34:05.560 quick update.

01:34:05.820 People drop stuff off

01:34:06.960 in that cubbyhole.

01:34:07.880 All the time.

01:34:08.560 All the time.

01:34:09.140 But quick update on that,

01:34:10.140 Pat.

01:34:10.280 Sorry.

01:34:10.860 Actually,

01:34:11.300 it was in

01:34:11.660 the West Wing

01:34:13.320 executive entrance

01:34:14.880 and the framing

01:34:16.500 by the news

01:34:16.940 actually near

01:34:18.120 where Kamala Harris

01:34:19.060 parks her car.

01:34:20.360 They're throwing her down.

01:34:23.360 Joe Biden leaked that.

01:34:24.500 Oh, yeah.

01:34:24.740 It was by Kamala's car, guys.

01:34:27.240 But are you amazed, Dan,

01:34:28.400 that like

01:34:28.780 with all this other crimes

01:34:31.280 that we are able to solve,

01:34:32.840 how they cannot figure out

01:34:34.400 where this cocaine

01:34:35.340 came from?

01:34:36.380 Yeah,

01:34:36.520 with all of the technology.

01:34:38.080 I mean,

01:34:38.500 I don't know.

01:34:39.420 You think of the Larry David.

01:34:40.300 What was that?

01:34:40.780 The Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

01:34:42.300 They like ping the guy's cell tower.

01:34:44.040 They find him on tape.

01:34:45.380 A random guy

01:34:46.480 at like a baseball game

01:34:47.760 and they get him off

01:34:48.440 of that crime.

01:34:49.060 Remember that story?

01:34:49.540 Yeah.

01:34:50.120 The Idaho murders, right?

01:34:51.660 Like the college kids.

01:34:53.120 Yeah.

01:34:53.520 This happened in the middle

01:34:54.300 of the night,

01:34:54.820 in the middle of nowhere.

01:34:56.020 No one saw anything.

01:34:57.300 The guy drives across

01:34:58.280 the country

01:34:58.880 into the Poconos

01:34:59.700 where there's just

01:35:00.460 a billion trees

01:35:01.200 and nothing else.

01:35:01.980 A couple cabins.

01:35:03.080 And they track him down

01:35:04.540 in like a week.

01:35:05.400 Yeah.

01:35:06.260 But there's a giant bag

01:35:08.060 that someone dropped.

01:35:08.860 Like, oops!

01:35:09.660 Like my big Ziploc bag

01:35:11.340 of cocaine.

01:35:12.980 Ah, sorry guys.

01:35:13.880 Can't figure that one out.

01:35:14.840 The mystery of the century.

01:35:16.080 If they'd only thought

01:35:17.660 to put a camera

01:35:18.740 somewhere.

01:35:19.240 Somewhere.

01:35:19.840 Just somewhere.

01:35:21.060 Yeah, they should have done that.

01:35:22.280 Yeah.

01:35:22.520 They should have done it.

01:35:23.260 A nest cam?

01:35:24.060 I think you're right though, Pat.

01:35:25.540 I think that this government,

01:35:27.120 this administration

01:35:28.020 is just very cost-conscious

01:35:30.100 and so they're not,

01:35:30.820 it's like these nest cams

01:35:32.340 are expensive now.

01:35:33.460 It costs like 50 bucks

01:35:34.520 to install.

01:35:34.860 And a monthly service

01:35:36.000 you've got to pay too?

01:35:36.900 Who wants that?

01:35:37.660 Yeah.

01:35:37.820 So they're just being cost-conscious

01:35:40.160 but these are the,

01:35:41.120 it's the give and take,

01:35:42.140 you know?

01:35:42.480 Like you leave yourself open

01:35:43.880 to a little risk.

01:35:44.640 It's protecting our tax dollars,

01:35:46.700 the Biden administration

01:35:47.480 hard at work.

01:35:48.640 It is fascinating though,

01:35:49.700 I think this is one of the most

01:35:50.580 defining characteristics

01:35:52.140 of this time,

01:35:53.100 which is people have lost faith

01:35:55.080 that the justice system

01:35:56.880 will go after people equally.

01:35:59.720 Yeah.

01:35:59.920 You see the Hunter Biden thing.

01:36:01.280 I know,

01:36:02.600 I know

01:36:03.820 that if I had a laptop

01:36:05.300 that I left

01:36:06.080 at some place

01:36:06.980 that showed me

01:36:07.680 with like bunches

01:36:08.400 of hookers and cocaine,

01:36:10.660 there's no way

01:36:11.880 I'd be walking free today.

01:36:13.560 No.

01:36:13.680 There's no way

01:36:14.980 despite all the financial crimes

01:36:17.020 and everything else on there,

01:36:18.000 just the basics

01:36:18.880 and no one seems to care.

01:36:21.620 And we're seeing this

01:36:22.180 all the time

01:36:22.840 where conservatives

01:36:23.700 are prosecuted

01:36:25.740 for things that you wouldn't,

01:36:27.200 that the liberals aren't.

01:36:29.240 They're,

01:36:29.640 the DOJ is cracking down

01:36:30.860 in ways that are amazing.

01:36:32.500 Well, I mean,

01:36:32.780 look at Trump.

01:36:33.420 I mean,

01:36:33.600 the guy has like,

01:36:34.640 you know,

01:36:34.900 he prints out one piece of paper

01:36:36.380 and it's in one of his,

01:36:37.740 you know,

01:36:38.440 sheds or something

01:36:39.340 and they're like just,

01:36:40.240 you know,

01:36:40.640 doing full raids on him,

01:36:42.160 you know.

01:36:42.660 And then you have,

01:36:43.460 you have Hunter Biden

01:36:44.220 who's broken like 500 federal laws.

01:36:46.880 We can let him wander around

01:36:48.840 in the White House

01:36:49.440 and drop cocaine off.

01:36:50.500 It's absolutely no big deal.

01:36:51.720 But it is,

01:36:52.620 you're seeing a turn now,

01:36:53.780 I think,

01:36:54.180 with the DOJ.

01:36:55.100 Like, you know,

01:36:55.580 we know there's been corruption

01:36:56.760 in the government, right?

01:36:57.460 This is nothing new,

01:36:58.780 but I feel like it's rising

01:36:59.720 to new levels now.

01:37:00.860 And the willingness

01:37:01.780 to use the DOJ

01:37:03.160 to just do your political dirty work.

01:37:05.200 I mean,

01:37:05.420 we saw this with Mark Houck.

01:37:06.580 This is a story

01:37:07.180 that we covered over at CBN,

01:37:09.340 you know,

01:37:09.660 you know,

01:37:09.960 very closely.

01:37:11.560 And he's the pro-lifer

01:37:12.920 who was,

01:37:14.080 he's regularly out in front

01:37:15.100 of these Planned Parenthoods

01:37:16.680 protesting,

01:37:17.280 you know,

01:37:17.840 abortion.

01:37:18.460 And he gets in an altercation

01:37:19.820 with a guy he knows

01:37:20.860 that they're,

01:37:22.660 you know,

01:37:22.860 he's one of the Planned Parenthood

01:37:24.040 escorts.

01:37:24.760 So they know each other.

01:37:26.080 This guy's harassed.

01:37:26.980 He doesn't like when the,

01:37:27.900 when the pro-lifers are around.

01:37:29.060 So he's giving them

01:37:29.820 a hard time.

01:37:30.460 You can see it on tape.

01:37:32.000 He goes up to him.

01:37:32.840 He's saying something

01:37:33.520 to Houck's son who's there.

01:37:34.700 It was only 12 vile things.

01:37:36.700 So he shoves him

01:37:38.220 and the guy falls down.

01:37:39.960 And so,

01:37:40.220 of course,

01:37:40.380 all the headlines,

01:37:40.900 he shoved an old guy,

01:37:42.900 the pro-lifer.

01:37:43.640 Well,

01:37:43.720 it was a very minor scrape.

01:37:45.540 It got dismissed

01:37:46.220 in local courts

01:37:47.220 and it was done.

01:37:48.780 And that's how these cases

01:37:50.220 would normally go.

01:37:51.240 In a normal justice system,

01:37:52.360 okay,

01:37:52.760 like,

01:37:53.060 you know,

01:37:53.460 there's a little bit

01:37:54.120 of an altercation

01:37:54.980 among people

01:37:56.380 who don't like each other.

01:37:57.600 No one's really hurt.

01:37:59.340 No.

01:37:59.700 You know,

01:38:00.300 local courts look at it.

01:38:01.760 The police drop the charges.

01:38:03.620 Whatever.

01:38:04.100 It's over.

01:38:04.720 He didn't,

01:38:05.060 this guy didn't even show up

01:38:06.280 to court.

01:38:06.820 That was one of the reasons

01:38:07.580 it got thrown.

01:38:08.080 He just was like,

01:38:08.640 man,

01:38:08.880 I couldn't be bothered

01:38:09.680 to show up to court.

01:38:10.900 Then out of nowhere,

01:38:12.400 I heard his buttocks

01:38:13.540 was bruised.

01:38:14.620 Was it?

01:38:15.300 From the fall.

01:38:15.540 Both cheeks?

01:38:16.360 Yes.

01:38:16.800 Oh, wow.

01:38:17.080 Yeah,

01:38:17.360 it's tough.

01:38:18.040 It's tough.

01:38:18.560 You know,

01:38:19.220 nobody falls.

01:38:20.100 That's such a rare occurrence.

01:38:21.100 It is.

01:38:21.720 But anyway,

01:38:22.500 so the DOJ swoops in

01:38:23.960 and out of nowhere

01:38:24.500 and they charge him

01:38:25.740 with a federal FACE Act crime.

01:38:28.020 And now,

01:38:28.360 after talking to his,

01:38:30.020 the FACE Act is,

01:38:30.780 you know,

01:38:31.040 blocking someone

01:38:31.840 from a doctor

01:38:33.180 or a patient

01:38:33.860 from going into

01:38:34.580 one of these clinics,

01:38:35.520 right?

01:38:35.700 That's what a,

01:38:36.160 this was not either

01:38:37.460 one of those people,

01:38:39.580 just an escort.

01:38:40.780 And he wasn't blocking

01:38:41.860 him at all.

01:38:42.280 The video evidence

01:38:42.960 clearly shows that

01:38:44.060 it was happening

01:38:44.760 on the corner of the street.

01:38:46.040 So why in the world

01:38:47.500 would the DOJ

01:38:48.640 come down on this?

01:38:50.600 And from what I,

01:38:51.340 when I talked to their lawyers,

01:38:52.840 you know,

01:38:53.500 for Houck,

01:38:54.380 they were saying that

01:38:55.440 the,

01:38:55.900 the feds will not

01:38:57.160 take a case typically

01:38:58.080 unless they have a 99%

01:38:59.620 chance of winning.

01:39:00.380 Like they just don't do it.

01:39:01.480 They will not waste their time.

01:39:03.040 And he's,

01:39:03.640 this case has no,

01:39:04.540 it's a terrible case.

01:39:06.480 They have absolutely

01:39:07.260 no chance

01:39:08.160 of winning this thing.

01:39:09.180 And it was dismissed

01:39:10.220 in like no time at all.

01:39:11.380 And also,

01:39:11.880 don't forget,

01:39:13.200 aside from just the charges,

01:39:14.540 they showed up

01:39:15.760 at his house

01:39:16.500 with like 30 federal agents

01:39:18.800 fully armed.

01:39:19.940 Oh, right, right.

01:39:20.860 And he had already

01:39:21.740 told them

01:39:22.640 in writing

01:39:23.680 that he was willing

01:39:25.100 to come in.

01:39:25.660 He said,

01:39:25.860 hey,

01:39:25.940 I think you don't have

01:39:26.540 a case here,

01:39:27.080 but if you're going

01:39:27.480 to charge me,

01:39:28.060 we'll come in

01:39:28.580 to save everyone

01:39:29.460 the hassle.

01:39:29.920 And they ignored that

01:39:31.520 and they wanted to make

01:39:33.740 an example out of him.

01:39:34.960 Because remember,

01:39:35.300 this is before the election.

01:39:36.460 All this happened in September,

01:39:38.260 right ahead of the elections.

01:39:39.740 So they wanted

01:39:40.880 to make examples

01:39:41.720 and put headlines

01:39:42.580 of pro-lifers

01:39:43.800 looking like these

01:39:44.620 big criminals

01:39:45.360 ahead of the election.

01:39:46.520 That's fascinating

01:39:47.260 when you think about

01:39:47.940 what is the chain

01:39:49.420 of information

01:39:50.120 that leads

01:39:50.680 to that moment.

01:39:51.880 Why on earth

01:39:52.480 would the DOJ

01:39:53.260 even be aware

01:39:54.240 of this stupid

01:39:55.180 little tiny

01:39:55.980 local incident

01:39:56.960 at an abortion clinic?

01:40:00.460 And we're seeing

01:40:01.040 this over and over again.

01:40:02.040 You guys broke a story

01:40:02.960 that probably

01:40:04.080 many people

01:40:04.640 are somewhat aware of

01:40:06.300 of a guy

01:40:07.200 who's protesting

01:40:07.920 an abortion.

01:40:08.460 Where was it?

01:40:08.880 This was a pride rally.

01:40:11.380 A pride rally.

01:40:12.120 And it was happening

01:40:12.800 in Redding, Pennsylvania.

01:40:14.880 And this guy,

01:40:16.480 he's a street preacher.

01:40:17.680 He's regularly out there

01:40:18.540 preaching the gospel

01:40:19.560 and things like that.

01:40:20.860 And so he finds out

01:40:21.720 that there's this pride rally

01:40:22.940 there in Redding,

01:40:23.520 which is not,

01:40:24.360 it's not an area

01:40:25.680 that you're typically

01:40:26.280 going to get

01:40:26.800 like a pride rally.

01:40:27.380 It's not New York City.

01:40:28.220 Right.

01:40:28.580 So this is not

01:40:29.080 a common occurrence there.

01:40:30.000 So there were a couple

01:40:30.500 of Christians

01:40:30.860 that showed up

01:40:31.620 and they had signs.

01:40:32.920 Well, this guy shows up

01:40:34.800 and joins

01:40:35.480 like these two or three

01:40:36.260 Christians that are there

01:40:36.960 across the street.

01:40:38.880 Now the officer

01:40:39.900 within 60 seconds

01:40:42.100 arrests him

01:40:42.880 and charged him

01:40:43.580 with criminal

01:40:44.500 disorderly conduct.

01:40:45.940 All he did was walk up

01:40:47.080 and you can see it on tape.

01:40:48.160 There was another guy,

01:40:49.060 you know,

01:40:49.280 praise God filming this

01:40:50.320 so that it was on tape

01:40:51.900 and you could see it.

01:40:53.080 And this cop is just,

01:40:54.540 he's like,

01:40:54.820 let them have their day.

01:40:55.600 And he's like,

01:40:55.860 look, this is public property.

01:40:56.800 I can be here.

01:40:58.000 And he's like,

01:40:58.360 yeah, you're right,

01:40:58.920 but just let them

01:40:59.420 have their day.

01:41:00.020 And he's like,

01:41:00.420 all right,

01:41:00.820 well, you do you,

01:41:01.600 I'll do me.

01:41:02.420 I'm going to say

01:41:03.240 what I'm going to say.

01:41:03.880 He starts to quote

01:41:04.560 a Bible verse.

01:41:06.220 It was 1 Corinthians,

01:41:07.620 I think.

01:41:07.880 And as soon as he starts

01:41:10.200 in on the Bible verse,

01:41:11.040 this cop turns around,

01:41:12.160 makes a beeline for him

01:41:13.080 and says,

01:41:13.240 that's it.

01:41:14.120 I've had enough of you.

01:41:15.000 You're done.

01:41:15.900 Throws him up against the wall

01:41:16.880 and arrests him.

01:41:18.540 And it was kind of funny

01:41:19.540 in the comments

01:41:20.040 because all the people

01:41:20.640 are going,

01:41:20.940 congratulations, brother.

01:41:21.940 You just won the lotto.

01:41:24.080 But it is,

01:41:24.780 it's this pattern

01:41:25.420 of like they're pushing

01:41:26.600 and authorities are pushing

01:41:28.160 and we're having

01:41:29.000 as Christians

01:41:29.680 and conservatives

01:41:30.380 to defend ourselves.

01:41:32.280 And, you know,

01:41:32.980 he had to go

01:41:33.700 and thankfully

01:41:34.780 they threw it out.

01:41:35.560 I think the prosecutors

01:41:37.060 looked and like,

01:41:37.660 what did you guys do here?

01:41:39.560 You have a lawsuit.

01:41:41.200 But those lines

01:41:42.980 are being tested

01:41:43.860 constantly.

01:41:45.780 And so,

01:41:46.260 you know,

01:41:47.000 it's the onus

01:41:47.660 is on us

01:41:48.200 to say like,

01:41:48.860 no, no,

01:41:49.200 we're actually

01:41:49.720 within our rules

01:41:50.500 to be able to say

01:41:51.260 what we want to say.

01:41:51.980 It's crazy.

01:41:52.780 And we're at that point

01:41:53.420 where we really are.

01:41:54.600 The last line of defense

01:41:55.600 seems to be these courts

01:41:56.700 that have held the line

01:41:58.080 so far.

01:41:58.620 The Supreme Court

01:41:59.100 did several times.

01:42:00.060 Yeah.

01:42:00.180 There was a religious freedom,

01:42:02.660 of course,

01:42:02.960 with that 303 creative case

01:42:04.380 where you talked about

01:42:05.420 what are you forced

01:42:06.360 to make websites

01:42:07.580 for things you don't agree with.

01:42:09.640 And these lines

01:42:10.520 are being pushed

01:42:11.140 all the time by the left.

01:42:12.300 And what's scary is

01:42:13.000 eventually they're going

01:42:13.640 to get one of these through.

01:42:15.160 They're not going to fail

01:42:16.160 forever in the courts.

01:42:17.560 If the only thing

01:42:18.420 you have holding up

01:42:19.720 insanity

01:42:21.360 is a 5-4 vote

01:42:24.300 or a 6-3 vote

01:42:25.700 even in the Supreme Court,

01:42:26.920 you do not have much

01:42:28.420 of a basis

01:42:29.260 for the foundation

01:42:30.460 of your civilization.

01:42:31.760 Especially when you know

01:42:32.640 the plan is

01:42:33.340 to pack the court

01:42:34.200 and add, you know,

01:42:36.280 four or five

01:42:37.040 liberal justices.

01:42:38.980 And they're going

01:42:39.800 to try to do that.

01:42:40.840 They have to.

01:42:41.880 Because they can't stand

01:42:43.400 the rulings

01:42:44.040 that are happening right now.

01:42:45.080 They can't stand it

01:42:45.560 and they will abandon it.

01:42:46.680 And that's a sad thing

01:42:47.740 that we used to be able to

01:42:49.080 as Americans

01:42:49.680 on the left and right,

01:42:50.600 what, 20 years ago,

01:42:51.780 30 years ago,

01:42:52.460 we could agree

01:42:53.300 on the basic

01:42:53.960 founding principles

01:42:54.980 of the country.

01:42:55.800 They don't do that

01:42:56.780 anymore.

01:42:57.700 That ship has sailed

01:42:58.980 and they're going

01:42:59.800 to keep pushing

01:43:00.280 until they can pack

01:43:01.360 the courts

01:43:01.740 and just get their way.

01:43:02.820 Yep.

01:43:03.300 I know you're covering

01:43:03.880 this on the Quick Start

01:43:05.120 podcast as well as

01:43:06.020 faithwire.com and CBN.

01:43:07.700 Before you go,

01:43:08.320 though, I want to,

01:43:09.080 you live in Pennsylvania.

01:43:10.360 Yeah.

01:43:10.540 And there's a story

01:43:11.140 that happened there

01:43:11.760 a few weeks ago

01:43:12.460 that I am fascinated by.

01:43:14.140 Pat, I think you'll

01:43:14.640 be fascinated by this as well.

01:43:15.840 I don't know how closely

01:43:16.600 you followed it.

01:43:17.360 But there was a big accident.

01:43:18.480 I don't remember

01:43:18.800 exactly what happened.

01:43:19.520 A truck.

01:43:20.060 It was sad.

01:43:20.420 The guy died,

01:43:21.040 but it was a trucker

01:43:22.160 and he was going

01:43:22.580 under an underpass

01:43:23.480 and he crashed somehow,

01:43:25.080 but it was like a fuel truck

01:43:26.320 or something.

01:43:26.820 So it like exploded

01:43:27.940 and it was a massive fire

01:43:29.780 and it actually,

01:43:30.940 it melted the overpass.

01:43:32.780 There's crazy videos

01:43:33.740 of it starting to buckle

01:43:34.620 and people were like

01:43:35.540 filming, driving over

01:43:36.760 and it like goes down.

01:43:37.660 So anyway,

01:43:38.060 and it collapsed.

01:43:38.440 Really scary.

01:43:38.900 Yeah.

01:43:39.280 Really scary.

01:43:39.940 And I remember

01:43:41.500 after hearing about this,

01:43:43.640 the governor of the state

01:43:45.000 comes on like,

01:43:45.880 it could be months.

01:43:47.680 We could be talking

01:43:48.180 three months of,

01:43:49.500 and this is I-95

01:43:50.340 if you don't know this area,

01:43:51.440 like it's the highway.

01:43:52.580 Three lanes on each side.

01:43:53.760 It's just before Philly.

01:43:54.860 It's just a few minutes

01:43:55.720 before Philadelphia.

01:43:56.620 Yeah.

01:43:56.860 And it's a massive area.

01:43:58.980 Thousands and thousands

01:43:59.860 of people crossing this

01:44:00.740 all the time.

01:44:01.460 It would be a major disruption

01:44:02.780 to get off this highway

01:44:03.860 and have to drive

01:44:04.660 through Philadelphia

01:44:05.560 to get back on the highway

01:44:06.620 is a massive thing

01:44:08.220 for traffic.

01:44:09.660 And then all of a sudden,

01:44:11.460 like a few days later,

01:44:13.340 they're like,

01:44:14.500 bridge is back.

01:44:16.060 Yeah.

01:44:16.760 12 days.

01:44:18.160 12 days.

01:44:19.280 12 days.

01:44:19.920 Now I drove by this thing.

01:44:21.100 That's incredible.

01:44:22.180 Yeah.

01:44:22.320 I had to go down to Philly

01:44:23.900 for something

01:44:24.440 in the middle of this

01:44:24.940 and they're like,

01:44:25.240 oh, you got to do the detour.

01:44:26.360 And I'm going down there

01:44:28.440 and I drove by it.

01:44:30.260 It looked like,

01:44:31.700 I mean, it was horrible.

01:44:32.600 Like it was rubble.

01:44:33.720 Like it was a disaster zone

01:44:35.620 down there.

01:44:36.220 And I'm like,

01:44:36.820 there's no way

01:44:37.700 they're getting this thing

01:44:38.420 because I was there

01:44:39.220 on like the middle of the week.

01:44:40.480 Yeah.

01:44:40.740 And they're like,

01:44:41.320 it's going to be open

01:44:42.300 by the weekend.

01:44:43.060 I'm like, what?

01:44:44.180 There's nothing there.

01:44:45.700 What are you talking about?

01:44:46.760 I've seen construction projects.

01:44:48.540 They take like 10 years.

01:44:49.820 All right.

01:44:50.220 I would say,

01:44:51.460 that's a great example

01:44:53.120 of American ingenuity.

01:44:54.360 People coming together

01:44:55.140 in a tough time

01:44:55.900 to get something done

01:44:56.580 faster than normal.

01:44:57.900 Okay, fine.

01:44:59.340 Now let's step back

01:45:00.460 to the regular day stuff.

01:45:02.820 Why?

01:45:04.060 Why does every construction project

01:45:06.520 take a zillion years

01:45:08.860 when this,

01:45:10.720 when they really need it done?

01:45:11.560 You ever been to Fort Worth?

01:45:13.060 Fort Worth, Texas?

01:45:14.420 Gosh.

01:45:14.560 I mean,

01:45:15.680 there are construction projects

01:45:18.140 that were begun

01:45:19.320 long before we got here

01:45:21.240 in 2012.

01:45:22.500 They're still going on now.

01:45:25.720 And as there were in 2012,

01:45:29.500 nobody's there

01:45:30.600 except for the orange cones

01:45:32.700 and barrels

01:45:33.420 and all of that.

01:45:34.880 Nobody's there still.

01:45:36.300 And it's,

01:45:36.820 I can't for the life of me

01:45:38.540 understand what they're doing.

01:45:39.820 And they rallied everyone, right?

01:45:41.120 They knew they had to get this done.

01:45:42.240 And so you think,

01:45:42.700 okay, they can do it.

01:45:44.640 So why does it get held up

01:45:46.200 on all these other times?

01:45:47.400 And I think it's probably

01:45:48.380 a couple things.

01:45:49.560 One,

01:45:50.060 they know the federal government

01:45:51.240 doesn't really care about,

01:45:53.220 I mean,

01:45:53.400 how many of these projects

01:45:54.160 ever land on budget?

01:45:55.220 Have you ever heard

01:45:55.720 of one of these construction projects?

01:45:56.960 It'll be a billion.

01:45:57.980 Oh, really?

01:45:58.480 Like $50 billion later.

01:46:00.480 We were a little over it.

01:46:01.560 Like no private company

01:46:02.560 would ever stand for that.

01:46:03.460 But you can build

01:46:04.060 the government on that.

01:46:05.480 The other thing is the unions.

01:46:07.040 So when the governor comes in

01:46:08.840 and just says,

01:46:09.300 okay, you know what?

01:46:09.920 Unions just stand down, guys.

01:46:11.920 Because they wouldn't allow

01:46:12.880 work around the clock

01:46:14.320 and all that.

01:46:14.880 Wouldn't happen.

01:46:15.480 This is the time

01:46:16.120 they actually need it.

01:46:16.880 And when they need it,

01:46:17.520 they can do it.

01:46:18.220 It's fascinating to watch in action.

01:47:09.820 Have you tried the raspberry lemonade?

01:47:12.880 Yes.

01:47:13.380 Very good.

01:47:14.220 Very delicious.

01:47:15.180 They are always delicious,

01:47:16.620 but that's a good flavor.

01:47:17.680 Yeah.

01:47:18.000 I like it.

01:47:18.680 Very good.

01:47:19.200 And also mention,

01:47:20.860 you know,

01:47:21.220 we talked about the presidential candidates

01:47:22.660 that are out there.

01:47:24.060 The best candidate is,

01:47:25.540 of course,

01:47:25.820 the one you can get the shirt for

01:47:27.660 at studosmerch.com,

01:47:29.160 which is anyone but

01:47:30.220 Biden 24.

01:47:32.100 It's funny because it looks

01:47:33.360 kind of like a Biden shirt,

01:47:34.520 like from a distance.

01:47:35.140 You might say,

01:47:35.840 is that guy a Biden fan?

01:47:36.940 You get closer

01:47:37.460 and it just says anyone but

01:47:39.280 Biden 24.

01:47:40.180 So you got that up there

01:47:41.640 as well as the

01:47:42.660 hasjoebidencuredcancer.com shirt.

01:47:46.340 You can go to the website

01:47:47.220 and check hasjoebidencuredcancer.com.

01:47:49.220 Right now,

01:47:49.540 the answer is no,

01:47:50.220 but by the end of the broadcast,

01:47:51.400 you never know.

01:47:52.300 You never know

01:47:53.040 because he's working on it so hard

01:47:54.600 and he promised.

01:47:55.960 Yeah.

01:47:56.120 I mean,

01:47:56.280 he promised

01:47:57.020 it was going to happen.

01:47:58.960 And he mentioned,

01:48:00.640 in fact,

01:48:01.100 I'm not joking.

01:48:03.080 So,

01:48:03.740 you know he's serious about it.

01:48:04.300 You know he was serious

01:48:05.100 when he says that.

01:48:06.320 Yeah.

01:48:06.880 And,

01:48:07.280 in fact,

01:48:08.080 it's just surprising

01:48:09.020 that it hasn't been cured yet.

01:48:10.740 It is surprising.

01:48:12.080 Yeah.

01:48:12.420 So,

01:48:12.980 check that out.
