The Glenn Beck Program - If Fauci Wants People Vaccinated, He Needs to Change His Tone ｜ 7⧸9⧸21 ｜ The Glenn Beck Program

00:00:00.000 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:23.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:30.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK, the number to call.

00:00:44.040 Michael Avenatti in the news again.

00:00:46.820 Such a class act.

00:00:48.440 Don't you love the guy?

00:00:49.740 He's truly awesome.

00:00:52.740 Richard Branson trying to beat Jeff Bezos into space.

00:00:56.360 And, of course, Joe Biden kind of takes credit for the Osama bin Laden thing.

00:01:05.080 We'll get to all of that and a lot more in 60 seconds.

00:01:12.520 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:14.880 Since the pandemic started, 20% of homeowners have refinanced their homes.

00:01:20.080 20%.

00:01:20.520 It's a smart decision.

00:01:22.120 If you did it, you probably saved yourself hundreds of dollars per month.

00:01:25.780 Now, are you one of the 20%?

00:01:27.160 Are you one of the remaining 80% who haven't gotten around to it yet?

00:01:29.700 That's okay.

00:01:30.520 But what are you waiting for?

00:01:32.120 Interest rates are still at very impressive lows.

00:01:34.180 And you could end up saving a lot of cash.

00:01:36.940 Here's what you should do.

00:01:37.700 Give American Financing a call.

00:01:39.600 You can do it today.

00:01:40.540 They're going to go over your finances with you.

00:01:42.560 See if something like a refinance or a consolidation loan might help you out.

00:01:47.040 And there's not any obligation.

00:01:48.700 There's no upfront or hidden fees.

00:01:50.740 Maybe best of all, there's no pressure.

00:01:52.560 And that's because American Financing isn't working for the bank.

00:01:54.580 They're working for you.

00:01:55.620 It's pretty normal to think about things like pay raises rather than trimming costs.

00:01:59.020 But you know what?

00:01:59.500 It comes to the same thing.

00:02:00.560 It's money in your pocket.

00:02:02.060 So don't be one of the 80% that haven't refinanced or looked at this yet.

00:02:06.720 Call American Financing today.

00:02:08.040 Call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:02:16.500 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:02:34.620 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:43.640 He's back on Monday.

00:02:45.100 888-727-BECK.

00:02:47.620 Michael Avenatti, where has he been for the last...

00:02:50.960 What's it been?

00:02:51.840 15, 20 minutes since he was in the news?

00:02:53.700 Remember when he was everywhere all the time?

00:02:58.840 Those were the days.

00:03:00.120 Those were good times.

00:03:01.460 Really good times.

00:03:02.860 Kind of came out of nowhere.

00:03:04.020 Mm-hmm.

00:03:04.720 Was suddenly the most famous man in America for a three to six month period.

00:03:10.520 Right.

00:03:11.400 And then things took a nasty turn.

00:03:14.460 They sure did.

00:03:16.080 Well, he tried to hold up Nike for $20 million or something.

00:03:18.900 I mean, who among us has not tried to hold up an international corporation for tens of millions of dollars?

00:03:28.940 I think we've all done it.

00:03:30.240 We've all been there.

00:03:31.600 Yeah.

00:03:32.260 Avenatti just got caught.

00:03:33.840 And that's very sad.

00:03:35.160 What I think is really fascinating about Avenatti is he comes in, he's just embraced immediately by the media.

00:03:43.380 Well, yeah, because he hated Trump and he had things to say about Trump that weren't flattering.

00:03:48.340 And so he was speaking truth to Trump.

00:03:51.360 Yeah.

00:03:51.820 And he was essentially the equivalent of a Twitter feed.

00:03:55.040 Like he came out, he was constantly prepping little insults, you know, little ways to phrase things that like the media loved because they were doing the work that, I mean, to be honest, they were doing the work that the journalists wanted to do.

00:04:09.060 Yeah.

00:04:09.220 The journalists don't want to act like journalists.

00:04:11.440 They want to be able to yell and scream Twitter insults at the president at that time over and over and over and over again.

00:04:19.740 And sometimes they just do.

00:04:21.420 And sometimes they do.

00:04:21.960 That.

00:04:22.500 Yeah.

00:04:22.580 But they, you know, they might get a little pushback here and there.

00:04:26.340 Avenatti was just doing all the stuff they wanted to do.

00:04:28.940 Accused the president of all the things they thought he did without evidence.

00:04:32.300 But man, did they love him.

00:04:33.820 Here's just a little reminder of how much they loved him.

00:04:37.760 He's Donald Trump's worst nightmare.

00:04:40.140 Michael Avenatti.

00:04:41.180 Joining us once again is Michael Avenatti.

00:04:42.800 Let's bring in Michael Avenatti.

00:04:43.980 Michael Avenatti.

00:04:44.620 Michael Avenatti.

00:04:45.400 Michael Avenatti, thank you very much.

00:04:47.100 He's out there saving the country.

00:04:48.520 Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the republic.

00:04:50.800 You are something of a folk hero now.

00:04:53.160 I owe Michael Avenatti an apology.

00:04:55.380 I've been saying enough for writing, Michael.

00:04:56.920 I've seen you everywhere.

00:04:57.960 What do you have left to say?

00:04:59.560 I was wrong, brother.

00:05:00.500 You have a lot to say.

00:05:02.060 I am just dying to hear what you think.

00:05:05.460 These people all like you.

00:05:06.360 I'm the only person right here Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller.

00:05:10.680 We think you guys are the tip of the spear that's going to take down Donald Trump. 0.79

00:05:15.220 Michael Avenatti's a beast.

00:05:16.860 Okay, that's true. 0.99

00:05:17.920 And he's a beast. 0.98

00:05:18.620 That's fair. 0.99

00:05:18.980 He's a beast. 0.99

00:05:19.600 I hand it to her. 0.99

00:05:20.880 And I hand it to Michael Avenatti.

00:05:22.560 But he has a bigger calling here.

00:05:24.420 That being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's doing.

00:05:27.400 You know what he's...

00:05:28.460 ...has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti.

00:05:33.100 Wow.

00:05:33.180 And Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name.

00:05:36.320 Oh, yeah.

00:05:36.660 That's fascinating.

00:05:37.460 Donald Trump is terrified of Michael Avenatti.

00:05:40.460 He gives Trump a run for his money more than anybody else, Michael Avenatti.

00:05:43.360 Existential threat to the Trump presidency.

00:05:45.880 The Democrats could learn something for you.

00:05:47.740 You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are.

00:05:50.320 He has no doubt created sheer panic in Donald Trump's very fragile mind.

00:05:56.120 Michael Avenatti is laying down the law as guest co-host.

00:06:00.300 And is he really thinking about running for president?

00:06:03.400 One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.

00:06:07.860 You look at the field of Democrats right now, and Avenatti's the one who stands out.

00:06:11.200 If they decided to value a fighter most, people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avenatti.

00:06:16.600 I have always said that they need a fighter.

00:06:18.280 Look, I mean, we're going to continue to use the media.

00:06:20.640 I think we've used it with great success.

00:06:23.320 That's amazing.

00:06:24.000 And there's one more clip here at the end.

00:06:25.400 Oh, they don't have the one at the end.

00:06:27.180 What was the one at the end?

00:06:28.660 He says something to one host where he says something like,

00:06:31.240 You know, I'll say all my sexual fantasies go along with handcuffs.

00:06:37.040 Here it is. 0.96

00:06:39.340 Yeah. 0.98

00:06:39.740 All of my sexual fantasies involve handcuffs. 0.97

00:06:42.160 I told you. 0.97

00:06:43.860 Oh! 0.60

00:06:44.260 Oh! 0.60

00:06:46.500 Yay! 0.99

00:06:47.000 Yes!

00:06:47.440 Clap-ity-clap-clap!

00:06:49.400 We're all wonderful!

00:06:51.000 We're all into bondage!

00:06:53.560 And guess what, Michael?

00:06:55.060 You're going to be able to live out those fantasies now in the next two and a half years.

00:06:58.940 Congratulations.

00:07:00.080 Yeah.

00:07:00.340 It's going to be lots of fun.

00:07:01.740 You're going to see how wonderful those fantasies really are.

00:07:05.000 How embarrassing is that for the media?

00:07:07.040 It's so embarrassing.

00:07:08.060 And they spend so much time being like, they won't even mention Michael Avenatti's name.

00:07:11.220 Now who's not mentioning his name?

00:07:12.740 Trump has no problem mentioning his name now.

00:07:14.480 What about all these other places that were having him on as basically an exalted co-host

00:07:20.300 for months on end?

00:07:22.740 Yeah.

00:07:23.060 And there was the rumblings that he was going to run in 2020 for president.

00:07:26.460 Mm-hmm.

00:07:26.780 Remember that?

00:07:27.620 And that kind of went away.

00:07:29.620 Yeah.

00:07:29.900 Sort of went away.

00:07:30.660 And remember, too, it wasn't just Trump, per se, he was attacking.

00:07:35.340 He also had one of the fake accusers of Kavanaugh under his umbrella.

00:07:42.560 Oh.

00:07:43.160 He brought along one of those three.

00:07:45.100 Everyone's like, wait a minute, none of these claims make any sense.

00:07:48.420 And that was, I think, the beginning of the end because it was so easily sort of debunked.

00:07:54.040 And I think there was a moment there where the media said, oh, wait a minute, he might

00:07:59.840 just be making all the stuff up.

00:08:01.320 And much of it he was, obviously.

00:08:03.440 We know that now.

00:08:04.400 What's fascinating about this is he is such a terrible figure.

00:08:09.200 Such an awful, awful, just, I mean, he's a creature of the system that is, you know,

00:08:17.320 the lowest among us, right?

00:08:18.820 It's like the worst that society can produce, is Mike Lavinati.

00:08:23.260 And he's so bad, I mean, especially among conservatives, like, he's going to prison because he defrauded

00:08:30.500 and tried to extort Nike.

00:08:33.220 The company that, like, promotes Colin Kaepernick and gives him millions of dollars to do nothing

00:08:41.240 except harass police officers and conservatives are like, good job, good job, Nike, you got

00:08:47.660 him.

00:08:47.840 Like, he's actually lower on the scale than Nike, which is saying something.

00:08:53.000 Yeah, Nike's pretty low in my book.

00:08:55.100 People don't like Nike that are at least conservatives.

00:08:58.000 And it doesn't even have a problem, I think, now with the woman who brought him to prominence

00:09:03.180 because he was her lawyer, Stormy Daniels.

00:09:05.980 And isn't she suing him, too?

00:09:07.540 Oh, no.

00:09:08.300 I think she's suing him.

00:09:09.800 He's that bad of a lawyer.

00:09:10.880 He's that bad that even Stormy Daniels is, I think, suing him for, I don't know what.

00:09:20.660 She says, she had a statement reacting to his sentencing today.

00:09:25.440 And she said, he was a man you wanted to trust and believe in.

00:09:29.300 But the longer I knew him, I began witnessing his lies and dishonesty until I realized I, too, became his victim.

00:09:37.460 I am sure today he found a reckoning.

00:09:40.580 Let's hope that leads to an honest realization that he must change his life. 0.85

00:09:45.000 Again, Michael Avenatti is not only below Nike, but also this stripper porn star that was trying to go after the president as well.

00:09:53.920 So really a, and I actually don't know her work all that well, so I shouldn't say it. 0.86

00:09:59.580 Was she a porn star or just a stripper? 1.00

00:10:01.160 I can't remember.

00:10:02.420 Does anyone remember this?

00:10:03.200 I don't remember either.

00:10:04.340 No?

00:10:04.620 I don't know.

00:10:05.100 Sarah, for some reason, doesn't seem to have this knowledge.

00:10:07.300 Why?

00:10:08.380 Sarah, I'm just asking for just a quick distinction. 0.98

00:10:12.180 Porn star or stripper? 0.99

00:10:13.760 Or both. 1.00

00:10:14.060 I'm pretty sure porn star, but. 0.99

00:10:15.280 Pretty sure. 0.95

00:10:15.680 I'm not sure she's sure.

00:10:16.240 Yep.

00:10:16.460 Sarah confirmed.

00:10:17.480 There you go.

00:10:18.080 You know, again, Sarah has many bits of knowledge that we sometimes don't fully explore.

00:10:22.600 We don't tap into.

00:10:23.620 Yeah, you know, we don't.

00:10:24.600 Not quite enough.

00:10:25.160 She's a reservoir of knowledge.

00:10:26.740 Yeah.

00:10:27.020 And we need to tap into it more.

00:10:28.800 In certain areas.

00:10:29.400 Other areas, not so much, but certain areas.

00:10:32.160 She really, she really nails it.

00:10:33.860 So thank you, Sarah. 0.73

00:10:34.380 Porn seems to be my area.

00:10:37.520 So it's really a fascinating story because, you know, if you think about it, really, like,

00:10:42.180 they did actually, like, churn up these checks that were paid from people like Michael Cohen

00:10:48.940 and the Trump Organization to, you know, these two women. 0.99

00:10:52.620 And even though that happened, still, this guy is a complete disgrace. 0.94

00:11:00.220 Like, I mean, this is an ultimate, this is a dream of the media at the time to come up

00:11:05.200 with this sort of storyline.

00:11:07.100 They came up with it and still Michael Avenatti ends up in prison.

00:11:11.200 That's.

00:11:11.420 It really is an amazing turn of events because we forget it happened so fast and so many

00:11:19.580 things happened to us.

00:11:20.660 They made him, they, I mean, they were trying to elevate him to president of the United States.

00:11:27.220 Right.

00:11:27.760 They really were.

00:11:29.060 And he was just nothing but a total tool.

00:11:31.280 Yeah.

00:11:31.620 That's all he was.

00:11:32.560 Hey, look, blatantly obvious from the beginning.

00:11:35.180 Mm-hmm.

00:11:35.480 Right, like, you know, he immediately reminded me of when he came on the scene was Michael

00:11:40.740 Cohen.

00:11:41.880 Yeah.

00:11:42.220 Trump's former attorney who has now turned on him and is now doing basically the same

00:11:46.280 thing that Avenatti was doing, going on cable news all the time and saying how, you know,

00:11:51.120 I've got all this information and nobody will listen to me and Trump's really bad and he's

00:11:55.240 going to prison soon.

00:11:56.300 All the things Avenatti was doing, now Michael Cohen is doing.

00:11:58.780 But, like, you know, you look at Michael Cohen, you look at Michael Avenatti, you just immediately

00:12:02.620 get the impression that not one 24-hour period has gone by where they didn't do something

00:12:07.200 illegal.

00:12:08.060 Yeah.

00:12:08.240 You know, it's just like, again, I don't have any evidence on it.

00:12:11.620 But the state apparently did on both of them.

00:12:16.220 So it's not worked out well for either.

00:12:19.120 And that's a sad turn of events.

00:12:21.660 Is it, though?

00:12:22.440 No.

00:12:22.900 I think him winding up in jail is kind of a happy, it's ended up in a happy place.

00:12:27.580 So, because nobody seems to be more deserving than Michael Avenatti.

00:12:31.860 Just spending a little time in prison.

00:12:33.880 So that'll be fun to see.

00:12:35.140 Sometimes it's good for people to sit back and think about what they've done.

00:12:39.180 You know, you need a timeout sometimes.

00:12:41.460 And he needs a timeout.

00:12:42.760 Uh-huh.

00:12:43.180 In a bad way.

00:12:43.660 And we should say it was very sad.

00:12:45.060 He cried.

00:12:46.280 He did weep openly.

00:12:48.000 As a man, he broke down and wept openly in court.

00:12:50.360 Yeah, that's sad.

00:12:51.380 Yeah.

00:12:51.920 You know, you could tell it's really gotten to him now after he's lost his money and his fame.

00:12:56.160 He did admit to wrongdoing, too.

00:12:57.860 He said he got carried away with himself or I don't know.

00:13:00.440 Oh, wait, what?

00:13:01.980 Yeah.

00:13:02.340 You think Michael Avenatti got carried?

00:13:05.200 Well, I don't think so, but he does.

00:13:06.120 Oh, okay.

00:13:06.280 He does.

00:13:06.760 He does now because he's got to show remorse so that maybe he can get parole sometime soon.

00:13:12.820 Right.

00:13:13.760 So we'll see.

00:13:14.800 We'll see what happens there.

00:13:16.300 But what a sad day for Michael when he wept.

00:13:20.260 And as a man, he wept openly.

00:13:25.080 888-727-BECK.

00:13:29.020 Also, I was fascinated by the fact that France is now warning their citizens about travel to Spain and Portugal.

00:13:38.380 They're kicking into gear the covid fears again because things are starting to calm down and governments are losing control of people.

00:13:46.340 And so we've got to we've got to regain control.

00:13:50.140 France is telling its citizens they shouldn't be vacationing in Spain or Portugal in the latest sign that the rapid spread of the Delta variant of covid-19 could wreck Europe's summer.

00:14:01.620 And here in the United States, they haven't scared us enough with the Delta variant yet. 0.63

00:14:07.080 So they're starting to push the Lambda variant.

00:14:10.060 Yeah, I've been hearing a little bit about the Lambda.

00:14:11.720 Lambda.

00:14:12.140 Now, does do the vaccines cover the Lambda?

00:14:15.540 I think it's too early to know what's going on with the Lambda.

00:14:17.580 I don't think there's any reason to believe that any of these variants are doing anything to evade these these very vaccines in any meaningful way.

00:14:27.200 Like the only one that seemed to really do it in any meaningful way was the South African one, which I can't is gamma.

00:14:32.700 Maybe I think in this new naming system, I can't remember.

00:14:35.400 Is it gamma?

00:14:35.840 I think it might be gamma, but it's already pretty much faded from view.

00:14:39.600 The Delta one does like, you know, there is one study out of Israel that shows it's still pretty effective, but not as effective.

00:14:49.320 Sixty four percent.

00:14:50.460 Sixty four percent.

00:14:51.740 But every Pfizer, which they're claiming what?

00:14:54.360 Ninety four percent.

00:14:55.980 Yeah.

00:14:56.160 I think every other study, though, has it more in the mid 80s to high 80s.

00:15:00.700 Oh, so like I don't know.

00:15:02.520 Even with the variants.

00:15:03.400 Yeah, they think they think one of the issues is that Israel is super aggressive with testing.

00:15:10.760 So if you come in contact at all with anyone who had covid, even if it wasn't like a long term contact or anything, they test everybody.

00:15:17.940 They do the entire tree.

00:15:19.440 And so they're catching a lot of asymptomatic cases and such.

00:15:22.060 But the same thing is holding that is held with every other variant in all of these situations.

00:15:26.500 You don't get as sick.

00:15:27.620 You don't get as sick.

00:15:28.340 You don't go to the hospital.

00:15:29.320 You don't die.

00:15:30.500 Which is a plus.

00:15:31.580 Yeah.

00:15:31.800 Those are all plus.

00:15:32.400 Yeah.

00:15:32.740 Those are all good things.

00:15:33.700 In almost every single situation.

00:15:35.260 Again, the number in the United States right now is ninety nine point nine.

00:15:39.260 Literally ninety nine point nine percent of hospitalizations are people that are unvaccinated.

00:15:43.760 So, again, take take what you want from that.

00:15:47.260 But ninety nine point nine.

00:15:48.420 Doesn't mean you have to get vaccinated.

00:15:49.480 No.

00:15:49.740 And it doesn't mean the government should force you to do it.

00:15:51.620 No, that's for sure.

00:15:52.440 It doesn't mean they should come to your door.

00:15:53.700 It doesn't mean Jen Psaki should show up with a needle. 1.00

00:15:55.820 No.

00:15:56.480 And inject you with anything.

00:15:58.320 Right.

00:15:58.480 It just means that, you know, these things have been pretty effective.

00:16:00.900 And we've seen a way to be able to deal with it.

00:16:04.440 Ninety nine point nine percent.

00:16:05.960 You might say, how could they possibly perform better?

00:16:08.820 And the answer to that is they could be one tenth of a percent better.

00:16:11.320 That's the answer.

00:16:13.220 They could be one hundred percent effective.

00:16:15.400 They're only ninety nine point nine percent.

00:16:17.700 So deal.

00:16:18.720 You know, that's just the thing.

00:16:20.880 And it's like they keep hyping this stuff.

00:16:23.580 You know, that right now, I mean, you're seeing what's going on with the Olympics, right, Pat?

00:16:27.620 That they're having no fans.

00:16:29.060 Yeah, no fans.

00:16:30.460 I heard a journalist talking about what they have to do.

00:16:33.660 They have to test every day for three days before they leave.

00:16:38.540 Then they have to get tested at the airport.

00:16:41.000 Then when they arrive, they have to get tested and go immediately from there to their hotel room in isolation for three full days.

00:16:48.120 Then they can't ever leave the Olympic bubble for any of the time that they're there.

00:16:56.040 So it's all inside the bubble.

00:16:58.280 And I think that the athletes as well have have after the Olympic Games are over, have 48 hours to leave the country.

00:17:07.380 Wow.

00:17:07.980 I mean, they are loading this on in Japan is not really.

00:17:11.720 I mean, they've been able to avoid the worst of this from the beginning.

00:17:14.280 I mean, they really haven't had a terrible time with COVID, but they're worried about it now.

00:17:19.440 And they said I heard a report this morning.

00:17:22.620 The overwhelming majority of Japanese citizens want them to cancel the games.

00:17:27.880 Wow.

00:17:28.400 Think about that.

00:17:28.940 That's a totally different vibe than I think America.

00:17:31.100 Oh, yeah.

00:17:31.400 Like we would be like, wait a minute, you're doing what?

00:17:34.160 Yeah.

00:17:34.780 There, the overwhelming majority in polls show that they want it canceled.

00:17:39.460 888-727-BECK.

00:17:46.740 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:49.280 888-727-BECK.

00:17:51.020 Just kind of an amazing feel, as you were saying, from Japan that's, I mean, so much different than what we're experiencing here,

00:17:59.180 where we kind of feel like, at least in Texas, it sort of feels like the pandemic's over.

00:18:05.000 Right?

00:18:05.520 We're kind of back to business as usual, for the most part.

00:18:08.280 Yeah.

00:18:08.520 What's, if you had to identify any differences from regular life to right now, the only thing I could point to is that occasionally employees at businesses are wearing masks.

00:18:18.740 Yeah.

00:18:19.060 You know, occasionally you walk around and you see a regular citizen walking around with one as well, but it's really, I would say it's normally pretty rare.

00:18:24.900 That, and the other thing I've noticed, Chick-fil-A still isn't open to in-store dining.

00:18:29.780 Yeah.

00:18:30.080 You know, I can't believe that.

00:18:31.400 A friend of mine has, his daughter's just turned, I think, 16 and going to get her first job, went to get a job at Chick-fil-A.

00:18:40.200 And I guess at one point they asked, like, you know, how come we haven't opened up this dining room yet?

00:18:44.820 Like, I mean, you know, we're kind of, aren't we past the worst of COVID?

00:18:47.340 And they said, it's not about COVID.

00:18:49.020 It's not about, like, safety precautions.

00:18:51.020 They can't get enough employees to open up the restaurants.

00:18:55.880 That's what it's about?

00:18:56.760 That is, yeah.

00:18:57.860 Wow.

00:18:58.280 And so a lot of these places are, I told you about this, this sports bar that's around us, that's now closing at 9 p.m.

00:19:04.340 Because they can only keep people there for one shift.

00:19:06.680 They don't have enough employees for two shifts.

00:19:09.260 So they can't keep them.

00:19:10.200 Because people are making too much money staying home and not taking these kinds of jobs.

00:19:13.420 That's at least part of it.

00:19:13.780 Is that what it is?

00:19:14.420 I will say, though, in Texas, for example, that's been canceled.

00:19:17.980 Oh, right.

00:19:18.380 You know, that's not even active and basically every red state has canceled that.

00:19:22.640 So that was, I think, part of it.

00:19:24.280 And I think you're seeing employees return faster in red states than you are in blue states.

00:19:29.960 But, you know, there's other parts of this as well.

00:19:32.680 I think until we get a guarantee to parents that their kids are going to be able to go back to school in a month, what are you going to do?

00:19:40.520 Take a job and you might have to then quit it?

00:19:43.180 And it's really hard, I think, for parents to figure out.

00:19:46.900 And I think in states like, you know, Florida and Texas, that's maybe the two biggest examples.

00:19:53.000 But with outspoken governors who are willing to say, look, these things are opening, you're not closing them.

00:19:59.480 I mean, you know, DeSantis has come out and said, you cannot close a public school, basically.

00:20:04.220 And that is important to parents because they've got something to depend on.

00:20:09.400 They've got a foundation to build the economy on.

00:20:12.300 Right.

00:20:13.180 Really tough for parents who both work.

00:20:15.540 And then, you know, they've had to figure out what to do with the kids since they're at home the whole time.

00:20:20.640 I don't know how people manage.

00:20:22.580 It's been a tough year or so.

00:20:25.240 I've noticed that.

00:20:25.900 Yeah.

00:20:26.000 Yeah.

00:20:26.260 Tough year.

00:20:27.160 888-727-BECK.

00:20:28.560 Back.

00:20:28.960 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up.

00:20:33.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:37.420 Dot org.

00:20:38.620 First of all.

00:20:39.820 Dot org.

00:20:40.760 Dot com.

00:20:41.540 Dot org.

00:20:42.360 Glenn.

00:20:43.320 Welcome.

00:20:44.220 It is Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:20:46.920 Jeffy has joined us, which is unfortunate.

00:20:50.200 I heard you were talking about porn.

00:20:52.460 And I want to stop by.

00:20:54.360 We actually were.

00:20:55.040 We were talking about whether or not Stormy Daniels has done it.

00:20:57.880 Yeah.

00:20:58.220 Has she done that? 0.80

00:20:59.480 Well, I wanted to go and view her work on a particular website.

00:21:05.060 Thank you.

00:21:05.940 And this company will not allow me to access that website.

00:21:09.660 No.

00:21:10.280 On their internet.

00:21:11.360 No.

00:21:11.980 They're not going to let you.

00:21:13.120 This is completely unacceptable.

00:21:15.880 Here you are just trying to do research for the show.

00:21:18.020 Thank you.

00:21:18.400 Right.

00:21:18.780 I think you need to go complain to Glenn about that.

00:21:21.300 I have already emailed.

00:21:23.140 You need to lodge a complaint.

00:21:25.900 This is completely unacceptable.

00:21:28.540 Well, I believe we did land on that.

00:21:30.880 She apparently did do a Stormy Daniels today stripper tour. 1.00

00:21:35.000 That's right.

00:21:36.000 Post Trump accusations.

00:21:37.380 Correct.

00:21:37.820 But that is not what she's known for.

00:21:40.000 She was known for her earlier work.

00:21:41.700 And as a very well-informed on this topic, a person here in this office just came in, said she was actually on the 40-year-old version.

00:21:49.920 She was in the 40-year-old version.

00:21:51.660 Apparently, that was the movie that he was using to excite himself.

00:21:57.120 Right.

00:21:57.620 In the movie.

00:21:59.080 Steve Carell.

00:21:59.620 Yeah.

00:21:59.980 Yeah.

00:22:00.800 Now, I'm not sure exactly why there was so much information bouncing around about that topic from this particular individual.

00:22:06.620 But we will leave that.

00:22:07.360 But he had a ton.

00:22:08.320 Yes, he did.

00:22:08.900 He had a ton of info.

00:22:09.260 He did.

00:22:09.280 He actually went into just getting, started listing off the entire filmography.

00:22:12.180 He had more information than Jeffy did.

00:22:14.340 On Stormy Daniels.

00:22:15.400 Yeah, he most definitely did.

00:22:16.640 Yeah.

00:22:17.080 Yeah.

00:22:17.800 So.

00:22:18.200 Apparently, his internet access works.

00:22:22.340 Okay.

00:22:22.560 Yeah.

00:22:22.700 Apparently so.

00:22:23.660 I would be stunned if you were the one that was blocked.

00:22:26.600 That would be really weird.

00:22:28.220 And I see, you know, just as a side note, we talked a little bit this morning on Pat's show, which airs immediately preceding this broadcast.

00:22:36.760 Yes.

00:22:37.060 That the Washington Post now is quoting this show, saying that the Biden administration should turn the.

00:22:46.060 They should turn to Trump.

00:22:47.240 The vaccine.

00:22:48.060 To get the vaccine kicked into the gear.

00:22:49.760 Really?

00:22:50.000 Washington Post.

00:22:51.540 So they just want to say Washington Post.

00:22:53.180 And it was after we talked about it.

00:22:54.560 Yeah.

00:22:54.740 When was that?

00:22:55.220 Wednesday.

00:22:55.800 Wednesday?

00:22:56.140 Yeah.

00:22:56.440 We're here for you.

00:22:57.320 Yeah.

00:22:57.560 And, you know, if you need some more stories, call.

00:22:59.540 Right.

00:22:59.780 It's okay.

00:23:00.540 It's all right.

00:23:01.340 Yeah.

00:23:01.640 We could be.

00:23:02.200 Maybe you could name us as a source, I suppose.

00:23:04.500 In fact.

00:23:04.640 We'll do that.

00:23:05.540 They said that they should acknowledge that it's the biggest medical breakthrough in world history.

00:23:13.920 Yeah.

00:23:14.080 Yeah.

00:23:14.680 That's amazing.

00:23:15.380 That's pretty amazing.

00:23:16.900 Yes, it is.

00:23:17.920 It's pretty amazing.

00:23:18.560 And give him credit for it.

00:23:19.540 That's what they said Biden should do so that he can, you know, kick the numbers into gear again.

00:23:24.200 Which I think it would.

00:23:25.400 I think so, too.

00:23:26.220 But it would.

00:23:26.800 Or they could just go door to door.

00:23:28.600 Or that.

00:23:29.320 You could just send Jen Psaki and Jensaki and Javier Becerra door to door to inject people individually.

00:23:38.140 And that would also help.

00:23:40.420 We have the Becerra clip.

00:23:41.920 Let's listen to this from yesterday.

00:23:43.960 This is crazy.

00:23:44.440 I wonder if you can answer that criticism.

00:23:47.200 It's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated.

00:23:50.820 What do you say?

00:23:51.400 Brianna, perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.

00:24:00.360 So it is absolutely the government's business.

00:24:03.520 It is taxpayers' business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy.

00:24:12.160 And so it is our business to try to make sure Americans can prosper.

00:24:16.260 Americans can freely associate.

00:24:18.860 And knocking on a door has never been against the law.

00:24:21.280 You don't have to answer.

00:24:22.200 But we hope you do, because if you haven't been vaccinated, we can help dispel some of those rumors that you've heard and hopefully get you vaccinated.

00:24:29.820 I just love that.

00:24:30.660 It is his business because they paid trillions of dollars that they went out and earned with their own sweat equity, with their own labor, with their own hands.

00:24:41.420 They've been actually digging in dirt and selling goods and services.

00:24:47.500 Is that how they got the money?

00:24:48.800 Yeah, at roadside stands.

00:24:50.500 They've been selling vegetables.

00:24:52.200 Really?

00:24:52.720 And fruits.

00:24:53.560 Because I thought they just took it from us.

00:24:55.680 No, no, no, no.

00:24:57.060 Good golly, no.

00:24:58.040 Then that wouldn't be their business if they got it from us.

00:25:01.100 Oh, okay.

00:25:01.980 No, this is from their own labor.

00:25:04.500 I think there's a government farm, and they sell all the vegetables and the fruits that they grow there.

00:25:10.160 Just along the side of the road there.

00:25:11.820 Yeah.

00:25:13.080 Roadside, you can get some really good corn on the cob from the U.S. government.

00:25:18.100 Maybe a little yellow squash.

00:25:19.120 Yeah.

00:25:19.600 Yeah.

00:25:20.040 You drive into town a little bit, and then you find their retail outlets for their clothing that they sell there.

00:25:25.780 Yeah.

00:25:26.160 It's been interesting to see the messaging on this because we were talking on News & Why Matters yesterday with Sarah Gonzalez, and she pointed out, I think correctly, that it was sort of assumed that after they said they were going to come door to door, the next step was, we didn't mean literally coming door to door.

00:25:41.340 Like, we weren't really going to come door to door.

00:25:44.100 That is literally what they meant, however.

00:25:45.980 Right.

00:25:46.440 But Sarah's just like, yeah, no, let's, yeah, door to door.

00:25:48.800 That's what we meant.

00:25:49.860 And they're not giving you, they're not going to have the, they're not going to be at your front door vaccine ready.

00:25:54.800 Right?

00:25:55.000 They're just giving you information on why you should get vaccinated, right?

00:25:58.360 No, I think they, won't they have the vaccine with them?

00:26:00.400 I don't think so.

00:26:01.100 The way it sounded is they were just going to be informative.

00:26:04.880 At least their new fallback position is, it's just like, and they're saying it's not going to be government, like, employees, or they're saying it's going to be like, your local pharmacist.

00:26:14.500 Like, your local pharmacist is going to take time out of their own day.

00:26:16.980 They're going to come door to door and say, like, hey, Justin, can you have any questions about the vaccine?

00:26:21.360 No.

00:26:21.960 You know, again, like, I.

00:26:23.340 Hi, I'm your local CVS pharmacist.

00:26:26.300 Just want to know if you want some vaccine information.

00:26:28.760 Yeah, and I got to say, like, in 1985, someone comes to my door.

00:26:34.520 I'm opening it up, asking them, like, what, yeah, what can I help you with?

00:26:37.540 Hey, buddy, thanks.

00:26:38.380 What can we talk about?

00:26:39.400 What do you have?

00:26:40.520 Oh, okay, that's, I'm not really interested in that.

00:26:42.140 Thank you, though.

00:26:43.100 In 2021, I assume they're either a murderer or they're trying to raise money for global warming.

00:26:48.920 And by the way, I'd rather have the murderer.

00:26:51.060 But still.

00:26:51.620 Well, you get roofers.

00:26:53.420 Oh, you do get all the roofers.

00:26:55.300 And you get bug guys.

00:26:57.220 You get anti-bug guys.

00:26:58.440 Yes.

00:26:58.720 And they don't want to leave.

00:27:00.320 The anti-bug guys will say, you'll say, do you have bug service?

00:27:02.960 And I work, you know, and my favorite of their sales pitch is, well, you know, Jessica down

00:27:08.260 the street.

00:27:09.060 No, I don't know her.

00:27:10.620 That's every time.

00:27:11.840 That's exactly what my roofer did to me.

00:27:13.860 I just did Steve's.

00:27:15.160 You know Steve over there?

00:27:16.080 Steve, just around the corner.

00:27:16.880 No, I don't know the guy who lives right directly next to me or the other person right

00:27:21.480 directly next to me on the other side.

00:27:23.500 And the bug guys have the implicit threat of carrying around poison with them.

00:27:27.320 Like there's a chance that if you say no, they're going to go to your ducks and inject poison.

00:27:32.660 And you know, I'm all right.

00:27:34.480 I've got it covered.

00:27:35.220 No problem.

00:27:35.660 Thanks for stopping by.

00:27:36.600 Well, who's your company?

00:27:37.580 Who's doing it for you?

00:27:38.340 Yeah.

00:27:38.600 Who's doing it?

00:27:38.860 No, I'm good.

00:27:39.640 I'm good.

00:27:40.200 I just closed the door.

00:27:41.840 And they're still talking.

00:27:42.800 And look, that's a longer conversation than I have with them.

00:27:45.260 I'm like, nope, close the door.

00:27:48.260 I just don't answer most of the time.

00:27:50.040 Because first of all, first of all, we have a no solicitation law from my HOA.

00:27:58.300 Okay.

00:27:58.600 Can HOAs pass laws? 0.84

00:28:01.480 Yes.

00:28:01.780 It supersedes the Constitution.

00:28:03.980 It does?

00:28:04.200 That particular law supersedes the U.S. Constitution.

00:28:08.260 Do not come to my door and solicit me.

00:28:10.440 If I want to buy something, I'll go to you.

00:28:13.140 Yeah.

00:28:13.620 Okay.

00:28:13.980 Don't come to my house. 0.58

00:28:14.900 That pisses me off.

00:28:16.140 That is the way commerce should work.

00:28:18.660 Yes.

00:28:18.880 Door-to-door sales.

00:28:19.900 I go to you if I want to buy something.

00:28:21.880 They're long gone, right?

00:28:23.040 Yeah.

00:28:23.200 And it is this sort of like, there has to be this, like, look, we just happen to be in

00:28:27.940 the area.

00:28:28.880 Yeah, I don't care.

00:28:29.640 And we've got these boards in the back.

00:28:30.580 Do you guys need something?

00:28:31.680 What do you guys need?

00:28:32.440 Do you guys need your roof repaired?

00:28:33.620 What are you talking about?

00:28:34.460 Yeah, I'm just going to have a flippant roof repair.

00:28:36.560 I was driving by.

00:28:37.240 I noticed some damage on your roof.

00:28:38.480 I don't know if you've noticed that on your one corner.

00:28:40.220 I can get up there and take a picture.

00:28:41.620 Wait, did you fly over my home?

00:28:43.540 I can see it from the road.

00:28:44.860 You haven't caught that.

00:28:45.640 No problem.

00:28:46.180 I just want to check it out for you.

00:28:47.420 Look, I know these things go on and people work hard.

00:28:51.220 It's just not the type of thing I want going on at my house.

00:28:54.100 And if someone comes and tries to pitch me a vaccine from the governor, like, no, that's

00:28:58.000 not going to work.

00:28:58.660 I don't want it.

00:28:59.080 I don't need it.

00:29:00.060 If you think it's a great idea to get people vaccinated, something like the idea of having 0.73

00:29:04.340 President Trump, who's arguably the nation's largest cheerleader for the vaccine, by the

00:29:09.020 way.

00:29:09.540 Have you heard the guy on interviews?

00:29:11.700 I mean, he's calling it a miracle routinely on interviews.

00:29:15.680 And frankly, it is.

00:29:16.580 It is.

00:29:17.000 Yes, it is.

00:29:17.500 I mean, look, I know there's disagreement on that from a lot of people, but like.

00:29:21.000 It is a miracle.

00:29:21.940 You don't have to take it.

00:29:22.920 You don't have to do it.

00:29:23.840 But it's a miracle it happened in less than a year.

00:29:25.880 It's never taken less than four.

00:29:27.880 Yeah.

00:29:28.120 And remember, this is now.

00:29:29.260 This is this is what the media was saying throughout the Trump presidency to try to sink

00:29:33.220 it.

00:29:33.760 Right.

00:29:33.920 Basically saying there's no way he will ever be able to pull this off.

00:29:37.480 There's no chance that they will have a vaccine by the end of the year.

00:29:40.320 He's lying to try to win an election.

00:29:42.900 And they said it over and over and over and over again.

00:29:45.340 And then it happened.

00:29:47.280 And then he should be proud of it.

00:29:49.300 Yeah, he should.

00:29:50.240 He should.

00:29:50.620 And they all said they weren't going to take it.

00:29:52.020 Oh, now and now we will.

00:29:54.700 Yeah.

00:29:54.800 Now it's now it's required.

00:29:56.100 And we're going to send people door to door. 0.98

00:29:57.640 The freaking vice president of the United States was on TV routinely saying she's Donald 0.97

00:30:02.440 Trump was associated with it. 0.99

00:30:04.040 She wasn't going to take it.

00:30:04.960 Right.

00:30:05.280 And then now.

00:30:06.240 Oh, absolutely.

00:30:07.380 We're going to come to your door.

00:30:08.260 Kamala might come to the door herself.

00:30:10.120 That was the needle for for for conservatives.

00:30:12.860 That was their biggest problem.

00:30:14.260 Getting them to take the vaccine because they bad mouthed it all the way up until they came

00:30:18.640 into office.

00:30:19.400 And then all of a sudden, it's the greatest thing ever.

00:30:22.460 And we take credit for it.

00:30:23.820 We're doing it all.

00:30:24.860 And we need 100 percent of you to have it right now.

00:30:27.540 That's amazing. 0.99

00:30:28.480 The flip flop that goes on with this crap. 1.00

00:30:30.620 So bizarre. 1.00

00:30:31.660 Really bizarre. 0.95

00:30:32.660 I mean, we're just we're filled with hypocrites, which is brings me to the story of the 16 year 0.90

00:30:37.760 old that made had one point seven million dollars in revenue. 0.72

00:30:42.380 And he made he profited one hundred and ten thousand dollars last year on revenues.

00:30:47.540 He was reselling products that he bought and then raised the price and sold it again on Facebook and Amazon.

00:30:56.320 And he made seven million dollars.

00:30:59.060 He made one point seven million.

00:31:00.800 He profited one hundred and ten thousand.

00:31:04.020 OK, a 16 year old.

00:31:05.140 Right.

00:31:05.420 Great story.

00:31:06.480 Wasn't it not too long ago where the Tennessee brothers who stockpiled bottles of hand sanitizer

00:31:13.760 that we were going to throw in jail?

00:31:16.260 Seventeen thousand bottles.

00:31:18.000 Donated.

00:31:18.760 They ended up donating half to homeless.

00:31:22.500 They didn't donate anything.

00:31:23.540 The government took it from the rest.

00:31:25.460 Took them all.

00:31:26.360 I took just in crowd, but less than a year later, I is great.

00:31:31.380 This kid is doing the same thing.

00:31:33.200 Selling goods and games on the Internet.

00:31:35.280 My gosh, we love it.

00:31:37.100 Well, I what a wonderful thing.

00:31:38.480 Now, that's I mean, that gets you into.

00:31:41.020 Well, isn't that price gouging?

00:31:43.620 Yeah.

00:31:43.800 Or is that capitalism?

00:31:45.320 Yeah.

00:31:45.500 Now, I, of course, I'm fully in favor of both of these stories.

00:31:50.340 And I will say there are there's no such thing as price gouging.

00:31:52.920 There are only prices that that's what they are.

00:31:55.780 They're just prices.

00:31:57.180 I know.

00:31:57.820 There's no such thing as price gouging.

00:31:59.680 You can't be gouged to.

00:32:00.980 You're taking advantage of people.

00:32:01.460 You can't be gouged to.

00:32:02.960 In a tragedy.

00:32:03.640 Willingly purchase something.

00:32:06.340 And so price gouging is a myth.

00:32:08.520 I know that.

00:32:09.640 But, you know, when there's a tragedy.

00:32:13.400 Yes.

00:32:13.980 If you're taking advantage of a hurricane, for example.

00:32:16.840 Yes.

00:32:17.600 Where all the gas stations in the entire area are closed.

00:32:20.680 But you're the only one open who has gas.

00:32:23.360 And you're charging $15 a gallon.

00:32:25.960 We're going to put you in jail for that.

00:32:27.500 Yeah.

00:32:27.700 And so what happens in a situation where you're not charging $15 a gallon?

00:32:31.960 What you get is everyone goes to the gas station and puts the maximum amount of gas possible.

00:32:36.680 Even if they don't need it.

00:32:37.700 Because they're worried it's going to be running out.

00:32:39.740 So then the people who really need it don't get it.

00:32:42.440 That's the opposite of price gouging.

00:32:44.460 It means the people who really need products oftentimes aren't able to get it.

00:32:48.780 Well, that's true anyway.

00:32:49.800 Because the people who really need it aren't getting it because the rich people aren't getting it.

00:32:54.740 That's not the way it works.

00:32:55.920 Usually what happens when it's overpriced is you only buy what you need.

00:33:00.500 Yeah.

00:33:00.860 Really?

00:33:01.440 Yeah.

00:33:01.740 You don't overbuy in those situations.

00:33:03.580 And you know what else happens?

00:33:05.580 Because the prices are high, and gas is a little bit different here.

00:33:09.320 But people come in with an extra supply, right?

00:33:13.100 You're able to bring in other people, maybe from out of state.

00:33:16.640 Like this always happens with bottled water.

00:33:18.800 Yeah, it sure does.

00:33:19.320 And they're like, oh gosh, people are charging $8 for bottled water.

00:33:21.680 First of all, every freaking baseball game I go to, I'm paying $8 for bottled water. 0.52

00:33:25.140 Event pricing. 0.95

00:33:25.880 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:27.060 But you know, the people come in, and then all of a sudden, you know what?

00:33:30.260 Bob from an hour away says, I've got four cases of water.

00:33:33.960 I'm just going to drive in there and sell them all for $8 a bottle.

00:33:36.240 Right.

00:33:36.440 Make some cash.

00:33:37.180 And then all of a sudden, there's more supply of the needed object.

00:33:41.520 Huh.

00:33:41.780 So that means that the price comes down because I can get it over there for cheaper.

00:33:46.380 So I'm 100% pro price gouging.

00:33:49.380 888-727-BECK.

00:33:51.480 More coming up in a second.

00:33:54.400 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:57.420 That's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:59.320 You can listen to my show immediately preceding this one live, if you want, on Blaze Radio TV.

00:34:03.400 That's 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 Central.

00:34:07.220 Or anytime you want, on podcast, anywhere you get your podcasts.

00:34:11.740 And Stu's show, just as easily accessed.

00:34:14.820 Yeah.

00:34:14.960 Stu's America on YouTube and on podcast, as well as, yes, it's true.

00:34:19.960 I guess Jeffy's not available, though.

00:34:21.920 No, you can get Chewing the Fat anywhere.

00:34:25.220 Oh, you can get that.

00:34:25.640 Yeah.

00:34:26.160 I'm sorry.

00:34:26.560 You were saying about where do I get yours?

00:34:29.100 Mine's on YouTube and podcast, but also Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

00:34:32.240 No, that's not available anymore, is it?

00:34:33.480 Oh, you can get that anywhere.

00:34:34.600 Oh, you can?

00:34:35.020 I'm still, you know, every day, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

00:34:38.680 Is it still free, though?

00:34:40.040 Have you been able to keep the price that low?

00:34:43.440 Yes.

00:34:44.100 I mean, I can't promise how long that's going to last.

00:34:46.980 He's fighting hard for you, America.

00:34:48.760 Fighting hard.

00:34:49.440 Well, it's one of those things we were just talking about price gouging a little bit.

00:34:52.100 Right.

00:34:52.480 And Jeffy's podcast is priced at the exact value it provides.

00:34:55.480 Yes, but it's free.

00:35:00.040 I don't understand.

00:35:02.000 Yeah.

00:35:02.780 It's free.

00:35:03.840 Anyway, I'd just like to take a moment also while I'm here to say hello to the reporters

00:35:08.900 who survived the deadly Capitol riot and are still struggling.

00:35:13.380 Some won't even go back into the building, and several have sought therapy to deal with

00:35:18.740 the trauma, and many, many aren't sleeping well.

00:35:23.800 So I just want to take a moment.

00:35:25.200 Well, how could you sleep after the horror that was the insurrection on January 6th?

00:35:30.980 How could you possibly ever sleep again after seeing it?

00:35:33.320 I don't understand how it's possible.

00:35:35.180 I don't either.

00:35:36.360 And plus, it's only been six months.

00:35:38.200 Yeah.

00:35:38.820 Right.

00:35:39.380 What are you going to do?

00:35:40.020 It's going to take a lot longer than that.

00:35:41.560 Oh, my gosh.

00:35:42.360 It'd take a lifetime.

00:35:43.540 It'd take a lifetime of therapy, and you still wouldn't be over that.

00:35:46.300 Am I right?

00:35:46.780 You are.

00:35:47.520 You're 100% right.

00:35:48.720 Once you've seen the piles of dead bodies on January 6th, it's still coming back from that.

00:35:54.320 You just can't come back.

00:35:56.420 I mean, now, there's a thought that maybe the reporters could just, I don't know, not

00:36:00.280 go back.

00:36:01.840 No, I mean, they're intrepid reporters, and they're trying desperately to do the job that

00:36:09.340 they've been paid to do.

00:36:10.600 Though I will say, Jeffy, for you, you could just not come back.

00:36:14.160 That's something that...

00:36:15.100 I mean, I'm already here.

00:36:16.040 I know.

00:36:16.760 I'm already here.

00:36:17.260 But maybe leave, and then you try out what you're recommending for them.

00:36:20.260 I'm going to go somewhere where I can get on an actual website.

00:36:22.220 I'll tell you that.

00:36:24.720 Oh, man.

00:36:30.700 Interesting build being proposed by Rand Paul.

00:36:34.100 Get into that.

00:36:34.620 Also, Dr. Fauci speaking out again.

00:36:37.320 Love him.

00:36:38.680 He's actually your father, isn't he?

00:36:40.520 He is.

00:36:41.500 Does you love him?

00:36:42.060 No, he is not my father.

00:36:43.920 We'll get into that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

00:36:51.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:53.880 So, are you looking at a summer of finally getting out?

00:36:58.900 Maybe you're in one of these states where they're allowing you to go outside for the

00:37:01.580 first time in quite a long time.

00:37:03.620 One of the things that was really enjoyable about the darkest parts of quarantine, at least

00:37:09.100 in our family, was we were able to go out and still enjoy the backyard.

00:37:12.980 We actually, as you know, Pat, I'm a COVID-19 survivor.

00:37:16.880 And during that period, which was, I guess, early October last year, still pretty warm

00:37:20.900 around here in these parts in Texas.

00:37:23.380 And we spent basically every night outside grilling out, you know, playing wiffle ball

00:37:29.220 in the backyard, like doing all those sort of family summer things that you kind of might

00:37:33.800 imagine as part of a real life.

00:37:36.520 You take, you really take those and they mean a lot more, I think, after the past year,

00:37:42.440 year and a half.

00:37:43.180 If you're going out and you're having people over for the first time in a while, if you're

00:37:46.580 having those gatherings, you got to have a rec tech.

00:37:49.600 Rec tech is the, is what you need.

00:37:52.680 It's a smart grill technology that you need to have because if it gets to be a hundred

00:37:57.280 degrees outside and you don't want to stand outside anymore, you just want to go inside,

00:38:00.880 you can control the whole process from inside the air conditioning with a rec tech.

00:38:04.980 It's going to, everything's going to be cooked perfectly and you're going to absolutely love

00:38:08.500 it.

00:38:08.660 Uh, we're talking about winter, spring, summer, or fall.

00:38:11.740 Cause you can do it from indoors.

00:38:13.380 So you don't, you don't keep, you don't keep the rec tech indoors, but you can control it

00:38:17.800 from your phone indoors.

00:38:19.600 Uh, rec tech, it's sturdy.

00:38:20.900 It's smart.

00:38:21.540 It's dinner time.

00:38:22.280 Follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

00:38:25.660 It's rec tech with a Q at the end, rec tech with a Q at the end, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com,

00:38:32.040 rec tech.com.

00:38:38.660 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:43.340 Uh, one of the things I love about Rand Paul, he just believes in freedom.

00:38:47.520 You know, it just seems like he's usually in there fighting for, uh, for Liberty, uh,

00:38:54.260 because he's, he's more of a, a libertarian kind of guy than, than not.

00:38:59.400 And he's just, uh, he's planning to introduce legislation now to revoke a federal mask mandate

00:39:06.820 for travelers on airplanes.

00:39:08.000 Uh, that is so great because that's one of the last places where you just, you have

00:39:13.460 to wear it and you have to wear it the whole time and you have to wear it correctly.

00:39:16.640 And if you make any bones about it, you know, you can be arrested, literally arrested once

00:39:23.020 you land, uh, thrown off the plane.

00:39:25.760 If you're, you know, uh, on the runway, they'll drive you, they'll, they'll go right back to

00:39:31.000 the gate and drop you off.

00:39:32.140 Have you traveled in the middle of this yet?

00:39:34.080 Fortunately, no.

00:39:34.960 Oh, okay.

00:39:35.660 Cause I had a few times.

00:39:36.800 I don't know if I could keep it on the whole time.

00:39:39.240 Yeah.

00:39:39.660 You know, I'm, you know, as much as I think as a policy, I don't like the idea of a mask

00:39:43.920 mandate.

00:39:44.260 It doesn't, it doesn't bother me that much to deal with a couple of hours with it.

00:39:48.500 Oh man, I go out of my skin.

00:39:50.300 Yeah.

00:39:50.600 Some people really do.

00:39:51.500 I, a lot of people have real problems with it.

00:39:53.500 I'm a little claustrophobic.

00:39:54.140 Yeah.

00:39:54.280 And so that extra heat right here on my mouth, the nose, it just traditionally, Pat, when

00:39:59.940 we've done the show together, you oftentimes have done it without your shoes.

00:40:03.280 Yes.

00:40:03.720 That's a big Pat gray thing that people might not know from behind the scenes.

00:40:07.060 Right.

00:40:07.520 And that like, you really do kind of have a claustrophobic sort of thing that's gone

00:40:11.360 on for as long as I've known you.

00:40:12.840 Yeah.

00:40:13.020 Uh, you know, I look, the, the best thing is it doesn't seem to really have a point on

00:40:20.060 these planes.

00:40:20.880 I mean, like what, what we've learned from the very beginning of this is that airplanes

00:40:24.200 have one of the best filter filtration systems you're going to be able to find anywhere.

00:40:28.760 Yeah.

00:40:28.880 So it's almost like being outdoors and I think they found that generally you're not getting

00:40:34.300 it from a plane.

00:40:35.060 No, no outdoors, you know, and, and planes, I can understand why people would think that

00:40:41.220 for example, we've seen real issues on cruises.

00:40:44.080 I mean, that really has been a place where it's spread.

00:40:46.620 That has not been true with planes largely.

00:40:49.660 Uh, and especially in a, in a situation where you have a country that's, you know, especially

00:40:53.200 with the most vulnerable, almost entirely vaccinated, uh, you just, you just don't, you know, like

00:40:59.440 this is just, it's just the part of the equation that Biden can actually control.

00:41:04.260 He has no power to tell you in Texas, you have to wear a mask.

00:41:07.700 He does have the power to tell you on airplanes because he, you know, I mean, the, the administration

00:41:13.340 has a lot of power really regulated.

00:41:15.480 It's an F the FAA.

00:41:16.460 So they're able to kind of go through and do this.

00:41:19.280 They're able to do it in federal buildings.

00:41:21.520 They're able to keep it on in, in the places that they control.

00:41:26.180 And so far they've been able to do that, but it does show, I think the strength of our

00:41:30.720 structure here in this country.

00:41:31.880 You know, this constitution limits our government, even in these times, you know, we all have

00:41:38.620 all complained about what the states have done and, and talents have done, but the federal

00:41:43.600 government, you know, you, you, you mentioned, uh, Anthony Fauci earlier, uh, today.

00:41:49.280 I mean, Anthony Fauci has no power to do anything.

00:41:53.220 Uh, now he's influenced a lot of people who do have power and that's the problem with

00:41:58.660 Fauci, but you know, he doesn't have power to do much of anything.

00:42:03.040 He, he, you know, Anthony Fauci can't make you wear a mask on anywhere other than federal

00:42:08.260 property.

00:42:08.660 And even then he doesn't actually have the power to implement that.

00:42:11.640 It's got to be done through the administration.

00:42:13.080 True.

00:42:13.300 He's not an elected official.

00:42:15.140 He's not been elected to any position.

00:42:17.340 Still, he has kind of a position of influence for sure.

00:42:20.580 And he tries to use that a lot.

00:42:22.720 So much.

00:42:23.860 Here's what he just said, um, about, about Vax vaccination.

00:42:28.600 Uh, this is not complicated.

00:42:30.660 We're not asking anybody to make any political statement one way or another.

00:42:35.060 We're saying, try and save your life and that of your family and that of the community.

00:42:40.740 It's, you know, we have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that I deal with

00:42:45.920 that don't have solutions.

00:42:47.800 It's very frustrating.

00:42:49.080 You don't have a treatment or you don't have a vaccine.

00:42:52.720 Here we have a vaccine that's highly, highly effective in preventing disease.

00:42:58.540 And certainly in preventing severe disease and hospitalization, it's easy to get.

00:43:04.320 It's free and it's readily available.

00:43:07.020 So, you know, you've got to ask, what is the problem?

00:43:11.340 Get over it.

00:43:12.400 Get over this political statement.

00:43:14.300 Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family.

00:43:19.160 Are they intentionally trying to get people to not take the vaccine?

00:43:22.160 That's the thing.

00:43:23.160 Are they? 1.00

00:43:23.840 What an arrogant sack of crap. 1.00

00:43:25.860 Get over it. 1.00

00:43:29.280 What do you just go out and get the vaccine and save your family over there?

00:43:34.900 What are you talking about?

00:43:36.200 Just get over it.

00:43:37.460 That's about the worst thing you can say to people like me who have been hesitant.

00:43:42.040 And it's not because it's a political thing.

00:43:44.680 It's not about politics to me.

00:43:46.460 It's, you know, I just haven't decided whether I want it or not.

00:43:51.220 I, you know, I'm trying to do what's best for my body.

00:43:55.060 And do I, do I take the chance or, or, or do I not?

00:43:59.380 And every time, like you, you presented me with a pretty good case the other day, some

00:44:05.140 facts and figures and stats.

00:44:06.620 And I thought, man, maybe, and then along comes this and I don't want to anymore.

00:44:15.540 I really, and I mean, there is no reason for Anthony Fauci to be on television.

00:44:22.040 And no reason, there's no reason for it.

00:44:23.640 He's convinced every liberal that is on this, you know, train going on Chris Hayes.

00:44:30.540 What is that doing?

00:44:31.880 Right.

00:44:32.100 It's certainly not helping the situation of public health.

00:44:35.120 If what Anthony Fauci cares about is actually getting people vaccinated, there's no way

00:44:40.680 this could possibly help.

00:44:42.620 That's about as bad as you could be.

00:44:44.660 As bad as you could be. 1.00

00:44:45.920 Um, you know, acting like we're, uh, I don't know, morons. 1.00

00:44:50.420 We're idiots. 1.00

00:44:51.840 And we're just doing something for politics. 1.00

00:44:54.020 And he tells us to get over it.

00:44:56.500 That's, that's probably one of the worst things you could say.

00:44:59.780 Let me give you a, do you, do we have like three, three or four minutes here?

00:45:02.480 Let me give you three or four minutes from another representative who's a big fan of the vaccine

00:45:07.920 and see if this is any more persuasive than, uh, what Anthony Fauci gave you.

00:45:14.500 This is, uh, the montage of, uh, of, uh, of our former president talking about the vaccinations.

00:45:22.040 Okay.

00:45:23.320 I was told it was ready, but apparently it was not.

00:45:25.700 Okay.

00:45:26.180 Well, there you go.

00:45:26.700 So was that convincing to you?

00:45:28.500 How about that?

00:45:29.320 Was that convincing to you?

00:45:30.480 That was powerful.

00:45:31.960 Uh, so you've got, you've got Trump talking about it, um, somewhere.

00:45:37.140 And I'm guessing he said good things about the vaccine.

00:45:39.920 He has been a consistent cheerleader for this vaccine since the very beginning.

00:45:47.140 And, and who are you going to listen to?

00:45:48.680 Are you going to listen to Trump or are you going to listen to Fauci?

00:45:50.760 Now, look, you know, you can make the argument.

00:45:52.960 I mean, like we, we've, we saw there is a political component to this, right?

00:45:58.440 And it's blatantly clear in that during the election, Kamala Harris was warning liberals

00:46:03.920 not to take it because God forbid Donald Trump was, was mixing chemicals.

00:46:08.080 And they weren't going to trust it.

00:46:10.060 Uh, and yeah, and they weren't, they didn't want to trust it.

00:46:12.120 Yeah.

00:46:12.240 They didn't want to trust it.

00:46:13.440 They didn't want to believe it.

00:46:15.360 Um, and they basically had, uh, warnings going to the left saying, don't do it because

00:46:23.680 Donald Trump's involved.

00:46:24.720 Right.

00:46:25.060 And then, you know, this, if Donald Trump was in the white house right now, this situation

00:46:30.120 would be exactly reversed.

00:46:31.820 There would be a lot of people on the left saying they didn't want to take it.

00:46:34.760 And I think a lot of people on the right who right now are maybe more hesitant.

00:46:38.500 Um, would not be getting these annoying messages from the government and they would be on the

00:46:43.380 other side of it.

00:46:44.060 I think there is a, there is a component. 0.90

00:46:45.860 It's dumb to deny that culture plays a role here.

00:46:48.960 It does.

00:46:49.960 Uh, but again, you have, when you acknowledge that the last thing you do is have Jen Psaki 0.56

00:46:55.500 come out and say, she's coming to your home and that Becerra is coming to your home and 1.00

00:46:59.800 that Fauci is insulting you.

00:47:01.720 It's just, none of this makes any sense.

00:47:03.520 Listen to the president talk about the vaccine.

00:47:05.820 And by the way, this is all very recent.

00:47:07.720 This isn't like from March, 2020.

00:47:10.400 This is all Donald Trump talking very recently about the vaccine.

00:47:13.700 Listen.

00:47:13.800 When the China virus invaded our shores, I promised that we would produce a vaccine in 1.00

00:47:19.000 record time before the end of the year.

00:47:21.240 They said it couldn't be done.

00:47:23.100 But with today's announcement, we have now achieved that goal.

00:47:26.580 The United States is the first nation in the world to produce a verifiably safe and effective

00:47:32.220 vaccine.

00:47:33.540 Today's achievement is a reminder of America's unlimited potential when we have the will and

00:47:39.680 the courage to pursue ambitious goals.

00:47:42.900 As I've said from the beginning, a vaccine will vanquish the virus and return life back

00:47:48.080 to normal.

00:47:49.120 The pandemic may have begun in China, but we are ending it right here in America. 0.96

00:47:54.760 Never let them forget this was us.

00:47:57.880 We did this.

00:47:58.840 And the distribution is moving along according to our plan.

00:48:03.000 And it's moving along really well.

00:48:07.880 We had the military, what they've done, our generals and all of the people, what they've

00:48:13.160 done is incredible.

00:48:14.980 But remember, you know, we took care of a lot of people, including, I guess, on December

00:48:19.880 21st, we took care of Joe Biden because he got his shot.

00:48:23.120 He got his vaccine.

00:48:23.920 He forgot.

00:48:25.300 Now, I know you said, and I completely agree with you, that it's the right of every American

00:48:29.440 to decide if they want to be vaccinated or not.

00:48:33.180 But do you think we should require health care workers who are exposed to patients to be

00:48:37.940 vaccinated?

00:48:39.460 Well, I think we should certainly try and convince them.

00:48:42.020 Look, I'm a big fan of the vaccine.

00:48:44.780 I was the one that got it done in record time, less than nine months.

00:48:47.960 Everyone said it would take three years, five years.

00:48:49.880 And it's why people are getting better now.

00:48:52.560 We not only did that, we also ordered billions of dollars worth of it before we even knew

00:48:58.100 if it worked.

00:48:58.720 And that was one of the best bets ever made because they wouldn't have their vaccinations

00:49:02.300 yet.

00:49:02.880 But I think having having workers at least convincing them to try and do it, because, you know, I

00:49:10.560 believe in the freedom.

00:49:11.260 I believe in all of that.

00:49:12.340 But the vaccine really has been unbelievably effective.

00:49:15.540 And it's saving this country.

00:49:17.540 It's saving the world.

00:49:19.520 So, yeah.

00:49:20.380 I mean, it's something that hopefully you could convince people to do it.

00:49:24.120 Keeping always freedom in mind, but convince people to do it.

00:49:28.120 Nobody did as good a job with the pandemic as we did.

00:49:31.460 And that's why we're leading the world in terms of coming back.

00:49:34.820 And that was all set long before Biden came in, including the fact that we came up with

00:49:39.480 vaccines in less than nine months when a lot of people, everybody said it was going to

00:49:44.020 take three to five years and you probably wouldn't be successful.

00:49:47.060 And if we weren't successful, Sean, I'll tell you this.

00:49:49.540 You would have another 1917 tragedy where almost 100 million people died, but we were

00:49:57.760 successful.

00:49:58.440 So it was a great thing because of what we did and because I came up with the vaccine

00:50:02.800 in nine months instead of I did it in less than nine months.

00:50:06.220 It was supposed to be, Buck, you know this.

00:50:08.920 It was supposed to be five years, three years, but it'll never happen.

00:50:12.360 By that time, everybody would have been dead.

00:50:14.740 This would have been if I didn't do that.

00:50:16.380 This would have been another Spanish flu of 1917, where perhaps 100 million people died.

00:50:23.340 The FDA does not like Donald Trump.

00:50:25.380 Let me put it that way.

00:50:26.220 They they have never seen anything like it.

00:50:28.940 They would have they would have taken more than much more than three years.

00:50:32.360 And I don't think they would have even ever gotten it.

00:50:35.220 But we did things that were miraculous.

00:50:37.560 People call it a miracle, actually.

00:50:39.760 And then, you know, I went out and did something else that people don't talk about.

00:50:43.020 I bought twelve billion dollars worth of the vaccine before we knew it worked.

00:50:47.760 We had an idea it worked.

00:50:48.900 But before and you wouldn't have the shots till October of this year.

00:50:54.660 So Operation Warp Speed, President Trump was was an amazing miracle.

00:50:58.680 And you deserve tremendous credit for that.

00:51:00.700 A lot of our people don't want to take vaccine.

00:51:03.720 You know, I don't know what that is exactly.

00:51:05.460 Republican.

00:51:06.200 I don't know what it is.

00:51:07.100 You encourage people to get it.

00:51:08.320 I encourage them to take it.

00:51:09.480 I do.

00:51:10.040 But they want me to make it.

00:51:11.000 Did you get it?

00:51:11.580 Yes, I did.

00:51:12.720 I had it and I took it.

00:51:14.600 OK, you got both.

00:51:15.560 Because I believe.

00:51:16.940 Yeah.

00:51:18.660 Better than Fauci?

00:51:20.400 Yeah.

00:51:21.320 Much better than Fauci.

00:51:22.520 A much better pitch than Anthony Fauci.

00:51:24.380 And he talks about, you know, we got to we have to maintain people's freedom.

00:51:29.240 Yeah.

00:51:29.500 And liberty to choose.

00:51:31.240 But we should try to convince them to take it.

00:51:33.360 Yeah.

00:51:33.880 And again, you know, I mean, you can do this is Donald Trump here.

00:51:36.820 This is not some crazy left wing.

00:51:39.240 It's not Jen Psaki.

00:51:40.280 It's not Becerra.

00:51:41.060 It's none of the this is Donald Trump telling you, you know, that this is and and quoting

00:51:46.400 correctly, many people who call it a miracle.

00:51:48.480 Yeah, that really was.

00:51:49.860 And he deserves freaking credit for it.

00:51:51.840 And Biden's trying to steal it. 0.85

00:51:53.660 Yeah.

00:51:53.780 He is trying to steal credit for ending this pandemic.

00:51:56.700 Again, pissing me off.

00:51:57.800 It's hampered the effort for some people, because they have forgotten, I think, to a certain

00:52:04.800 extent that it was Donald Trump behind it.

00:52:07.900 Yeah.

00:52:08.220 And so a lot of people don't trust it because of the Biden administration.

00:52:12.320 And look, again, as as the president was very clear on.

00:52:16.280 Yes, it has to be your choice.

00:52:17.940 It should be your choice.

00:52:18.840 Mm hmm.

00:52:19.260 But, you know, he, you know, he's very that is not a person who's equivocating there.

00:52:24.940 He's not like, oh, well, it might work.

00:52:26.200 It might not.

00:52:26.700 I mean, he's talking about this as his legacy.

00:52:29.580 And I believe correctly identifying the fact that the left is trying to steal the greatest

00:52:36.620 achievement, as they called it in The Washington Post, the greatest human health achievement

00:52:42.600 in public history or something like that in world history, in world history.

00:52:46.720 Yeah.

00:52:47.240 And Biden's like, you know what?

00:52:48.500 That's mine.

00:52:49.940 And instead, and again, if they actually wanted people to be vaccinated and didn't

00:52:56.680 just want this talking point, they get him out in front, they get him out in front and

00:53:00.580 give him credit.

00:53:01.560 Biden would be out there saying, you know what?

00:53:03.860 This none of this would have happened if the president didn't take the actions.

00:53:07.320 The former president took the actions that he did.

00:53:09.300 And while we'll disagree on almost everything else, they don't care.

00:53:12.820 We have to give Donald Trump credit for what he did in that very difficult period.

00:53:17.680 That's type of thing will go a long way to actually make this into the nonpartisan issue

00:53:23.520 Fauci says he's talking about.

00:53:25.180 Instead, they're on TV yelling at everybody.

00:53:27.480 Right.

00:53:28.160 It shows you who they are, that they won't do that.

00:53:31.880 You know they won't.

00:53:32.520 They won't ever give him the credit because that's just beyond them.

00:53:36.000 888-727-BECK.

00:53:41.880 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's back on Monday, by the way.

00:53:45.780 You know, it's really telling that the Biden administration would never, would never, ever.

00:53:54.400 And even the Washington Post said that they should give him credit.

00:53:59.640 If they really want the numbers to increase percentage-wise in this country, where they want 70%, 80%, 85% of this country to be vaccinated,

00:54:11.260 the only way to do that now is to bring out Donald Trump, to give him credit, and to make sure that he talks to the people who voted for him.

00:54:19.820 Because they claim that that's who's being resistant.

00:54:24.920 Now, I'm being resistant, but it's really not because of Trump or not because of Trump.

00:54:28.740 No.

00:54:29.060 It's just because I haven't decided yet.

00:54:30.640 Yeah.

00:54:30.780 And it's not because I'm anti-vax or pro-vax.

00:54:33.800 I just haven't decided yet.

00:54:36.200 And, you know, at one point I'll make that decision, and I don't care who developed the vaccine.

00:54:43.400 It's just that if I decide it's better for me to get the vaccine than not have it, then I'll do it.

00:54:51.480 Yeah.

00:54:51.840 They try to frame this as this big partisan divide issue, and really, it really shouldn't be.

00:54:57.700 It shouldn't be.

00:54:58.100 You know, we have tons of...

00:54:59.200 But it is.

00:55:00.100 It is.

00:55:00.640 It's become more cultural.

00:55:02.680 I think it's important.

00:55:03.440 Look, and I know you're not doing this, and I don't think a lot of people in the audience are doing it.

00:55:07.200 This sort of stuff with Fauci going on TV, talking about it, is it what's making your decision?

00:55:12.220 Because then Fauci's making your decision for you, right?

00:55:14.400 Yeah.

00:55:15.100 It's just an annoying, irritant on top of all of this.

00:55:17.580 It just pisses you off to the point where you don't want to.

00:55:19.900 Yeah.

00:55:20.220 Yeah.

00:55:20.380 Yeah.

00:55:20.580 Yeah.

00:55:21.040 It's true.

00:55:22.080 And that's not, you know, that is not...

00:55:24.240 Again, if this is your aim, if we assume the aim of this administration is to get the most people

00:55:29.820 vaccinated as possible...

00:55:31.400 Then give him credit and get him out there.

00:55:33.160 And you know what?

00:55:33.840 It would be a moment of honesty, too.

00:55:37.900 Yeah.

00:55:38.160 You know, you don't have to lie.

00:55:40.100 You don't have to say, you know what?

00:55:41.200 We are...

00:55:42.040 Donald Trump, it's all him.

00:55:43.460 He did it.

00:55:44.020 We don't actually believe that, but he did it.

00:55:45.860 He actually did do it.

00:55:47.260 It's his operation.

00:55:48.800 He led it.

00:55:49.540 He talked about it.

00:55:50.600 There's all sorts of reporting from behind the scenes that he was pushing as hard as

00:55:55.000 he could to get through all of the bureaucratic nonsense.

00:55:57.480 And we all know that's true.

00:55:58.400 Right?

00:55:58.820 It's all true.

00:55:59.940 He said it publicly at the time.

00:56:01.520 He said it every day since.

00:56:03.120 Most of the interviews that we play with Donald Trump here were from June and May of this year.

00:56:09.260 Right?

00:56:09.500 Like, he has been consistent throughout this entire process.

00:56:12.820 Yeah.

00:56:13.120 And he wants credit for it. 0.99

00:56:15.340 And damn it, he deserves credit for it. 0.99

00:56:16.460 Yes, he does. 0.99

00:56:17.640 Put him out there, then.

00:56:18.660 If you want people to take the vaccine, but they don't.

00:56:21.800 Because their politics, their agenda, their ego is more important to them than the American

00:56:27.960 people.

00:56:28.800 That's a fact.

00:56:31.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:36.020 That great.

00:56:36.720 Stuper gear for Glenn, who returns on Monday morning.

00:56:41.580 888-727-BECK.

00:56:44.060 Let's go to Brett in Texas.

00:56:47.360 Hey, Brett.

00:56:48.660 You're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.

00:56:51.440 Hey, happy Friday from the great Republic of Texas.

00:56:54.820 You too.

00:56:55.480 You too.

00:56:57.180 And a comment and then a tip.

00:57:00.480 My wife and I just returned from Costa Rica.

00:57:04.120 And 72 hours prior, we had to have a COVID test.

00:57:08.180 And during the flight, we all had to wear masks, even though everybody on that flight had to

00:57:15.160 had to be tested previously.

00:57:17.400 Oh, right.

00:57:18.060 So you knew that nobody on the flight had COVID-19, yet everyone had to wear a mask the whole time.

00:57:25.960 Exactly.

00:57:26.480 That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

00:57:29.540 Exactly.

00:57:30.140 And here's the traveler's tip.

00:57:31.660 So waiting, because they make exceptions, you can have your mask off while you're eating

00:57:37.640 or while you're drinking.

00:57:39.240 And so bought two bags of combos, the pretzels with all the cheese in it, because each bag has

00:57:46.300 like 900 of them in there and just low eight them.

00:57:50.560 And the flight attendant came up to me several times.

00:57:55.180 Are you done, sir?

00:57:56.620 And I finally looked at him and said, not a prayer, my man, not a prayer.

00:58:02.380 And finally, when we were descending into DFW, it's like, well, I think I'm done.

00:58:06.780 And so I wore my mask for probably 15 minutes, the entire flight.

00:58:10.980 Yeah.

00:58:12.000 We've been, when that was going on, because we had COVID.

00:58:16.980 And after that, like you have immunity, obviously, you know, and so we would just a lot of times

00:58:22.280 just walk around with a drink.

00:58:23.620 Like, you know, like you have the drink kind of open, holding it a few inches away from

00:58:27.860 your face.

00:58:28.280 And if someone comes over and looks at you like, are you going to put that mask on?

00:58:30.620 Then you just got to just take a sip.

00:58:32.100 I mean, it's really is. 0.84

00:58:33.040 We all understand it's silly. 0.98

00:58:34.620 I mean, it's obviously ridiculous. 0.92

00:58:37.120 I will say since Biden got into office on planes, it is worse, considerably worse.

00:58:43.840 When I flew, I flew back in, jeez, I guess it was last summer, 2020 summer.

00:58:51.300 And they, they, you, you were supposed to wear a mask the whole time.

00:58:56.560 They were not nearly as crazy about it.

00:58:59.780 Now they've added layers and layers of announcements at the beginning.

00:59:02.860 The last flight I was on the, when they were announcing the mask policy, they actually said

00:59:08.460 when you're eating, it's mask off, bite, mask back on, chew.

00:59:13.220 Right.

00:59:13.500 That's what I, that's what I thought they had come up with.

00:59:16.120 And they, did they enforce that?

00:59:19.580 Yeah, more than normal.

00:59:21.100 I mean, it's, it's definitely, it's definitely taken a massive turn since Biden got into office

00:59:27.500 specifically.

00:59:28.460 He implemented all these, these additional threats and penalties and policies.

00:59:34.200 And so, you know, look, these airlines have no choice but to enforce them.

00:59:38.560 It's not, you know, it's not their policy per se.

00:59:40.820 They, they may also still want to do it, but they, they have to enforce these policies.

00:59:45.340 Now you can tell it's, it's one of those things you could tell they've read it 500 times and

00:59:48.580 they say it the same way every time, you know?

00:59:50.980 So, and they, but they're very specific about when you're eating, you can't do what I was

00:59:55.260 just talking about.

00:59:55.980 They don't want, they don't want you to do the guys, the collars combos trick right now.

00:59:59.300 They want you to take a bite and chew with the mask on.

01:00:02.280 And it's like, our insanity, it's all insanity at this point, especially when you have a

01:00:07.900 country, again, that is 89% vaccinated among 65 plus.

01:00:15.240 Yeah.

01:00:15.420 This is not a borderline, like, you know, look, you go to India where they're at like,

01:00:20.520 you know, 12% vaccination.

01:00:22.440 Maybe you have more of a case for this, but you don't know, it doesn't make any sense.

01:00:26.520 They're just doing it because they can.

01:00:28.360 Have you been to a movie theater in the last?

01:00:32.460 Oh yeah.

01:00:32.960 Many times.

01:00:33.700 Have you really?

01:00:34.200 Yeah.

01:00:34.600 You've gone to movies that have come to the theater then?

01:00:37.240 Well, first of all, Pat, you should remember our heroic effort where we were basically the

01:00:42.820 first people in the United States to go back to the theaters.

01:00:45.440 This was like a year ago, right?

01:00:47.000 It was, I think it was May 2020.

01:00:49.400 More than a year ago.

01:00:50.140 You don't remember this?

01:00:51.220 Sarah has, doesn't, doesn't care about us or the show.

01:00:53.780 So she doesn't have any recollection of this, but it was a big thing.

01:00:56.360 We did it.

01:00:56.820 We went after the show.

01:00:58.200 We did the show together again.

01:00:59.280 It was a day Glenn was out and we went to a local theater, which was the first theater

01:01:03.800 in Texas to reopen.

01:01:06.000 And it was in, I think it was May 2020 and they were opened at 25% capacity.

01:01:13.020 I will tell you this.

01:01:14.420 They were not at 25% capacity.

01:01:16.740 They were at me and Pat capacity.

01:01:19.100 That was it.

01:01:20.300 It was literally just us.

01:01:21.800 That was it.

01:01:22.140 It was us in the theaters with two employees.

01:01:24.620 I'll never forget this because it's, it's, and, and, and there's one employee behind in

01:01:29.360 the concession stand and the guy who owned the theater and that was it.

01:01:33.320 No other customers.

01:01:34.700 I mean, actually there was one or two other customers, wasn't there?

01:01:37.080 I think in other movies.

01:01:38.300 Yeah.

01:01:38.540 In other movies.

01:01:39.100 We were the only two people in this particular movie, which was a Vin Diesel.

01:01:44.040 A Vin Diesel vehicle.

01:01:45.960 Yeah.

01:01:46.520 Uh, and it was one of the worst, single worst movies I've ever seen in my life.

01:01:50.300 I barely remember any of it.

01:01:52.020 It was something about.

01:01:52.900 It was so forgettable.

01:01:54.060 Yeah.

01:01:54.400 He was, I don't.

01:01:57.100 Something about, something about in his blood, there was, uh, some like nanobots that made

01:02:03.220 him into like, almost like a superhero or something.

01:02:05.780 I, yeah, no, it was really bad.

01:02:07.980 He could die and be brought back or something through the nanobots.

01:02:12.020 Yeah.

01:02:12.560 I think.

01:02:12.860 It was not good.

01:02:13.980 Not good.

01:02:14.340 And it was released, I want to say it's release date was the weekend before they shut the

01:02:20.920 NBA season down.

01:02:22.220 So it was like one of the last movies they released in that, uh, in that situation, um,

01:02:30.580 right before all the theaters closed down.

01:02:32.760 It was, uh, Bloodshot.

01:02:34.020 Bloodshot.

01:02:34.800 Bloodshot.

01:02:35.540 Vin Diesel Bloodshot.

01:02:36.500 So good.

01:02:37.100 And it came out, Pat and I sat in, and we made sure to be social distance where Pat sat

01:02:43.440 in the back left-hand corner of the theater and I sat right under the screen in the front

01:02:47.660 right-hand corner.

01:02:49.900 There's a video of it on, on my YouTube page, uh, youtube.com slash Stu Does America.

01:02:53.760 If you, if you want to watch it, it's, we went with, we, we took you through the whole

01:02:56.840 thing and I will say the movie was not good, but it's interesting to see Vin Diesel being

01:03:00.500 in the movie that arguably relaunched the movie industry.

01:03:05.340 He was in F9, the ninth Fast and Furious movie, which we all needed, by the way.

01:03:12.560 Oh yeah.

01:03:12.880 People were clamoring for it.

01:03:14.720 No, they were apparently.

01:03:15.900 It made a hundred million dollars, uh, or $70 million opening weekend is now up over $120

01:03:22.000 million.

01:03:22.440 In China in the first weekend, I think it made $134 million or something like that.

01:03:29.080 It was huge in China, uh, in its first weekend of release, but where is it now domestically?

01:03:35.600 Did it get over, it's over a hundred million, right?

01:03:38.960 Yeah, it is at $126, $128 million.

01:03:45.200 Isn't bad in this environment?

01:03:47.020 No, in pre-pandemic, that movie is probably going to bring in at this point is probably

01:03:52.720 at $200 million, but it's still a business.

01:03:55.500 Like that's a legit business.

01:03:57.560 Yeah.

01:03:57.820 It's interesting.

01:03:58.420 The Quiet Place was the other one that came out a couple of weeks before that, did $50 million

01:04:01.420 opening weekend, is at $147 million domestically for a horror film.

01:04:07.720 Pretty good.

01:04:08.300 Pretty good.

01:04:09.280 I mean, that's, that's pretty freaking good.

01:04:11.360 Since Barry Diller, uh, Barry Diller has, is a respected guy in the film industry.

01:04:16.520 He's been, uh, chairman and CEO of two Hollywood studios, Paramount and, uh, 20th Century Fox.

01:04:23.060 Uh, he has now declared the movie industry dead.

01:04:28.700 He said the movie business as before is finished and will never come back.

01:04:34.840 That's pretty definitive.

01:04:36.760 Yeah.

01:04:37.160 From a movie mogul.

01:04:38.460 Um, and, uh, he said it does have to do with, uh, the substantial decline in ticket sales

01:04:46.620 and the closure of movie theaters, but he says it's much more than that.

01:04:50.580 And, uh, obviously he believes it's the streaming thing.

01:04:54.440 And because of all these deals that have been made where, uh, the movie is released immediately

01:05:01.320 onto say Amazon or, uh, Disney or wherever they release it, HBO Max, that's going to kill

01:05:10.320 the movie theaters.

01:05:12.840 Now, would you, you would continue to go to, do you like it in the movie theater?

01:05:20.140 Are you okay with it being just at home?

01:05:22.920 I love the movies.

01:05:24.040 I love going to them.

01:05:25.540 I particularly love the dine in movie theater revolution.

01:05:30.320 Oh yeah.

01:05:31.400 That's a good thing.

01:05:32.820 It's not everywhere really, but it is, it's popped up in most places now.

01:05:36.360 And, you know, Texas, there's about five dine in theaters within a 10 mile radius here.

01:05:40.660 And I do.

01:05:41.700 And they're really nice.

01:05:42.460 And they're good.

01:05:43.080 The food is good.

01:05:43.720 You can essentially lay down in a, in a lazy boy recliner and they, you have a tray in

01:05:48.580 front of you and you can fill it with food.

01:05:50.820 Yeah.

01:05:51.180 It's like, you're never going to fun.

01:05:53.140 Look, you could eat at home, but restaurants are fun, right?

01:05:56.040 Like I like going to restaurants and this is now restaurant plus movie at the same time.

01:06:00.320 I mean, it's fantastic.

01:06:01.620 Yeah.

01:06:01.740 It's a good innovation.

01:06:03.140 Yeah.

01:06:03.260 It really is.

01:06:03.800 So I think, I think there's a place for them.

01:06:05.340 I think there is an argument to be made that theaters will decrease in, you know, you're

01:06:11.640 going to wind up not having 5,000 theaters to release movies in anymore, you know, but

01:06:16.140 I will say that there's a place around here nearby where we work in Texas that had a,

01:06:21.480 a movie theater in this sort of local shopping district that closed down during COVID.

01:06:27.520 And I remember thinking like, this is, what are they going to do with the space?

01:06:32.280 I mean, it's not like movie theater companies are like, Oh, we need to open up new establishments

01:06:36.360 right now.

01:06:36.840 Like, how are they going to fill this thing?

01:06:38.580 And they just announced that they are going to be filling it with no longer just a movie

01:06:44.100 theater, but partially a dine-in movie theater plus bowling alleys and other various entertainment,

01:06:51.240 you know, sort of entertainment complex type of thing, which is probably where this stuff

01:06:55.100 goes.

01:06:55.380 Like maybe movies are just part of it and it's no longer you have 40 movies at a, at a

01:06:59.520 multiplex.

01:07:00.240 It's just changing a little bit, but that's okay.

01:07:02.760 You know, it's going to be probably more of a niche activity, but if people are still

01:07:06.860 watching the movies, you can still make cash off of this.

01:07:09.840 And if people will pay 20 bucks, they're paying 20 bucks for at home to watch these movies

01:07:15.380 when they get released, you know, people, everybody's got a streaming subscription.

01:07:19.720 It seems like, and I will say all these are multiple.

01:07:22.760 Yeah.

01:07:23.000 Oh my God.

01:07:23.660 I was looking at how many I have and it's, it's disgusting.

01:07:26.080 It's, it's, I'm actually revolted by how many I have.

01:07:28.420 And of course the most important one, blaze tv.com slash Glenn promo code Glenn save 10 bucks.

01:07:34.320 Yeah.

01:07:34.880 That's number one.

01:07:35.660 And I'll never cancel that, but you know, Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus, HBO max.

01:07:42.800 Yes.

01:07:43.160 Do you have Paramount plus?

01:07:44.140 I don't think I have Paramount plus, although I just got an offer from my little credit card that

01:07:48.240 said they're going to pay for a year of Peacock Network, the new NBC one.

01:07:55.300 I have that.

01:07:55.880 I don't have that one yet, but I will be getting it.

01:07:58.080 And then of course, after the year expires, I will forget that I have it.

01:08:02.620 And you'll keep paying for it.

01:08:03.620 And I'll keep paying for it forever.

01:08:04.600 Yep.

01:08:04.920 So these things, you know, people are going to wind up doing that at some, there's obviously

01:08:09.640 a business there, Pat, right?

01:08:11.340 Yeah.

01:08:11.680 Yeah.

01:08:11.920 There's a business there.

01:08:13.500 Yeah.

01:08:14.120 I think so.

01:08:15.060 And I think you're right.

01:08:16.180 It's just going to be different.

01:08:17.280 It's going to change.

01:08:18.240 And it's kind of sad because everything has changed.

01:08:21.940 You know, we've, we've gone through a ton of change culturally over the last just five

01:08:28.400 years.

01:08:28.680 But think about the last 10 years or 15 years where you used to go to, you know, you used

01:08:34.960 to go to Hollywood video or blockbuster video and you used to get the videos and take them

01:08:41.580 home.

01:08:41.940 And it was like, you brought down a deer, like a 15 point buck.

01:08:45.520 And you're like, look what I, I look, I got princess pride.

01:08:50.040 Yeah.

01:08:50.120 We've seen that 38 times.

01:08:52.000 Take it back.

01:08:53.300 But it was a big deal.

01:08:55.680 And then it's gone, completely gone.

01:08:58.280 Um, you know, uh, the way we listened to music has completely changed over the last few

01:09:03.840 years.

01:09:04.200 And now this, now we're going through this transition too.

01:09:07.340 So it's going to take some getting used to.

01:09:09.680 And Pat, before we leave this topic, I must tell you about bloodshot and it's box office

01:09:15.320 revenues.

01:09:15.880 Okay.

01:09:16.420 So it's first week of release.

01:09:18.660 I think I think about this for a release date, March 13th, 2020.

01:09:23.040 My gosh.

01:09:23.820 Wasn't that the very day?

01:09:25.060 So the 11th was the day the NBA season shutdown.

01:09:28.980 Uh huh.

01:09:29.320 You remember that night where like all the people in Oklahoma city were at the game and

01:09:32.580 they canceled and everyone had to leave.

01:09:33.960 Yep.

01:09:34.720 Then, uh, March 15th or 16th.

01:09:37.940 I can't remember.

01:09:38.500 Was the big, was Donald Trump talking about 15 days to slow the spread.

01:09:41.980 Right.

01:09:42.480 So it directly, by the way, two events, you know, directly in between those two events

01:09:47.880 was the release of bloodshot starring, uh, Vin Diesel.

01:09:51.100 It's first weekend.

01:09:52.520 It, uh, it opened with $10 million, uh, which is still pretty impressive.

01:09:58.480 If you think about that time period, it finished in second place.

01:10:01.740 Uh, the next weekend it came in with $0.

01:10:04.840 My gosh.

01:10:05.840 So just a hundred percent, uh, drop off.

01:10:09.500 In fact, where'd it wind up?

01:10:10.600 Uh, right around there.

01:10:12.540 Well, I guess our dollars came in eventually, Pat.

01:10:14.600 Our two purchases.

01:10:15.720 Okay.

01:10:15.900 So it was $10 million and $16.

01:10:18.140 $16.

01:10:20.040 888-727-PEC.

01:10:24.280 All right.

01:10:24.860 Let's talk about LifeLock.

01:10:27.460 Why?

01:10:28.000 You need to protect yourself.

01:10:29.180 It's been a year like, as we've been talking about, none of us have ever experienced.

01:10:33.240 It's time to turn things around.

01:10:34.740 You might be traveling.

01:10:35.580 You might be giving out your information online more than normal.

01:10:38.920 And of course, cyber criminals are still very, very active.

01:10:42.160 It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives every single day.

01:10:47.000 We put that information on the internet.

01:10:48.860 You've seen all the leaks that have happened.

01:10:50.580 Your information's out there.

01:10:51.500 If someone wants to target you, you're going to be targeted.

01:10:54.300 So you better protect yourself with LifeLock.

01:11:32.780 May 29th, 2020.

01:11:34.460 I'm actually looking at the YouTube video.

01:11:36.280 It's at youtube.com slash studosamerica if you want to check it out.

01:11:39.700 Maybe I'll tweet it as well, at studosamerica.

01:11:41.700 But here's what it says.

01:11:42.880 Stubergear and Pat Gray prepare to risk their lives to see a movie.

01:11:47.580 Stubergear.

01:11:48.180 I love these descriptions.

01:11:49.580 Stubergear and Pat Gray embark on the most dangerous mission in Texas history.

01:11:52.540 You won't believe the odds that are defied as these two titans of industry face down

01:11:57.440 almost certain death to break the ultimate taboo going to support the movie industry at

01:12:02.980 a movie theater on May 29th, 2020.

01:12:05.900 Yeah.

01:12:06.240 Which, by the way, as you pointed out, Pat.

01:12:07.940 I'll tell you something.

01:12:08.460 Not all heroes wear capes.

01:12:11.620 That's a great point.

01:12:12.780 Thank you.

01:12:13.340 We did wear capes.

01:12:15.120 No.

01:12:15.420 During this adventure.

01:12:16.500 We did not.

01:12:16.700 Though we did.

01:12:17.380 We didn't wear masks either.

01:12:19.740 No.

01:12:20.300 It seems like they weren't doing it.

01:12:21.660 Yeah, I think that was pre...

01:12:23.040 That was, like, back when Fauci was still saying, don't wear them.

01:12:26.180 Yeah.

01:12:26.920 They're not necessary.

01:12:28.200 Yeah, yeah.

01:12:29.480 I think...

01:12:30.240 I feel like I remember we had to bring...

01:12:33.180 Like, I don't think they made us wear them.

01:12:35.060 I'm kind of looking at the footage and glancing through it here.

01:12:37.660 And I don't think they actually did wear...

01:12:40.740 We did actually wear them.

01:12:41.820 I don't think we did.

01:12:42.940 I don't think we did.

01:12:43.800 That was a fun...

01:12:44.640 I know for a fact we didn't inside the theater.

01:12:46.740 I will say this.

01:12:47.720 Go looking back at the pandemic era.

01:12:49.960 That is one thing I will never forget.

01:12:51.680 Because it was creepy.

01:12:53.720 Yeah.

01:12:53.860 It was like nobody was in there.

01:12:55.020 It was a ghost town.

01:12:55.920 The parking lot was empty.

01:12:57.040 We got there.

01:12:57.500 They didn't even open on time.

01:12:59.120 Remember?

01:12:59.480 We stood out in the parking lot for, like, a half an hour.

01:13:01.520 Right.

01:13:02.000 Trying to fill time until the movie...

01:13:04.220 They actually opened up the movie.

01:13:05.860 And it was, like, ten minutes before the movie started.

01:13:08.060 Because they knew nobody was coming.

01:13:10.820 I don't know why they even opened.

01:13:11.800 And the guy who started the theater bought the actual theater in January of 2020.

01:13:17.000 Right before.

01:13:18.200 Right before the pandemic.

01:13:19.520 So, geez.

01:13:21.160 Good timing.

01:13:22.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:24.880 So, you know, if you are one of these people who is worried about the things that could happen to you.

01:13:33.080 Like, if you're out in the, you know, if you're African savannah and you're, like, the fattest zebra. 1.00

01:13:38.080 The lions are probably looking hardest at you for dinner, right?

01:13:40.540 That's the way this works.

01:13:41.800 It's kind of how it works, too, if you happen to be the type of person who does everything right here in America.

01:13:46.920 You know, you go through.

01:13:48.320 You work hard.

01:13:49.140 You get some savings.

01:13:50.340 You put it in your home.

01:13:51.500 You try to pay off your debts.

01:13:52.940 If you have a lot of equity in your home, you are the target for the lions in this situation.

01:13:58.380 And you become the tasty, delicious dinner for cyber criminals.

01:14:03.440 If you are one of those people, you are at the top of the victim list for home title fraud.

01:14:09.080 It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

01:14:12.120 And basically, they just forge paperwork that makes it look like you sold your home.

01:14:17.140 Even though you're still living in it, they take advantage.

01:14:19.980 They take out loans against your equity.

01:14:22.460 It's your money.

01:14:23.400 They're taking it.

01:14:24.320 You don't want to have to deal with the legal wranglings to try to unwind this.

01:14:27.420 It's going to cost you thousands of dollars, even if you're somehow successful.

01:14:30.780 Protect your most valuable asset.

01:14:32.560 Register your address to see if you're already a victim of home title fraud.

01:14:35.400 And you're going to get the complete title history of your home, $100 value for free at HomeTitleLock.com.

01:14:40.740 It's HomeTitleLock.com.

01:14:42.840 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:15:09.120 Uncertainty continues to grow in Haiti. 0.73

01:15:19.480 There's some U.S. suspects they're looking at.

01:15:26.080 And so this thing could get kind of ugly for us, I would think.

01:15:31.360 We'll get into that.

01:15:32.840 Tell you what's going on and what's coming up in 60 seconds.

01:15:36.780 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:15:42.380 Buying or selling a home in these times can be very, very, it can be difficult, especially if you're looking at the market.

01:15:49.800 It's been ridiculous lately.

01:15:51.280 I mean, if you are trying to sell a home, it's a great time to do it.

01:15:54.340 But this could be your big moment in your financial life.

01:15:57.920 If you sell your home and you time this right and you make a lot of money, it can do a lot for your financial future.

01:16:05.620 At the same time, you blow it in a moment like this, it can really hurt you in a serious way.

01:16:09.600 And that means if you're a buyer, too, if you're going to look for a home and you overpay for something that maybe is overpriced in this market, who knows?

01:16:15.300 You've got to find a real estate agent you can trust that knows the market, that can do the job, that can help you.

01:16:20.580 You know, I had a real estate transaction recently where I was like, well, I guess we've got to paint this house because, you know, it's not looking great indoors.

01:16:30.900 And our real estate agent said, in this market, you don't need to paint the house.

01:16:34.820 Let them paint the house.

01:16:35.640 They'll paint the house.

01:16:36.500 You don't worry about it.

01:16:37.940 And it sold, you know, day two.

01:16:42.000 It's just one of these situations where the market needs to be understood in full terms by your agent.

01:16:48.660 And you need to have the best agent in your area.

01:16:50.740 Wherever you are, you can find that person at realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:16:55.940 realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

01:16:57.880 The name says it all.

01:17:00.260 realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:17:09.400 You don't have to.

01:17:18.660 888-727-BECK.

01:17:20.600 It is Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:17:23.240 He's back on Monday morning from his vacation.

01:17:27.520 Things are a little iffy right now in Haiti.

01:17:35.180 They're thinking maybe U.S. citizens are involved here.

01:17:38.280 Yeah.

01:17:38.700 Haitian Americans.

01:17:39.660 It really is a crazy story.

01:17:41.240 It is.

01:17:41.580 I mean, you go back to from the beginning, what was it, 1803, Haiti was a former slave

01:17:49.480 state, gets its independence, and has spent the last 200 years really trying to figure

01:17:53.820 out how to do things on their own with lots of international interference over that time

01:17:57.980 period.

01:17:59.280 They, I guess it was in the 2000s, things are starting to turn around a little bit.

01:18:05.580 It's starting to go pretty well.

01:18:06.800 They didn't have as many, they had some actually somewhat normal elections, and then obviously

01:18:12.660 the earthquake occurs, kills 250,000 people.

01:18:17.480 Think about that.

01:18:18.660 On that tiny island, I think it's 11 million people.

01:18:21.660 Gosh, I didn't remember it was that many.

01:18:22.960 Yeah.

01:18:23.680 Wow.

01:18:24.000 And that doesn't count the people in the aftermath, really, where things are continually bad.

01:18:29.560 I mean, it wipes out huge portions of the cities.

01:18:33.820 The infrastructure's gone.

01:18:35.800 Think about that.

01:18:36.840 The worst disaster in U.S. history, the biggest natural disaster loss of life we've ever had

01:18:44.240 was 6,000 people, I think, in the, 6 to 10, they're not sure how many, 6 to 10,000 in

01:18:52.380 the hurricane in Galveston in the early 1900s.

01:18:56.840 And that was the worst disaster we've ever seen.

01:18:59.920 That's 250,000 people in one event?

01:19:06.060 Wow.

01:19:06.580 Yeah, I'm looking at that now, because you've told the story before.

01:19:09.080 And it was before, mainly because of what they did in the aftermath.

01:19:12.640 Yeah, where they rebuilt the city.

01:19:13.880 They lifted the city 17 feet.

01:19:20.160 It's remarkable.

01:19:21.760 I don't know how you would do that now.

01:19:24.320 How would you do it?

01:19:25.040 Could we do that now?

01:19:26.660 I don't know if you could lift Galveston 17 feet higher.

01:19:32.060 But they did.

01:19:33.100 They did back then.

01:19:33.900 It was September 18th, 1900.

01:19:35.580 It was a Category 4 hurricane.

01:19:37.020 But again, they didn't know it was coming.

01:19:38.620 That was a big part of it.

01:19:39.500 There was this before we had advanced satellite technology and everything.

01:19:44.500 145 mile an hour winds killed one in six residents in the city.

01:19:49.040 Jeez.

01:19:50.580 Destroyed 3,600 homes.

01:19:53.600 Yeah.

01:19:53.940 And killed an estimated 12,000 people.

01:19:56.220 Okay, 12.

01:19:57.020 Yeah.

01:19:57.820 But again, that's 1900.

01:20:00.140 Yeah.

01:20:00.400 And it's a hurricane coming out of nowhere, basically.

01:20:02.860 Yeah.

01:20:03.040 This is an earthquake, which obviously does come out of nowhere as well.

01:20:07.820 But in a country with only 11 million people as residents, killed 250,000 people.

01:20:16.760 Jeez.

01:20:18.080 Unthinkable.

01:20:18.740 Yeah.

01:20:19.140 It's hard to imagine.

01:20:19.900 So, obviously, this throws the entire country into chaos.

01:20:24.600 There's power struggles.

01:20:26.560 There's chaotic, you know, crime outbreaks.

01:20:31.140 There's just, you know, the whole, it's not a functioning state in Haiti after this.

01:20:35.580 So, eventually, this guy who was killed the other day gets into power.

01:20:41.420 It's a disputed election.

01:20:43.100 I think 18% of voters come out to vote in it.

01:20:46.520 Very, very small amount.

01:20:48.040 He wins the entire election with 600,000 votes.

01:20:51.600 So, it's a very small amount.

01:20:53.700 It's disputed.

01:20:54.960 They eventually come to some sort of agreement where he's provisionally put in as president,

01:21:00.780 but there's like a provisional alternate per year.

01:21:04.660 And then he, in his mind, he starts his term.

01:21:08.220 Okay.

01:21:08.780 It's a five-year term there.

01:21:10.420 So, he gets through four years and everyone says, okay, see you later.

01:21:13.700 And he's like, no, I have a five-year term.

01:21:15.440 And they said, well, what about that first year?

01:21:17.920 So, there's this disagreement.

01:21:19.260 I mean, think about a country operating this way.

01:21:21.900 There's a disagreement as to whether the president's term is over or not.

01:21:25.580 He says no, shockingly.

01:21:27.800 This tends to be how this happens.

01:21:30.380 People are like, you need to leave.

01:21:32.060 And he says, I'm not leaving.

01:21:33.580 The election, it's not time for the election yet.

01:21:35.900 We have situations where they've hollowed out to the government.

01:21:41.980 So, there's only something like 11 representatives currently serving in the government, nationally

01:21:48.220 elected, because many of them have been thrown out with corruption reasons.

01:21:53.180 And the government was dissolved, but not reformulated at one point.

01:21:58.560 I mean, it's really crazy.

01:22:00.020 Another thing is the president had dismissed multiple Supreme Court justices.

01:22:05.060 And then the chief justice of the Supreme Court died of COVID.

01:22:10.780 So, think about the chaos in this situation.

01:22:14.220 Yeah.

01:22:14.460 And it seems to me the Supreme Court justice was supposed to be the next in line.

01:22:21.020 Is that right?

01:22:21.560 You might be right on that.

01:22:22.280 He's next in line for president.

01:22:24.120 Because now, they're kind of like, the succession plan is like, well, I don't know.

01:22:27.400 Yeah, it's up in the air now, because he died.

01:22:29.560 And there's two people going for it, essentially.

01:22:31.640 Yeah.

01:22:32.400 So, that's all happening after this assassination.

01:22:35.640 And the assassination is, in and of itself, a scary and fascinating story.

01:22:41.020 They're at their house.

01:22:42.120 The house is well guarded with security and as you'd expect the president's home to be in a country in the middle of the situation I just described.

01:22:51.600 And apparently, they think about 50 people roll up in tactical formations.

01:22:59.880 They come in with lines of vehicles and also people on foot.

01:23:06.340 They come into the complex.

01:23:08.460 They announce themselves as DEA agents, U.S. DEA agents.

01:23:12.500 And the way it was described was basically like, the DEA is in Haiti often because they're fighting the drug trade.

01:23:21.160 So, they're very familiar people there and have a decent amount of pull.

01:23:27.160 They come in and they say, we're DEA.

01:23:28.540 Like, people, generally speaking, honor that.

01:23:32.480 And apparently, they came in, said they were DEA.

01:23:34.800 They were not DEA, at least.

01:23:36.880 That's certainly the official story.

01:23:38.880 I mean, I don't think there's any.

01:23:39.920 I don't think there's anybody who really believes the U.S. government was trying to assassinate this guy in this way.

01:23:46.920 But they came in.

01:23:48.280 They said they were DEA.

01:23:49.320 They were speaking English and Spanish.

01:23:51.040 English were able to go past all of the security, get into the home, go up to the room where the president and his wife were sleeping.

01:24:01.780 His daughter and his son were there as well.

01:24:04.880 They hid, thankfully. 0.74

01:24:06.700 They executed the president of Haiti, shot him a bunch of times.

01:24:12.680 I don't know what the total number was.

01:24:13.880 I know one of them was in the eye.

01:24:15.460 I mean, there's rumors, at least in Haitian media, that they tortured the guy before they killed him.

01:24:21.040 They also shot the wife, who is still alive and believe in critical condition, but may make it.

01:24:28.100 Then they left and they walked out of the facility and never had a shot fired by the security of the president.

01:24:38.340 So, you know, it's unclear at this point, you know, their speculation was the security involved.

01:24:44.720 You know, did they know this was going to happen and step aside and allow it to happen?

01:24:48.720 Did they get disarmed by the DEA at the beginning and they were able to kind of walk, walk out of there was, you know, were did they believe that there was an official action and had no idea the president was even killed?

01:25:03.020 We don't even know at this point the truth there.

01:25:06.280 And we probably won't know for some time, but you wonder about how you might say, OK, Haiti, it's this country.

01:25:14.140 It's not even a functioning state.

01:25:15.340 Should I care about the story other than just the normal human cost that, you know, of course, you care about?

01:25:20.620 What's interesting about it is if you think about how this would be framed if it happened, let's say here, right?

01:25:27.620 Like, again, I understand that Haiti and America are much different places, but someone comes in and kills a big leader in our government.

01:25:34.880 And we they announced themselves as Mexican agents and they're saying they're Mexican, you know, drug enforcement.

01:25:44.640 Can you imagine how we react to that as it's as it is?

01:25:49.300 A lot of people will just believe, right?

01:25:50.900 It was the DEA.

01:25:52.260 A lot of people will believe the U.S. was involved.

01:25:54.440 We now at least were the reports are that there were two American citizens involved in the assassination.

01:26:03.840 One of the one they've announced the name was from from Florida, though, of Haitian descent, had interests in Haiti, in Haiti.

01:26:11.180 But an American citizen, how do how do the Haitian people react to this?

01:26:18.460 And do they blame America?

01:26:20.400 And if they do, do we have another Cuba on our hands? 0.99

01:26:22.820 Do we have another island off the coast relatively close to our country that goes completely the opposite way and becomes an anti-American global influence of some sort?

01:26:37.060 There's certainly plenty of countries around the world, China, Russia, among them, that would love to influence them in that way.

01:26:42.060 And you can bet that they are.

01:26:43.240 You can bet that that chaos is being at least attempted to be manipulated by foreign influence at this time to put another strong oppositional force in our hemisphere.

01:26:59.100 And do we still have the Monroe Doctrine where we don't allow that to go on in our hemisphere? 0.78

01:27:05.560 Is that still a thing?

01:27:07.620 Seems like it.

01:27:08.300 I mean, we sort of enforce that and sort of don't.

01:27:11.880 It seems like sort of selectively because, you know, in Nicaragua, I think they've kind of been communists for a while, right?

01:27:18.920 Any specific location in Nicaragua?

01:27:20.740 Like Managua, Nicaragua?

01:27:22.420 Oh, okay.

01:27:22.840 I think in Managua, Nicaragua, they are fairly communist there.

01:27:28.180 Yeah.

01:27:28.500 Daniel Noriega, who's been there for what?

01:27:30.580 A zillion years?

01:27:32.680 713 years, I think.

01:27:33.820 We don't have Jeffy in the studio right now, but of course he fought in the Battle of the Island of Spice.

01:27:37.980 Right.

01:27:38.340 In Grenada.

01:27:39.220 Right.

01:27:39.720 Which was a situation.

01:27:41.640 That's something we couldn't allow right there.

01:27:43.180 Couldn't allow.

01:27:43.620 And then there was, of course, obviously Cuba being a big situation, which is still ongoing.

01:27:49.200 I mean, we've opened up relations with them and then, you know, it's changed, gone back and forth several times since.

01:27:55.920 But the bottom line is they're still there, still chugging along in our, you know, and you don't, communists specifically, you may not see, but you may see an anti-American regime pop up there in a big way.

01:28:11.060 And it's still pretty close.

01:28:13.540 Yeah.

01:28:13.740 Again, you don't necessarily fear them.

01:28:15.320 It's like 700 miles.

01:28:15.860 You don't fear the might of the Haitian military per se.

01:28:18.680 No, but still.

01:28:19.720 But when you have influence from a China or from a Venezuela or from a Russia or from somewhere else.

01:28:25.900 That's what you're worried about.

01:28:27.140 Yeah.

01:28:27.440 Yeah.

01:28:28.120 888-727-BECK.

01:28:30.200 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:34.340 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:36.680 We were talking about the biggest disaster in American history.

01:28:41.900 And during the course of that, Stu has stumbled onto the, is it the top 12 disasters in U.S. history?

01:28:47.640 Yeah.

01:28:48.040 They say the worst disasters in U.S. history that left the nation in peril.

01:28:52.040 This is from Everglades University.

01:28:53.920 I don't know.

01:28:54.380 It's just where I have to stumble.

01:28:55.500 Everglades, man.

01:28:55.760 That's where I get all my information.

01:28:57.080 Well, the reason why I bring it up is because now every list, this is why they make listicles.

01:29:01.560 Because everyone you read, you have to argue about.

01:29:03.680 Yeah. 0.91

01:29:03.840 And like, well, this is ridiculous.

01:29:05.420 But let me give it to you real quick here, Pat.

01:29:07.220 Number 12, they have the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

01:29:10.560 What?

01:29:10.880 Like 11 people died there.

01:29:12.440 Yeah.

01:29:12.680 I mean, that's bad.

01:29:13.460 That's bad, but that's the 12th biggest.

01:29:17.000 Yeah.

01:29:17.140 Oil and gas leaked for 87 days.

01:29:19.480 Three million barrels were leaked into the Gulf.

01:29:21.560 There was some damage on the coast, for sure, at the time.

01:29:24.620 But generally speaking, I mean.

01:29:25.800 Remember that oil spill that kind of drifted out to sea?

01:29:28.660 And they were showing, you know, airborne shots of it.

01:29:34.020 And what are we going to do with this?

01:29:35.820 And then they went out to look at it again.

01:29:37.440 It was gone.

01:29:38.840 And they're like, wait, what happened to it?

01:29:41.600 Well, yeah, the Earth took care of it.

01:29:42.860 The Earth is a pretty amazing place, isn't it?

01:29:46.040 It is.

01:29:46.780 Number 11 is Hurricane Harvey.

01:29:49.440 Now, that's a big one.

01:29:50.320 Hurricane Harvey, second costliest hurricane to affect the U.S. mainland since 1900.

01:29:55.220 Category 4 storm, $125 billion in damage.

01:29:59.480 The rainiest Atlantic hurricane ever to be measured.

01:30:02.800 And really just, I mean, flooded Houston to a degree that, you know, was absolutely incredible.

01:30:08.080 And still, they're still dealing with some of the ramifications of that.

01:30:11.160 Number 10, Hurricane Katrina.

01:30:13.340 I would think Katrina would be higher on this list. 1.00

01:30:15.380 Mm-hmm.

01:30:15.880 Katrina comes in at number 10. 0.98

01:30:18.140 1,833 people died.

01:30:20.220 $80 billion of damage.

01:30:23.080 In 2005, that storm that, you know, really, obviously, we all remember that one.

01:30:27.680 Number 9, the Peshtigo Fire.

01:30:30.560 Peshtigo Fire?

01:30:31.360 Yeah, October 8th, 1871.

01:30:33.500 Oh, okay.

01:30:33.860 That's why I don't remember.

01:30:34.760 Today, probably would have been controllable.

01:30:36.380 But back then, it spread to 1,875 square miles.

01:30:41.020 Killed 1,500 people.

01:30:42.900 What?

01:30:43.420 Yeah.

01:30:44.360 Wow.

01:30:44.780 One of the worst disasters in U.S. history.

01:30:46.320 Number 9.

01:30:47.420 That I can't remember ever hearing about.

01:30:49.620 Yeah, it's kind of, I mean, 1800s.

01:30:50.580 The Peshtigo Fire?

01:30:51.920 Yeah.

01:30:52.040 Could anybody tell you what that is?

01:30:53.700 I don't know.

01:30:54.200 I mean, I just, I mean, I knew it, obviously.

01:30:56.120 I told you the date and everything.

01:30:57.380 Yeah, you did.

01:30:58.580 Number 8, the Johnstown Flood, which is one memorialized for sure.

01:31:03.240 Uh-huh.

01:31:03.720 This was 1889.

01:31:05.540 Killed 2,209 people.

01:31:08.180 A dam sent 20 million gallons of water into the Mississippi River, creating a wave 70 feet

01:31:13.720 high that traveled 14 miles.

01:31:15.680 What?

01:31:15.960 Destroying everything and everyone in its path, according to this listicle.

01:31:20.740 Number 7, the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

01:31:23.360 Now, again, I put the Katrina ahead of Exxon Valdez.

01:31:27.100 Oh, yeah.

01:31:28.240 Right?

01:31:28.720 Come on.

01:31:29.680 I mean, it was one of the worst.

01:31:31.060 What, we lose some birds on that?

01:31:32.760 Is that why?

01:31:33.040 Many birds.

01:31:33.660 We didn't have enough dove liquid soap to wash the birds off.

01:31:39.380 There was a dove shortage at the time.

01:31:40.520 Yeah, there was a dove shortage, and we couldn't wash all the birds.

01:31:44.060 And so.

01:31:44.700 Coincidence, it's named after a bird.

01:31:46.940 Oh, yeah.

01:31:47.480 Mm-hmm.

01:31:48.000 That's one of those things they don't talk about, Pat.

01:31:51.340 Yeah.

01:31:51.440 But 1989, that was, of course, oil spread over 1,300 miles, 10 million gallons of oil

01:31:57.960 into the Pacific Ocean.

01:31:59.160 And there was a lot of environmental damage, of course, associated with that.

01:32:02.100 But again, what happened to the oil?

01:32:03.800 Where'd the oil go?

01:32:05.260 I, well, people drank it.

01:32:08.280 People drank it, Pat.

01:32:09.300 Did they go out to drink it?

01:32:09.900 In Flint, Michigan.

01:32:10.820 That's how that happened.

01:32:11.440 Oh, wow.

01:32:11.960 Yep.

01:32:12.160 That's how that happened.

01:32:12.980 I hate when that happens.

01:32:14.040 This is interesting.

01:32:14.700 Ahead of Hurricane Katrina, they have Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, of course, in September

01:32:22.140 2017.

01:32:23.860 Killed 2,975 people.

01:32:26.560 Officials believe it was much, much higher, though.

01:32:28.580 Not in the U.S., though.

01:32:29.360 No, this is Puerto Rico.

01:32:30.340 Yeah.

01:32:30.680 Official death count was previously 64.

01:32:33.440 The storm cost $90 billion in Puerto Rico and $1.6 billion across the Caribbean.

01:32:39.640 I mean, that was really bad.

01:32:41.620 And I, you know, that was one of those things where, these are U.S. citizens, by the way.

01:32:45.260 You know, that was very damaging.

01:32:48.180 San Francisco earthquake, number five disaster.

01:32:51.600 It was April 18th, 1906.

01:32:54.540 3,400 people died.

01:32:56.000 80% of the city destroyed.

01:32:57.780 3,400.

01:32:58.800 Wow.

01:32:59.240 Imagine if 80% of San Francisco was destroyed today.

01:33:01.920 How many people would die?

01:33:02.900 Oof.

01:33:03.500 These events can really, in magnitude, ramp up pretty quickly.

01:33:08.880 Number four, Galveston, Texas hurricane.

01:33:11.000 We just discussed that.

01:33:11.900 3,600 homes destroyed.

01:33:13.080 12,000 people killed.

01:33:14.520 Hurricane in 1900.

01:33:15.940 Biggest loss of life.

01:33:16.900 They have number three, COVID-19.

01:33:18.940 Now, of course, COVID-19 has a much higher death toll than anything else on this list.

01:33:23.080 Kind of a weird thing to insert in the middle of this.

01:33:25.800 I don't know why you'd put that on the list.

01:33:27.820 And it's not number one with 600,000 plus dead.

01:33:30.680 Bizarre.

01:33:31.080 They have number two, September 11th, 2001.

01:33:34.820 Again, like this is not a natural disaster, but 2,973 victims killed.

01:33:39.840 And we all remember that day.

01:33:41.460 And then they have number one, the most famous disaster and worst disaster in U.S. history

01:33:46.520 that left the nation in peril.

01:33:48.160 So I guess you're talking about what the repercussions are, what the feeling of the country is, what

01:33:52.960 changes afterward.

01:33:53.900 And maybe you could count this one as number one, Pearl Harbor.

01:33:58.200 Wow.

01:33:58.660 2,403 Americans killed.

01:34:01.360 However, obviously, World War II kicks into high gear after that.

01:34:05.700 And we get involved in it in a big way.

01:34:07.940 So, I mean, I think if you're looking at it from just the impact of the event, Pearl Harbor

01:34:12.080 1, September 11th, 2, COVID 3, Galveston Hurricane 4, San Francisco Earthquake 5.

01:34:19.300 I mean, it depends on, again, you're thinking death tolls, you're making a totally different

01:34:24.480 list.

01:34:25.080 Yeah.

01:34:25.520 If you're thinking natural disasters, you get a different list on there.

01:34:28.560 But Pearl Harbor arguably was the most impactful day in the history of the United States.

01:34:35.880 I mean, I think you could make that argument.

01:34:37.520 Yeah, you could.

01:34:38.880 How many people died in the Chicago fire?

01:34:40.940 I wonder.

01:34:41.560 They didn't even list that, right?

01:34:42.820 That's not even the top.

01:34:44.000 Below the deep water oil spill?

01:34:46.040 You got to put Chicago fire ahead of that.

01:34:48.020 I'm calling Everglades University right after this.

01:34:50.460 Yeah, get them on the horn right now.

01:34:52.320 Change your listicle.

01:34:53.380 Yeah. 0.54

01:34:54.320 We're a little offended by your listicle.

01:34:59.000 That's modern society today.

01:35:00.980 The anger and the outrage is building over this listicle at this small college.

01:35:08.740 We're just about to start going downtown.

01:35:10.840 We're heading downtown to start looting right now.

01:35:13.200 That's what we're doing.

01:35:13.900 That's how pissed off we are.

01:35:18.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:25.500 It's Pat and Stu on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:27.400 He'll be back on Monday.

01:35:29.120 You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, right before this one, 7 to 9 Eastern.

01:35:34.340 Anytime on the podcast you love.

01:35:37.200 While you listen to the podcast, you could also get yourself some cookies from a Kexi Cookie

01:35:41.540 and try the new butterbeer flavor.

01:35:45.480 It's really good.

01:35:48.440 It is delicious.

01:35:49.420 Really, really good.

01:35:50.020 They're all great, but that one is particularly like...

01:35:52.260 I've never had that flavor before.

01:35:53.540 It's kind of a butterscotch-y type of thing.

01:35:55.140 It's very good.

01:35:55.760 Yeah.

01:35:55.920 Very good, Pat.

01:35:56.540 Good job.

01:35:57.180 Nice work.

01:35:57.700 I know you did all the...

01:35:58.600 Oh, my gosh.

01:35:58.680 Came up with all the recipes.

01:36:00.100 You and yourself.

01:36:00.760 ...perched and poured over recipes.

01:36:03.720 Yeah.

01:36:04.140 Yeah.

01:36:04.560 And you make all the cookies yourself.

01:36:06.440 Baked for hours.

01:36:06.960 Yeah.

01:36:07.220 In a hollow tree.

01:36:08.600 Oh, really?

01:36:09.040 Yeah.

01:36:09.440 Yeah.

01:36:09.760 That's a terrible place to bake things.

01:36:11.220 I know.

01:36:11.940 It's so dry right now.

01:36:13.640 I'm just a little nervous in fire season.

01:36:16.220 Yeah.

01:36:16.640 Yeah.

01:36:16.860 Really dangerous.

01:36:17.840 By the way, as we kind of get past the July 4th holiday, Glenn Beck will be coming back next

01:36:23.700 week on Monday.

01:36:25.280 Monday, we're all sort of inching into summer a little bit, maybe the first time you're

01:36:29.720 thinking about that.

01:36:30.360 And I think it's important to ask yourself a question. 0.99

01:36:32.800 Do you believe that Nancy Pelosi sucks? 0.99

01:36:36.880 The answer is yes for me. 1.00

01:36:38.420 It is.

01:36:38.860 Yeah, it is yes for me. 0.99

01:36:39.540 Well, if you do, you need a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. 1.00

01:36:42.780 We just got some new ones in. 0.99

01:36:44.420 Available once again at NancyPelosiSucksPen.com.

01:36:48.020 Check them out there.

01:36:49.260 You definitely need one of these in your life.

01:36:51.920 NancyPelosiSucksPen.com.

01:36:53.480 They're handsome pens, too.

01:36:54.880 They are.

01:36:55.320 Thank you very much, man.

01:36:55.980 I appreciate that.

01:36:57.360 Let me, there's a new fitness test going on.

01:37:03.400 And there's an idea, I don't know if you know this, there's no difference between men 0.61

01:37:06.260 and women. 0.98

01:37:07.800 There's no difference at all.

01:37:09.020 No discernible physical difference.

01:37:11.500 No.

01:37:11.900 They're almost exactly the same.

01:37:13.340 In fact, that's why it's so easy to switch genders, because you're basically the same 1.00

01:37:17.140 thing.

01:37:17.360 Same.

01:37:17.540 So, when we open up our world to this new, woke environment, where we recognize that

01:37:25.320 there's no differences between the genders whatsoever, you can't even tell which one 1.00

01:37:29.620 is which.

01:37:30.040 How could you know?

01:37:30.700 No one could know.

01:37:32.100 Mm-hmm.

01:37:33.040 So, this has now been sort of implemented or is being implemented in the military, where

01:37:37.700 they said, you know what?

01:37:38.520 We don't need a different physical fitness test for men and women.

01:37:42.480 After all, they're the same.

01:37:45.520 So, they're getting rid of the gendered fitness test for military members.

01:37:50.380 And I think you could argue that's actually a pretty good idea.

01:37:53.720 Like, if you can't pass the fitness test, you probably shouldn't be.

01:37:57.840 Yeah, there should just be one fitness test for everybody getting into the military.

01:38:01.760 So, in a way, I kind of agree with this policy change.

01:38:05.700 Military.com has a report out talking about the early data, and it's showing some things

01:38:12.560 that are making us a little uncomfortable in our new woke world, Pat.

01:38:17.020 Early data shows nearly half of female soldiers can't pass the test and might face being removed 1.00

01:38:24.340 from service once it becomes official next year.

01:38:27.280 The Army is now reconsidering and thinking about a return to gender-specific fitness standards.

01:38:33.440 Oh, my gosh.

01:38:34.100 Now, here are the results, and you tell me if you've...

01:38:36.560 This is shocking to you.

01:38:38.960 44% of women have failed the fitness test.

01:38:43.280 Only 7% of men have failed the fitness test.

01:38:48.900 When it comes to a perfect score, 66 female soldiers have a perfect... 1.00

01:38:53.940 Or 500 out of 600, so a very good score.

01:38:57.620 So, 66 female soldiers, 31,978 male soldiers were able to do the same thing. 0.99

01:39:05.000 So, if it's officially adopted, the uniform standards would prevent women from advancing 0.99

01:39:11.640 through the ranks as readily as men, as physical fitness scores are heavily considered in promotions

01:39:17.220 for some reason, according to military.com.

01:39:19.940 I can't think of any reason why you would do that in the military.

01:39:22.480 Can you think of any?

01:39:23.320 I can't think of why you might need that.

01:39:25.260 That's really weird.

01:39:26.840 You know, these laws are...

01:39:28.240 It should be completely different standards for men as women.

01:39:31.280 Right?

01:39:31.900 Yeah, like so...

01:39:32.580 It should be completely different.

01:39:33.160 I think what you should do is you should have two tests, male and female, but allow the 1.00

01:39:39.940 males to say that they're females if they fail the test for men. 0.75

01:39:45.400 Oh, yeah.

01:39:45.740 So, they can retroactively just say, look, yeah, how about this judge me on the female standards? 1.00

01:39:49.800 Because I'm identifying as such today.

01:39:51.900 Right.

01:39:52.140 And if you happen to be a very physically fit woman, you can identify as a male and get

01:39:55.600 into that test.

01:39:56.460 Okay.

01:39:57.100 I like it.

01:39:57.720 Which is...

01:39:58.220 That's the way you should do it, I think.

01:40:00.340 Some of these things...

01:40:02.480 These laws are unfair to women, Pat. 1.00

01:40:04.680 Mm-hmm.

01:40:05.160 Now, I would argue as a military, you should not care about any of the woke nonsense that's

01:40:09.980 out there because that's how you get in trouble with a military.

01:40:13.420 The only thing you should consider is whether your military is able to defeat other militaries.

01:40:19.060 Yeah.

01:40:19.220 And that's not the case, though.

01:40:20.560 You listen...

01:40:21.000 Yeah.

01:40:21.020 Have you been listening to the generals under this administration lately?

01:40:25.300 Oh, yeah.

01:40:25.460 It's amazing.

01:40:26.880 It's amazing.

01:40:27.480 Some of these guys were around during Trump, too, and were doing some interesting things

01:40:31.000 behind the scenes.

01:40:32.020 Yeah.

01:40:32.380 And Trump was pissed.

01:40:33.340 Trump was pissed about that.

01:40:34.300 And tried to put a stop to that.

01:40:35.420 However, we have now another law, Pat, that's unfair to women. 1.00

01:40:41.680 I just love this headline.

01:40:43.020 A nation conceived in liberty confronts its queasiness with the MILF mobile.

01:40:49.760 The MILF mobile.

01:40:51.300 You might not know what the MILF mobile is.

01:40:53.100 Hopefully, you know what MILFs are, just from the point of I really can't explain them on

01:40:57.860 the air, other than to say it's sort of like the hot mom, a mom who people think is attractive.

01:41:06.120 I can't really go into the full acronym, but if you don't know it, feel free to look it

01:41:10.640 up, though I don't necessarily recommend Googling it at work.

01:41:14.960 Okay.

01:41:15.480 So, the MILF mobile is a van in Maine.

01:41:19.200 Okay.

01:41:19.400 It's driven by a mom who... 1.00

01:41:22.520 And is she hot? 1.00

01:41:23.320 I don't know if she's hot. 1.00

01:41:24.880 I don't know if she is an actual MILF, but I will say she believes she is. 0.99

01:41:30.780 So, on the back of her van, in large letters, it says MILF mobile.

01:41:36.120 It's a big logo on the back of her van.

01:41:38.540 Now, she also has a license plate, and she's fighting for her constitutional right to maintain 1.00

01:41:44.400 this license plate.

01:41:45.180 And, again, I can't tell you what the license plate says, unfortunately, on the air.

01:41:49.720 What I will say...

01:41:51.300 It's...

01:41:51.780 But, as you described it to me before, it has something to do with breast stitches, her snoobage.

01:41:58.680 Right?

01:41:59.440 And it's a T word that has to do with snoobage.

01:42:02.860 And you can't...

01:42:03.760 Yeah, it's one of George Carlin's words.

01:42:05.340 You do not have the right to put that on your license plate.

01:42:09.000 How dare you?

01:42:09.800 I'm sorry.

01:42:10.740 How dare you?

01:42:11.580 There's no constitutional right to put that word on a license plate.

01:42:14.820 That's...

01:42:15.340 She does not agree.

01:42:16.660 Quite the opposite.

01:42:17.180 And they're trying to figure out whether a new law banning vulgar vanity plates sets

01:42:21.640 the stage for a free speech showdown in Maine.

01:42:24.900 Now, she does not only have the snoobage-related vanity plate and the MILF mobile on the back

01:42:32.880 of her car.

01:42:33.500 She also has some other stickers, if you'd like me to explain some of them, Pat.

01:42:37.780 I think you might like to...

01:42:38.120 Already explainable?

01:42:39.560 Kind of.

01:42:40.460 Kind of. 1.00

01:42:40.820 But one of them is, there are kids in this bitch. 1.00

01:42:44.840 Honk if one falls out. 1.00

01:42:49.700 Okay.

01:42:50.620 All right.

01:42:51.320 Now, this one is a little bit...

01:42:52.920 It's kind of funny.

01:42:53.420 A little risque. 0.97

01:42:54.820 It says, if you're going to ride my rear end, at least pull my hair. 0.95

01:43:04.340 And then another that says... 0.96

01:43:06.220 Honk. 1.00

01:43:09.260 So stupid. 1.00

01:43:11.380 Wow. 1.00

01:43:11.780 Another that says, condoms prevent minivans, which is actually, I think, arguably true.

01:43:18.060 It's probably true.

01:43:19.120 So, she's fighting for her constitutional right to protect the MILF mobile. 0.99

01:43:22.680 And I don't know how you feel about it, Pat.

01:43:24.020 That's a wild woman right there. 1.00

01:43:26.240 That's good for her.

01:43:28.600 And we have one other story.

01:43:29.840 Is she married?

01:43:30.220 What's that?

01:43:30.800 Is she married?

01:43:32.120 I wonder what her husband thinks of the MILF mobile.

01:43:35.080 It's a great question.

01:43:36.120 I wouldn't necessarily picture any husband being particularly high on the MILF mobile.

01:43:41.960 No, I wouldn't.

01:43:42.620 I wouldn't either.

01:43:43.960 No.

01:43:44.220 Maybe Jeffy would be.

01:43:45.820 Other than that, I don't know that I know anyone who would be high.

01:43:48.760 But first of all, for who among us...

01:43:52.280 It doesn't have a MILF mobile.

01:43:53.720 And this is a shocking one, Pat, because I've been looking at some of the crime statistics

01:43:58.840 lately.

01:44:00.180 And what we're seeing as a trend is interesting in that it's pretty flat for the last, like,

01:44:06.820 15 years, a crime rate.

01:44:09.520 And then, all of a sudden, it shoots up dramatically.

01:44:14.940 And you might say, well, was it during COVID?

01:44:16.840 Well, it was during COVID, but specifically, it ties directly to the Minneapolis riots.

01:44:24.380 Shocking to me.

01:44:25.540 I was stunned by this information.

01:44:27.680 Yeah.

01:44:28.060 And it's stayed really high since the riots.

01:44:30.680 It's come down a tad, but basically, it's stayed really high since this era of BLM has 0.76

01:44:37.360 helped us along so much.

01:44:39.320 Is this the murder rate, or is it just violent crime, or is it crime in general?

01:44:42.860 Let me...

01:44:43.820 Because the murder rate is way up in this country.

01:44:47.820 What's interesting is the murder rate is way up.

01:44:50.340 This is homicide.

01:44:51.960 Okay.

01:44:52.140 Now, homicide does also include other killings, not necessarily just murders.

01:44:58.300 Homicide includes more than that. 0.55

01:45:00.100 But still, it is way, way, way up, up by 29%.

01:45:04.540 But somebody's been killed illegally, right?

01:45:06.540 In a homicide?

01:45:07.320 Isn't it a homicide?

01:45:08.000 No, actually...

01:45:08.520 It's not?

01:45:08.960 Like, for example, a police-justified shooting is technically a homicide.

01:45:12.680 Oh, okay.

01:45:13.280 However, it is not a murder, and it might not be a crime involved in it.

01:45:17.460 However, murders and those crimes are included in the homicide number.

01:45:22.780 So, there can be...

01:45:23.560 It could be a homicide and not a murder.

01:45:25.460 You cannot be a murderer without a homicide.

01:45:27.920 Okay.

01:45:28.360 Okay.

01:45:28.920 So, anyway...

01:45:29.700 Somebody's dead, though, is what we're saying.

01:45:31.580 Somebody's dead.

01:45:32.120 Yes.

01:45:32.340 So, the race is dramatic right as these things hit, right as these riots hit, and stays up

01:45:41.660 very, very high, going back to the levels of the late 90s, which is when it was first

01:45:46.560 coming down from that ugly era of the 80s and 90s.

01:45:49.060 So, we're going back a long way.

01:45:50.380 We've wiped out 25 years of gains against murder.

01:45:54.140 And it was dramatic, too, because in the early, late 80s, early 90s, for instance, New York

01:45:59.380 City had...

01:46:00.660 I think one of their biggest years was 2,300 murders.

01:46:05.320 Was it 20...

01:46:06.520 If I'm not mistaken, it was somewhere around 2,300.

01:46:08.880 Well, you know, now, or before this latest rise, it was into the 300 and 400 area.

01:46:15.740 Yeah.

01:46:15.960 Dropping 70, 80, 90% in some areas.

01:46:18.360 Yeah.

01:46:18.380 A lot.

01:46:19.600 And now to have all of that, you know, all of that progress just kind of eliminated.

01:46:25.480 All wiped out, Pat, to protect black lives, because they matter so much to these organizations.

01:46:32.340 They care so much about black lives that they're willing to sacrifice some of them to raise money 1.00

01:46:38.880 for new homes. 0.67

01:46:40.240 That's how much they care about black lives.

01:46:42.520 Right.

01:46:43.160 Now, remember, there's also the study that we talked about where this does not include

01:46:48.200 2020, where this rise is happening, but between 2014 and 2019, they studied areas that had large

01:46:53.840 BLM protests, and what they found is that they did protect 300, quote-unquote, homicides of police

01:47:01.940 against citizens.

01:47:04.360 Now, of course, the overwhelming majority of those would have been justified shootings, but they say,

01:47:09.940 hey, we did prevent 300, according to the study.

01:47:13.120 At the same time, they did increase the rate of murder among civilians and caused 1,000 to 6,000 additional murders

01:47:23.340 of civilian versus civilian.

01:47:25.640 So you save 300 police shootings, most of which would have been justified against criminals,

01:47:30.140 and you get rid of 1,000 to 6,000 actual citizens who were murdered by other citizens.

01:47:36.080 What a win.

01:47:37.100 Unbelievable.

01:47:37.820 Anyway, they're now saying law enforcement advocates are explaining there's a mass exodus from police

01:47:43.640 officers and from police forces.

01:47:45.940 Retirements.

01:47:46.720 No.

01:47:47.280 Yep.

01:47:48.060 I mean, this isn't a super fun and fulfilling time for police officers to be...

01:47:52.240 Yeah, it's weird.

01:47:53.040 A police officer?

01:47:53.920 You'd think.

01:47:54.360 This is a great time to be an officer.

01:47:55.560 Yeah, you would.

01:47:56.420 You'd get all that wonderful attention.

01:47:58.000 Everyone's always pointing cameras at you and blaming you for racist murders when it's

01:48:02.460 not your fault at all.

01:48:03.600 Mm-hmm.

01:48:04.180 That's...

01:48:04.700 And, you know, sometimes we do know there are bad cops, but everyone just gets lumped

01:48:08.160 in to the category of bad cops.

01:48:09.980 And for some reason, the good cops don't like that.

01:48:12.200 Huh.

01:48:12.660 They seem to be leaving in mass.

01:48:14.360 It's kind of picky.

01:48:14.840 They're kind of picky then.

01:48:16.160 Wow.

01:48:16.420 That's what I say about cops. 0.91

01:48:17.760 Kind of picky.

01:48:19.340 Kind of picky.

01:48:19.920 It's gotten to the point where they don't even want to be, you know, confused with douchebags 0.88

01:48:25.040 or killers, you know.

01:48:28.140 They don't want to be accused of any of that.

01:48:30.180 That's pretty picky.

01:48:31.720 888-727-BECK.

01:48:35.340 888-727-BECK.

01:48:38.420 888-933-93.

01:48:46.000 No, it's 888-727-BECK.

01:48:49.960 Okay.

01:48:50.560 Only on the last break did I finally get the number wrong.

01:48:53.040 You did two weeks of feelings.

01:48:54.100 Two weeks.

01:48:54.780 And the last break, you scrub the phone number.

01:48:56.500 It's so weird.

01:48:57.860 All right.

01:48:58.140 Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:48:58.960 He's back on Monday.

01:49:00.060 Have you seen the video of Biden yesterday talking about Afghanistan where he stops again?

01:49:05.880 And he's just, like, stunned for, I don't know, five to six seconds during his speech?

01:49:12.680 Check this out.

01:49:13.660 This is Joe Biden talking about Afghanistan yesterday.

01:49:17.420 We went for two reasons.

01:49:20.100 One, to...

01:49:24.720 Hello? 0.99

01:49:26.280 Bring Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell. 0.99

01:49:30.960 Okay. 0.99

01:49:31.720 Pause it.

01:49:32.600 The word bring?

01:49:33.720 Yeah.

01:49:33.880 To bring...

01:49:36.880 You don't even have that noise.

01:49:40.680 That would be better than what happened.

01:49:45.640 Because, you know, he's still there, at least.

01:49:50.680 Osama bin Laden.

01:49:52.840 It's embarrassing.

01:49:54.280 I don't know how...

01:49:55.240 I mean, his brain literally locks up multiple times a day.

01:50:00.440 And...

01:50:00.600 It's rough to watch.

01:50:01.680 It is.

01:50:02.080 Not to mention, we should point out that he is on record saying he basically...

01:50:06.500 He opposed it.

01:50:07.320 He opposed it.

01:50:08.240 Because it was the toughest decision in 500 years.

01:50:12.340 That's right.

01:50:13.580 And he advised against it.

01:50:16.420 Advised against taking out the world's most notorious terrorist?

01:50:20.240 Yeah.

01:50:20.460 And now he's taking credit for it.

01:50:22.880 Unbelievable.

01:50:23.320 Wait for two reasons.

01:50:25.440 One, to bring...

01:50:44.960 The dial down the middle guy.
