00:00:30.000
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:50.360
Fascinating articles coming out the last few days about our cadaver-in-chief, Joe Robinette Biden.
00:01:00.000
Some people are noticing, this is incredible, that he has cognitively declined a bit.
00:01:10.060
It pisses me off when people say that because it's so obviously not true.
00:01:13.960
And lots of Democrats were able to step up after the fact and say,
00:01:23.880
I think that was a quote, I believe, from the article.
00:01:39.580
I don't need to tell you how important a good night's sleep is.
00:01:45.640
Although he does go to bed at 5 p.m. and get up around 11 a.m.
00:01:50.380
But if you're like most people, sometimes you just can't fall asleep or maybe you can't stay asleep.
00:01:54.780
And you frequently wake up in the middle of the night.
00:01:59.000
If it sounds familiar to you, if you have trouble sleeping, you know, if one of those nights where you just can't get to bed,

00:02:46.600
All right, so some mainstream media outlets are noticing some, I don't know, disintegration of Joe Biden.
00:03:02.980
Yeah, it was a few months ago, a couple months ago, Pat, where they had the result of that special counsel
00:03:09.520
that was looking into the documents with Joe Biden.
00:03:12.100
And they released a report that said, we're not going to charge the guy.
00:03:20.940
We're not going to charge him because he is an elderly man with a poor memory.
00:03:27.840
And if he got in front of a jury, everyone would say, come on, you can't put this guy in jail.
00:03:32.460
He's so out of touch. He's so lost. He doesn't remember anything.
00:03:38.120
Now, that's a shocking thing to think about when you think that this guy's the president of the United States, right?
00:03:49.940
And I have just come off of watching The Jinx Season 2.
00:03:58.240
The Jinx is a somewhat famous true crime documentary.
00:04:18.720
Like, the Jinx Season 1 is one of the most stunning six-episode series you'll ever watch in your entire life.
00:04:27.320
Including the ending, which even nine years later, I won't ruin for you.
00:04:38.420
And, you know, they're going through him in the trial and everything else about these crimes he committed.
00:04:48.500
And so, going through that, very famously in this, there's a note for one of the murders where he just writes the word cadaver.
00:04:58.580
And as you said, cadaver in chief, it reminds me of this.
00:05:14.220
And over and over again watching this, I just was reminded of the President of the United States.
00:05:28.820
And I'm watching the President of the United States and I'm thinking,
00:05:31.840
I don't know, it kind of seems like the same thing we watch every day in the press conference.
00:05:45.840
This is a free tip to anyone thinking about running for office.
00:05:49.160
You know, and people will say, well, it's a Wall Street Journal.
00:05:57.080
They're more like old-school Republican, I would say.
00:06:03.040
In fact, their news coverage at times has been shown to be more liberal than the New York Times.
00:06:12.680
Behind closed doors, Biden shows signs of slipping.
00:06:22.000
You still the thing we all know that is happening is happening?
00:06:24.800
But thank you for somebody noticing in the mainstream media.
00:06:30.480
Participants in meetings said the 81-year-old president performed poorly at times.
00:06:34.720
The White House said that Biden is sharp and his critics are playing partisan politics.
00:06:40.520
Now, they do actually use the phrase in here, sharp as a tack, Pat.
00:06:51.900
Oh, this is, no, actually it was, I knew I heard the phrase in here.
00:06:55.380
Basically, the way the article is formatted, they give you a bunch of examples of Biden
00:07:01.700
slipping up in meetings, looking like he's not engaged, and we can go into those.
00:07:06.240
And then it's followed by 65 straight paragraphs of statements from the White House saying they,
00:07:14.240
So, it was actually a Trump spokeswoman who said, Trump is sharp as a tack.
00:07:25.560
It's interesting because there are statements from people like Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker
00:07:29.860
of the House, a Republican, who says he was in a meeting with him and like, wow, something,
00:07:36.460
He says, I used to meet with him when he was vice president.
00:07:43.680
Which maybe you could apply to, okay, it's a Republican, even though McCarthy's no longer
00:07:50.700
You might say, well, he still doesn't like Biden.
00:07:55.640
And some of these, maybe you can chalk up to that.
00:07:58.940
However, there are even Democrats in here talking about this and noticing it.
00:08:05.540
And it's not a surprise that they would notice it because it's impossible to not notice.
00:08:11.480
But the Wall Street Journal had interviews with 45 people for this story, 45.
00:08:17.580
Some of them said he's, you know, sharp as a tack, all basically in the administration.
00:08:23.500
But some of the Democrats who came out and said this got some phone calls from the White
00:08:30.760
The White House kept close tabs on some of the Wall Street Journal's interviews with
00:08:35.100
After the offices of several Democrats shared with the White House either a recording of
00:08:39.900
an interview or details about what was asked, some of those lawmakers spoke to the journal
00:08:43.860
a second time and once again emphasized Biden's strengths.
00:08:53.080
He says, they just, you know, said that I should give you a call back, said Meeks, referring to the White
00:09:04.300
So Meeks obviously is honest and says, yeah, you know, maybe he's not at the top of his
00:09:09.040
game and then has to call back and say, I swear everything I said before, you shouldn't
00:09:15.280
You should think instead about the thing I'm about to say, which is he's sharp as a tack.
00:09:20.340
Like, multiple Democrats, along with a lot of Republicans, said they believe, and this
00:09:32.840
is including a February 27th meeting with Biden and the Speaker of the House now, Johnson,
00:09:38.820
who talked about a policy, an energy policy that he was, they were working through that
00:09:45.780
Johnson was saying, hey, you're going to hurt my state with this energy policy.
00:09:54.880
It was a policy that was already passed or was already in place.
00:10:00.820
It was his policy, his policy, not a study, not a study.
00:10:04.280
There was a study inside the policy, but it was a it was an actual, in effect, policy.
00:10:09.100
Then you had a meeting about the debt ceiling where McCarthy is talked about how he rambled,
00:10:18.960
He was asking people around him for help constantly.
00:10:26.660
Again, you know, maybe you might say, well, for the election, considering Donald Trump doesn't
00:10:34.160
You know, he's made some mistakes here and there.
00:10:35.860
But generally speaking, that's not what is being reported from behind the scenes about
00:10:54.700
Another meeting, January 17th, 2024, about Ukraine.
00:11:02.440
He would make broad points about giving money to Ukraine.
00:11:05.860
This struck several participants as odd, given that the lawmakers present already generally
00:11:11.600
So he's talking to a pro-Ukraine funding crowd, arguing with them about how they have to give
00:11:19.860
They were all there because they were on board with giving money to Ukraine.
00:11:26.500
Biden deferred so frequently to other lawmakers that much of the conversation didn't include
00:11:32.100
This is according to people who were at the meeting.
00:11:36.880
When questions came directly to him, he would turn to staffers.
00:11:39.960
One person who attended said, you couldn't be there and not feel uncomfortable.
00:11:46.600
Now, it is loaded, I will say, with tons and tons of Democratic officials who say, oh, well,
00:11:53.240
We were in that meeting and everything we saw, he was perfect.
00:11:57.940
Obviously, they're in the middle of this campaign.
00:12:00.780
But what's interesting about this is you've got Democrats, you've got some people inside
00:12:04.400
the administration, unnamed, pointing to the idea that this is real.
00:12:11.380
Because this story coming out not only tells the truth about who Joe Biden is, but it's
00:12:19.360
Like, it's people who want this story to be told.
00:12:22.840
Yeah, because it's people who are patriots and realize this guy can't be trusted with
00:12:28.420
the leadership of this nation for the next four years.
00:12:31.360
It's impossible for him to do this in a second term.
00:12:37.200
I mean, can you imagine this guy in 2025, 2026?
00:12:41.000
Look at the way he is now and then how much he's declined since he was elected in 2020 and
00:12:59.200
He, before he is inaugurated for a second term, he will be 82 years old.
00:13:08.080
Before he leaves office, in theory, if he wins a second term, he will be 86.
00:13:18.600
It's happened right before our eyes over the last, you know, four to six years.
00:13:23.900
And he's, yeah, he's incapable of doing a second term.
00:13:28.420
It's true because, I mean, look, let's not overstate Joe Biden's mental acuity.
00:13:35.860
I mean, he's a guy, I mean, go back to his, when he was running for president, what was
00:13:39.880
the, what was the interview he did, Pat, where he was saying that, you know, Rose, he saw
00:13:47.780
And it was like, well, the television hadn't been invented yet.
00:13:52.680
And he talked about, he mentioned a place in Delaware that had been closed for.
00:14:00.780
I mean, this was very, very common for him to have these moments.
00:14:08.060
He would say that Barack Obama was the first, you know.
00:14:21.180
He would say you can't go into a 7-Eleven without a slight Indian accent.
00:14:26.740
I mean, he would say those things and have those moments.
00:14:29.000
But he at least seemed to have some grasp on what was going on around him.
00:14:35.140
Even though he kind of would have these gaffes.
00:14:39.960
He was never near the top of the heap when it came to intellectual ability.
00:14:46.360
And that, even as vice president, at some level you'd see that he would certainly mess up.
00:14:53.400
He would, you know, blurt out policies that weren't in effect yet.
00:14:57.340
He would, he hurt at times, you know, the Obama presidency with some of the stuff that he did.
00:15:03.880
But again, you kind of were like, all right, I mean, he's just, you know, it's Joe being Joe.
00:15:12.700
And you've got that from the Wall Street Journal as proof when it's starting to seep into mainstream coverage like that.
00:15:18.140
Plus, Time Magazine discusses an interview they did with him.
00:15:25.520
And he walked him through the White House and the West Wing.
00:15:36.160
We have to declare a lot of things when you're traveling on a plane.
00:15:42.260
I just, I've found that that delays them often.
00:15:45.600
If you just got a big samurai sword in your back.
00:15:50.000
You know, it's just something I've noticed traveling.
00:15:51.900
Which you don't have to declare something that can save your life or someone that you love.
00:15:57.320
It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and yourself that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction.
00:16:05.260
It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18.
00:16:12.640
You can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm, making your airport experience smoother.
00:16:18.120
And there are times when non-lethal is really the way to go.
00:16:21.600
The Berna Launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.
00:16:26.900

00:16:54.880
I mean, if you don't believe us that it's not prudent to vote for Joe Biden in November, listen to him.
00:17:02.080
Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for because we cannot get reelect.
00:17:21.420
That's a surprising statement from the opposition.
00:17:24.040
Powerful endorsement, though, from Joe Biden himself to Donald Trump.
00:17:29.780
Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for because we cannot get re-elect.
00:17:55.480
I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to say the only way that America can turn is to him.
00:18:05.980
Turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for because we cannot get re-elect.
00:18:16.160
We can, excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump.
00:18:32.020
I think maybe what he was trying to say, what the speech said was, we cannot re-elect Donald Trump.
00:18:41.200
He got halfway through that and realized, wait a minute, I'm president, not Donald Trump.
00:18:50.240
So, then he thought it was a re-election reference about himself in the middle of the sentence.
00:18:53.380
So, then he tried to reframe it as we cannot re-elect.
00:18:57.060
And he's like, wait, I'm the person going for re-election.
00:19:01.080
And then he said, wait a minute, I just said I can't re-elect it.
00:19:05.320
And then the next line was actually Trump the whole time.
00:19:09.800
So, he just corrected himself three or four times.
00:19:30.020
And, like, that is a great example of what the problem is.
00:19:37.520
And not only did the Wall Street Journal point that out, Time just kind of pointed that out.
00:19:54.520
And Biden is showing them around and telling them stories as he goes.
00:20:00.200
And Time writes, as he walked Time through the West Wing and sat for a 35-minute interview on May 28th, the president, with his stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax, cut a striking contrast with the intense, loquacious figure who served as senator and vice president.
00:20:30.360
And that echoes another thing in the Wall Street Journal story where they said, I think it was in the Ukraine meeting, where he was speaking so softly, people in the room couldn't even hear him.
00:20:38.200
They're having an important meeting about the World War III thing he's trying to start, apparently.
00:20:45.140
But kind of important that you can know what he's saying.
00:20:49.360
And there were five people that pointed that out to them.
00:20:54.040
I mean, it's not like I just heard this from somebody who doesn't like the president.
00:20:59.180
Time goes on to say that Biden bristles at the suggestion that he's aging out of his job.
00:21:11.600
Asked whether he could handle its rigors through the end of a second term when he'll be 86.
00:21:16.540
He shot back, I could do it better than anybody you know.
00:21:24.260
And it's nice to see that, you know, others are finally admitting it.
00:21:33.280
Next time you pull through the drive-thru and get a hamburger, take it home.
00:21:39.440
Yeah, set that puppy on for, I don't know, an hour or so.
00:21:42.300
Long enough that what comes out is a smoldering heap of charcoal.
00:21:46.440
Now spray just a little bit of beef flavoring on the top and bon appetit.
00:21:51.940
If that's not going to do it for you, think about your dog.
00:21:54.160
Your dog's got basically the same way about it.
00:22:02.040
It's developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
00:22:06.080
All you have to do is sprinkle it on the top of your dog food.
00:22:08.660
And, of course, your dog's going to go crazy for this when you do that.
00:22:14.460
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably already in rough greens.
00:22:17.440
The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

Today, folks, when folks see shovels in the ground in these projects, the work that you've
00:23:29.780
I mean, how much clearer does he have to get here?
00:23:31.980
Folks, see shovels in the ground in these projects.
00:23:34.720
The work that you've risked your life doing lots of it.
00:23:42.220
I mean, this man is not just sharp as a tack, but incredibly talented.
00:23:50.560
You know, he doesn't talk enough about his football days.
00:24:01.900
Like, in the traditional sense, you'd be good and people would, like, notice that you're
00:24:13.760
Apparently, he knew, and he did some interesting things when he was playing football.
00:24:18.720
All, like, decided against going to the Naval Academy and instead went to Delaware.
00:24:31.200
Anyway, I was going to go play at the Naval Academy.
00:24:33.700
Did you notice he almost said I was appointed to go to...
00:24:36.300
Because you've got to get a senatorial appointment, I think, or a recommendation or something
00:24:42.800
And then he realized, nah, they can check on that.
00:24:47.500
Well, I found out the other guys in the backfield were a guy named Roger Staubach and Joe Bolino.
00:25:13.700
It was Navy and Delaware, top two teams in the nation back then.
00:25:25.120
And so he decided to go to Delaware because Roger Staubach...
00:25:36.480
So basically he was, Pat, intimidated that he wouldn't get any playing time because these
00:25:42.840
Except for the fact that he didn't play in the backfield, he was a wide receiver.
00:25:46.440
So you didn't have to compete against the two of them.
00:25:49.400
But wait, wouldn't you think if you were a wide receiver...
00:25:52.680
That you would want a good quarterback throwing the ball to you.
00:25:59.540
Neither was it the case that Staubach and Joe Bolino played at the same time.
00:26:04.220
They never played in the same backfield at Navy.
00:26:22.320
I don't know how to chalk that up because I don't feel like that one has anything to
00:26:26.240
do with his, you know, mental acuity falling apart.
00:26:34.680
He's been doing this forever, the Amtrak story.
00:26:38.660
Where he constantly, he had a certain amount of miles that he had gone and he talked to
00:26:44.360
And I mean, I don't know if he's got a Bruce Willis.
00:26:47.300
And Ange came up to me as I walk in and he said, Joey!
00:26:52.640
The guy was dead for 15 years at that point when he did that.
00:27:04.480
Plus, he'd been retired from that position since, I think, 1992, if I remember correctly.
00:27:19.060
It's almost as if he feels uncomfortable telling a story about his life.
00:27:26.500
It's like he feels actually more comfortable lying than he does telling the truth, which
00:27:31.960
Like, if you're telling a lie, you're like, I don't know.
00:27:43.940
And, in fact, he'll tell current lies that are so easily discovered, you know, and that
00:27:54.260
Not just us, but his usual allies have debunked these things, like PolitiFact and Snopes and
00:28:03.740
everybody who claims to deal with fact-checking has debunked this one, and he keeps telling
00:28:10.360
Bringing down inflation was 9% when I came to office.
00:28:14.560
But, look, people have a right to be concerned.
00:28:17.300
But, look, no, it wasn't 9% when you came into office.
00:28:41.380
About double what it was when he came into office.
00:28:44.200
That one is, like, again, a lie that you can sort of understand a politician telling.
00:28:54.860
Now, because it's so easily fact-checked, you'd think normally you wouldn't tell it.
00:29:00.540
But, like, you can see the motivation there, right?
00:29:02.260
He's trying to make his record look better than it is.
00:29:08.120
He's just doing it at a level that is, like, you know, maybe below kindergarten level.
00:29:12.820
Like, it's just very, very, he's very bad at it.
00:29:16.460
But it's the same thing with his, you know, we created 11 million jobs or whatever he's been saying lately.
00:29:22.580
And, you know, he's measuring from the bottom of COVID, which is a fascinating thing.
00:29:29.480
When everyone realizes, number one, they all remember the pandemic.
00:29:36.160
We all remember all the stores and the, you know, the restaurants and everything closed down.
00:29:40.740
And so that's why there were not a lot of jobs at that point.
00:29:47.600
And number two, he supported all of those policies and tried to extend them for years.
00:29:54.680
You know, like, when everyone else had moved on, he was still saying that people needed to shut down and wear masks and vaccinate and do all these other things.
00:30:06.400
And it's not just the 15 million jobs lie about the pandemic.
00:30:10.140
It's also the $1.7 trillion that he trimmed from the deficit.
00:30:28.020
It used to be that when you got caught in a lie, then you kind of backtrack or you just shut up about it.
00:30:33.300
You don't say it because you don't want to cause anybody to pay attention to the lie.
00:30:46.540
And, you know, adding this onto what we talked about starting the show today, these moments of mental acuity that are noticeable to people who even like him.
00:30:57.220
It creates a heck of a package here because you got someone who's constantly lying and probably doesn't even know what's going on around him often.
00:31:05.620
I mean, are you as bothered as I am, Pat, about the fact that this interview with Biden where he said, where, you know, that led to the, he's an elderly man with poor memory.
00:31:22.400
Which, by the way, we just made shirts of that.
00:31:24.240
If you would like one for the campaign season, stewdoesmerch.com.
00:31:28.240
You can get an elderly man with a poor memory campaign t-shirt.
00:31:34.660
A lot of people will think it's a pro Biden shirt and then they'll get closer and realize it.
00:31:43.480
But when you look at, like, that situation, we have the transcript of that interview is, you know, how we know a lot of the details of it.
00:31:52.000
But they will not, the Biden administration is blocking the release of the audio of it.
00:32:04.120
They are claiming executive privilege to block the release of this.
00:32:10.660
What on earth could possibly be the reason for executive privilege?
00:32:19.480
But, you know, there is a difference between reading a transcript and hearing this audio.
00:32:24.480
And they're like, well, you know, the explanation given is, well, they don't want, you know, Republicans to put it in the ads.
00:32:34.900
That's not a reason to have executive privilege, however.
00:32:39.860
But, like, maybe you could say, well, that's the reason why.
00:32:42.520
They just don't want the audio of him sounding like he's lost it.
00:32:45.500
They can, of course, put the text on the screen.
00:32:51.340
If he was just saying the things that were in the transcript normally, you'd think there'd be no reason.
00:32:58.440
But it's probably one of these situations where he's stuttering all over himself and stammering.
00:33:08.820
You know, he's got, like, one-eighth of one lung that's working right now.
00:33:18.300
Maybe he is able to get up with some concoction of Red Bull and Celsius and get through the day.
00:33:29.220
I want to know what that concoction is, though.
00:33:32.040
That's why I fully support Trump's plan to have a drug test before the debate happens.
00:33:39.620
And he just did a survey about how many Americans want to see that.
00:34:07.920
I mean, maybe you say it's invasive to force them.
00:34:11.220
Like, normally, we don't do that to presidential candidates.
00:34:16.600
I, you know, again, this is a man who has a son who has been addicted to crack.
00:34:24.180
This is a man who had cocaine found at his White House.
00:34:29.280
This is a man who seems to be two or three different people based on what time of the day it is.
00:34:35.720
And sometimes, depending on, like, if he's got a big speech, he's a totally different person.
00:34:47.340
I mean, just from a scientific perspective, the things that happened to Joe Biden from one day to the next, I am fascinated to know.
00:34:56.720
For instance, that's how he got through, I think, that's how he got through the State of the Union speech this year.
00:35:05.200
It was still bad, but I was surprised it wasn't worse than it was.
00:35:12.920
And I thought, meh, he's not going to be able to get through an hour.
00:35:16.480
He's going to keep this thing to 15, 20 minutes.
00:35:20.240
And so, I think, you know, there was some kind of chemical concoction that was running through his system that particular night to make it as good as it was.
00:35:35.840
By the way, there are stories in the Wall Street Journal story about him closing his eyes for so long in a meeting, they thought he had fallen asleep.
00:35:42.940
Now, they didn't confirm he actually was asleep, but that's what they thought.
00:35:47.120
And then, to your point here about the potential substance issues, the performance-enhancing drugs issues you're talking about.
00:35:56.620
When Biden was negotiating with House Republicans to lift the debt ceiling, his demeanor and command of the details seemed to shift from one day to the next, according to then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and two others familiar with the talks.
00:36:08.240
On some days, he had loose and spontaneous exchanges with Republicans, and on others, he mumbled and appeared to rely on notes.
00:36:15.580
Because this is consistent with what you see on television.
00:36:27.760
And the scariest thing about this is, again, you know, this is the guy who's ahead of the free world.
00:36:34.460
Everything that we notice, when you're watching TV and you see Joe Biden have one of these moments, and, you know, maybe it's funny to you, maybe it's sad to you, whatever it is, everything that you notice about that moment is something that people on his team is also noticing.
00:36:54.620
So, what you are seeing is the best possible version where people who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to be around Joe Biden all the time do pull every trick in the book to get him to look as good as you see him.
00:37:15.320
There are people paid, Pat, to make sure his image is strong and virile and, again, he's in his 80s, but, like, as good as you can possibly get to be presented to us, that we see him at his absolute best.
00:37:33.100
There are teams of people who do just this, and what you see on television is the result of that process.
00:37:53.960
Bill Maher, the other day, admitted that killing a baby is murder.
00:37:57.800
I mean, he's okay with it, which I don't know what that says about him.
00:38:01.080
I mean, the honesty is a point in his favor, but there might be some negatives there as well.
00:38:05.060
Look, we've been looking at the issue of abortion for a very long time, and Preborn has been doing the same thing.
00:38:13.880
They've been really, of course, not just blabbing about it on the radio, but doing something about it.
00:38:18.420
They're the largest pro-life organization in the country.
00:38:20.920
And they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.
00:38:24.900
I think a lot of people thought, oh, Roe vs. Wade is overturned.
00:38:29.280
But a bigger part of it is making sure that you can keep these children alive.
00:38:34.960
Preborn sponsors free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.
00:38:41.800
When a mother sees her unborn child on the monitor or hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.
00:38:48.960
If you want to help heal our land and save precious souls, please give generously to Preborn.
00:38:53.920
$28 could be the difference between life and death.
00:38:56.840

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
00:39:38.040
So when was the last time you checked out the title to your home?
00:39:40.380
If the answer is never, you need to know about a fast-growing cyber scam that the FBI calls house stealing.
00:39:46.680
House stealing, home title theft, home title fraud.
00:39:49.680
This is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America.
00:39:51.460
And basically what happens is these people go on, they scam you by taking your stuff,
00:39:59.760
they look at your documents, and they sign their names on them.
00:40:04.520
And they say, hey, everybody, it's me, I own this place.
00:40:09.140
And once they do that, they can take out loans against your equity.
00:40:12.860
They can do all sorts of things against you and make sure that your financial future is ruined.
00:40:18.660
That's why you need protection from this scam, where the equity in our homes is the target.
00:40:22.640
And if no one's watching your home, these scammers can target you.
00:40:25.120
You need triple lock protection from home title lock.
00:40:28.380
And if you're ever a victim of fraud, they have U.S.-based experts that can help make you whole.
00:40:36.600
So check, first of all, to make sure that you're not already a victim of this.
00:40:39.640
A lot of people are victims, don't know for six months.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:01.700
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK.
00:43:07.580
We got day, what, three, I think, of the Hunter Biden trial, right?
00:43:12.500
The good thing is there's going to be no reciprocation here.
00:43:15.660
It ends right here with this trial of this particular person
00:43:29.060
There's not going to be any retaliatory strikes on anybody.
00:43:37.500
That would be vindictive and wrong for people to...
00:43:45.000
Well, as you may have heard, we have a lot of work to do in this country.
00:43:55.440
especially when it comes to fighting against the left's constant efforts
00:44:01.580
But hope persists, and one of the things you can do is patronize businesses
00:44:05.180
who stand for the same principles that you and I stand for.
00:44:08.500
If you switch to Patriot Mobile right now, you're going to get a whole month for free.
00:44:14.920
They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company,
00:44:18.460
and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms
00:44:28.780
Like, this is a company that's telling you that?
00:44:31.080
They're pretty special and really a great group of people doing important work
00:44:35.620
and giving you great cell phone service as well.
00:44:38.100
You don't have to worry about funding leftist causes.
00:44:41.480
You don't have to worry about Planned Parenthood getting your money.
00:44:45.280
Patriot Mobile has an affordable, excellent plan for you,
00:44:48.000
and their 100% U.S.-based customer service team is going to help make switching easy.
00:45:09.480
So you don't think there's going to be any retaliatory strikes with,
00:45:18.640
like Democrats being tried for some sort of bogus charge in the future, do you?
00:45:31.040
Largely because so many people are saying it publicly.
00:45:49.780
and you're in one of these areas where there is a prominent Democrat,
00:45:53.500
who can be looked into in every which way possible to find if they had any technical violation of the law in any way,
00:46:05.500
don't do what normally happens in such a similar case,
00:46:28.960
Like if there's one payment you have a problem with,
00:46:41.400
I don't know what to think about this Trump thing.
00:46:48.920
So not someone who watched the day to day back and forth about the Trump
00:47:02.140
part of me thinks that they're kind of coming after him.
00:47:14.120
Did you know that it was a misdemeanor that was beyond the statute of
00:47:18.340
limitations that they had to convolute for the first time ever using this
00:47:29.160
which they didn't even tell Trump or anyone in the jury about until after
00:47:42.240
Did you know that they didn't even have to agree on what crime it was?
00:47:46.740
They gave them a menu of potential crimes and then didn't allow testimony as to whether
00:48:05.640
that couldn't happen in the United States of America.
00:48:11.740
You're going to be seeing a lot more of that stuff because look,
00:48:15.200
everyone knows the tax code is a great example of this.
00:48:25.300
you probably can find something they did wrong.
00:48:36.640
I was in Mike Lee's office a few weeks ago and he's got,
00:48:40.560
I think it's the regulations of the United States of America just printed out and
00:48:45.860
And it's like as tall as you in three separate containers of just paper,
00:48:53.500
Like this is a situation where you can find something on someone.
00:49:00.620
what we had as a country for a really long time was a nation that didn't do
00:49:23.800
the headline was for the first time in history,
00:49:30.100
a former president is a felon or something like that.
00:49:33.140
and you can understand what they're trying to do with that headline,
00:49:36.980
what that headline says could be one of two things.
00:49:42.200
which is basically to say that Donald Trump is worse than all the other
00:49:46.940
All the other ones somehow got through this and never had this problem.
00:49:52.240
who is worse than all the other presidents is having this issue.
00:49:55.780
And that's what they were trying to do with that headline.
00:49:57.700
But the other thing that that headline may suggest is that the people doing
00:50:02.680
the prosecuting have broken every American tradition we've had for 200 plus
00:50:09.560
The reason why no president before Donald Trump was a felon is because people
00:50:17.520
They didn't try to do this to their political opponents,
00:50:33.860
Every American can come together and become a giant jury to see if he gets the
00:50:39.380
We can all vote on whether we think these quote unquote crimes violate our
00:50:43.980
principles and our morals and we can make the judgment,
00:51:12.800
all of that is not necessarily great to get involved in,
00:51:18.940
but it's hard to argue against it now because you want it to stop.
00:51:24.520
And the only way you're going to get it to stop is to show them,
00:51:33.800
What you just outlined is the high minded version of this.
00:51:37.040
There's an article in the New York times today,
00:51:42.900
Republican leaders in and out of government are publicly pushing to prosecute
00:51:46.500
Democrats as legal retribution for Donald Trump's felony conviction.
00:51:50.620
I am not the type of person who wants that to be.
00:52:09.300
what is your choice to constantly be rolled over by your opponents?
00:52:20.360
have a car drive over you and then back over you again every single day for the rest of your life.
00:52:35.260
the version I think you and I would agree on is outlined by John.
00:52:45.240
most infamous or famous for the torture memos in the Bush administration.
00:52:52.220
Saying that actually like enhanced interrogation can be allowed under certain circumstances.
00:52:57.300
but he says in order to prevent the case against Trump from assuming a permanent place in American
00:53:02.600
Republicans will have to bring charges against democratic officers,
00:53:09.100
He added only retaliation in kind can produce the deterrence necessary to enforce a political
00:53:15.860
version of mutual assured destruction without the threat of prosecution of their own leaders.
00:53:21.160
Democrats will continue to charge future Republican presidents without restraint.
00:53:37.440
Like Donald Trump is different than all the other politicians we've had before.
00:53:44.340
in the fact that if Ron DeSantis is the candidate in 2028,
00:53:48.560
they're going to try to do the same thing to him.
00:53:53.140
They're going to continue to do this and you have to do something to stop them.
00:53:57.980
And the only way you can do it is taking the rules that they designed on the left and applying it to them,
00:54:08.420
making them feel the pain of the policies they support.
00:54:12.380
I would definitely not be in favor of doing this towards some Democrat who wasn't cheering this on.
00:54:19.800
I would want it only applied to people who have publicly cheered this nonsense on.
00:54:37.360
who wants that to be the future of the country.
00:54:52.660
but revenge prosecutions are coming from former senior Trump administration officials
00:54:56.840
and people close to the former president who are expected to play even larger roles in a potential second term.
00:55:06.600
They argue for weaklings who fetishize decency and restraint as a,
00:55:13.400
it's worded by the New York times intentionally this way,
00:55:15.960
that's a powerful line and something to think about.
00:55:19.880
I fetishize decency and restraint as a person when it comes to politics.
00:55:37.320
I can't think of another path to get there other than doing the same things to them that they've requested become part of the political universe.
00:55:57.100
We've tried it the other way where there's no retaliation.
00:56:04.500
Republicans just do comport themselves differently.
00:56:41.120
that anything be done about Menendez and Democrats in those situations.
00:57:12.540
of both sides having issues with these situations.
00:57:28.000
And their justification was essentially Al Capone,
00:57:57.620
I don't like that being the motivation of the government.
00:58:04.200
The guy ran for office saying he was going to do it.
00:58:24.040
unless you want a country that just has Democrats that are not in prison.
00:58:49.020
if you have aches and pains that are hitting you every day,
00:58:54.560

00:59:57.300
another example of the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
01:00:01.440
how did Democrats treat Bill Clinton when he paid Paula,
01:00:34.280
things have changed in the last 25 years or so.
01:00:42.020
I think this is the wrong direction for us to go in,
01:00:45.180
but I fear we're going to go in that direction.
01:00:48.340
look at the Hillary Clinton thing is a good example.
01:00:52.500
Donald Trump went on stage all the time and everyone chanted,
01:01:10.800
I don't think this is going to be a repeat of last time.
01:01:18.620
He's going to put people in these roles that are not going to feel the
01:01:23.400
restraint of these traditions where we haven't gone after our political
01:01:28.300
How can he possibly think to respect those rules and those traditions?
01:01:36.420
He's been the victim of all of them dissolving in front of all of our eyes.
01:01:41.280
So you think Donald Trump's not going to put somebody in office that's going to
01:01:45.200
make sure they are super aggressive against people like Hillary Clinton?
01:01:50.520
When you have the little oopsie with the business records on your campaign,
01:01:54.760
you think that's going to be just dismissed now?
01:02:00.520
And every one of his aides is cheering it on in this article.
01:02:14.180
you should be able to be victorious with your 90 year old candidate.
01:02:20.640
they're so pathetic that they had to ruin our entire system of government to get
01:02:46.860
So much that they're willing to compromise our entire system.
01:02:53.200
our everything we've known over the last 247 years.
01:03:01.840
We're told that Donald Trump doesn't respect the institutions.
01:03:04.200
How can you even make that argument when you're comparing the two?
01:03:12.640
just because they just don't want to go out and win.
01:03:16.340
They don't want any opposition in their primaries.
01:03:22.680
And now they want to take him and put him in prison to try to,
01:03:39.140
antisemitism has been on the rise and not just in Israel,
01:03:41.880
but here at home in the United States and of course,
01:03:45.640
That's why we've partnered with the international fellowship of
01:03:49.160
And today we're coming to you to ask the stand with the IFCJ and take a
01:03:53.000
pledge to raise your voice just as Oscar Schindler and Corey Ten Boom did.
01:03:57.580
The pledge is asking Christians to stand with their Jewish brothers and
01:04:00.420
sisters and never be silent to show the Jewish people that they are not alone.
01:04:10.820
which will be delivered to the president of Israel and will show that
01:04:14.620
Christians in America are not only standing in solidarity,
01:04:19.800
Let's make the stand today with international fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:04:23.160
This is just one more opportunity for us as Americans and Christians to be on the right
01:04:28.940
You can sign the pledge now at support ifcj.org support ifcj.org.
01:04:35.940
The rest of the world is abandoning Israel right now.
01:04:37.920
Let's not be on that bandwagon support ifcj.org is the place to go.
01:04:44.460
Don't miss blaze TV's new docu-series with Matt Kibbe,
01:04:48.380
the cover-up exposing Fauci for what he is a liar.
01:05:26.000
Anybody who's into college sports should know that college sports are about to radically change.
01:05:33.520
It's already, they've already changed quite a bit.
01:05:37.020
I've noticed some changes over the past couple of years.
01:05:40.700
They've changed a lot, but they're going to change a lot more.
01:06:00.000
And Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA, all in the Big Ten.
01:06:07.960
Like Pennsylvania, they'll be playing Penn State, they'll play Ohio State, they'll play Rutgers.
01:06:14.080
I mean, there's going to be a lot of cross-country trips.
01:06:17.340
And I'm wondering if that's sustainable, frankly.
01:06:21.600
Because that's a lot of travel and a lot of expense and a lot of wear and tear on your body.
01:06:35.920
None of these conferences haven't been saying the same for a long time.
01:06:38.940
You no longer have those static conferences where you have these real battles between
01:06:49.040
It's one of the reasons why I think it's not as good as it once was.
01:06:55.640
I mean, the conference alignment is like the smallest piece of this puzzle.
01:07:00.700
The NIL money, the name, image, and likeness, they now pay the players for their name, image,
01:07:10.900
Starting next year, the NCAA was just sued because former players sued them because they
01:07:19.800
They didn't get the NIL and they were denied all of that.
01:07:25.940
So they're going to have to pay these 14,000 former athletes from this pool of almost $3
01:07:33.400
And what came out of that is that now the colleges can pay the athletes directly.
01:07:42.940
They think it's going to be around $20 million a year that they can spread out among all the
01:07:47.440
football players, basketball players, whoever else they pay.
01:07:50.860
Hockey players, tennis, baseball, whatever sport you do, you can pay your athletes now
01:08:00.700
And it's just going to change everything so drastically.
01:08:03.420
Essentially, what's happening is the college sports are becoming minor league for the major
01:08:18.100
They didn't ask me about it, though, in advance.
01:08:27.360
So, because the minor leagues are great, obviously, for certain reasons.
01:08:35.480
So, the question, I guess, is like, once you turn it into a minor league, does it just
01:08:40.400
become less interesting professional baseball, which is just not...
01:08:51.520
You know, the UFL exists, and people don't really watch it.
01:08:55.760
And, you know, there's other basketball leagues that people don't watch, and minor league baseball
01:09:02.920
They want to see either the best amateurs or the best professionals, not the second
01:09:13.140
So, it's going to change, fundamentally change, college athletics.
01:09:17.720
And the other thing they're doing is, apparently, they're going to limit the roster size a little
01:09:23.480
bit for football, especially because there's 120 roster spots now on the big schools' rosters.
01:09:33.620
They're going to bring it down to either 100 or maybe even 85.
01:09:36.680
But it looks like everybody on the team will be under scholarship.
01:09:42.100
There's usually 30 or 40 guys who are just what they call walk-ons.
01:09:46.860
They didn't get a scholarship, but they came and tried out for the team, made the team,
01:09:53.660
How many movies have they made about walk-on football players?
01:09:56.860
And how many times have walk-ons gone to the NFL and done really well?
01:10:10.140
I don't know if we've ever talked about this, but I'm of the belief that the Supreme
01:10:13.660
Court was right in that you cannot limit people from going out and signing their name, autographs
01:10:24.580
after they're, you know, like, you know, a great football player goes to school, they
01:10:28.540
get a scholarship, they're unpaid, and then they can't go out and make an appearance for
01:10:33.840
a few thousand dollars at a car wash, you know, like, I'm sorry, like, you can't, that's
01:10:38.040
like just unconstitutional limiting of people's lives.
01:10:42.120
You don't get to control their lives like that.
01:10:44.440
If they want to go out and get another job and they want to, you know, and that job
01:10:48.300
is making public appearances because they're a really good football player, you can't
01:10:56.460
But this is just changing the entire structure of the sport.
01:10:59.620
And it's going to hurt the smaller schools who can't afford to pay $20 million to their
01:11:05.420
So you're either going to have to pay the $20 million or $22 million, whatever it winds up
01:11:10.040
And you're going to either have to do it or you won't be able to compete because the
01:11:15.040
big schools will get all the best players because they'll offer them a lot of money.
01:11:18.920
And what's the reasoning for like the NFL to care if you went to college and got paid?
01:11:24.820
Like there was always this idea that you had to go to school and you'd have this development
01:11:29.980
and you'd go through that process at least one or two years of college before you come
01:11:37.220
Why wouldn't they just go to a minor league sport, you know, a franchise?
01:11:43.560
And then it does strike me as like at the end of this, college football is like 12 teams
01:11:52.680
Like there's probably, you're going to wind up with just a bunch of really wealthy schools
01:12:04.700
And then there'll be really nothing else outside of that.
01:12:14.220
Kyle Whittingham, who's the coach of the Godless Animals, University of Utah, said yesterday
01:12:20.540
when he was interviewed, I can promise you right now there are even bigger and more changes
01:12:29.460
You're going to see the minor league model for college athletics.
01:12:34.100
It's going to, so it's, what he's saying is it's going to be the minor leagues for all
01:12:43.300
And in two to five years, it's going to be so different, you won't even recognize it.
01:12:49.140
Well, I don't want it to be that different where I love it.
01:12:57.820
But everybody's saying, look, you might as well not complain about it because it's a terrain
01:13:08.300
I mean, so if you start paying athletes, are you going to have to pay exactly the same
01:13:12.880
to the women's sports that you do to the men's?
01:13:17.960
No, but yeah, Title IX will be, that would be, again, they use Title IX for everything,
01:13:22.120
but that would be about as close to a pure violation of Title IX as possible.
01:13:27.760
I think Title IX is dumb, by the way, for a lot of this stuff.
01:13:34.900
But you see the handwriting on the wall already.
01:13:38.620
They're going to insist that you pay women's sports, even though women's sports, just
01:13:49.820
But I will say, Caitlin Clark, I mean, had the highest rated basketball game of any,
01:14:03.660
And, you know, I mean, like, look, there are certain sports that, you know, women do really
01:14:09.160
You know, like, I mean, women's tennis has always been pretty popular.
01:14:19.620
You know, you're starting to see a little bit of this bubble up in the WNBA.
01:14:23.260
And what can they, what do they do as you're seeing all this attention go to the WNBA?
01:14:29.140
Finally, after all these years of it just fledgling and just being just, you know, supported
01:14:38.140
They're in the middle of negotiating this contract for TV rights, which they are now
01:14:45.180
going to get, which is incredible, two and a half times as much money as they got in their
01:14:51.180
The ratings are going down, down, but they're getting, because no, no, I mean, they're going
01:14:56.940
down less than the rest of the programming that's on television.
01:15:00.280
And so they're getting two and a half times as much for NBA games for fewer games with
01:15:10.580
ESPN, I think, if I remember this right, is paying like a hundred percent premium on what
01:15:22.380
But the reason I brought up that negotiation is because right now to show you what not a
01:15:27.760
big deal the WNBA is, it's just lumped in to that negotiation.
01:15:33.180
So when they negotiate the NBA contract, it's like, ah, you also get the WNBA.
01:15:36.520
And then the NBA just gets to do a press release going, by the way, the hundred million dollars
01:15:50.040
It's kind of a fascinating structure, but the point is that like, they can't even stand
01:15:55.820
Now, all this was obviously happening before Caitlin Clark became a thing, and that would
01:16:00.100
have been maybe a motivation to take it out a little bit wider.
01:16:04.700
But at the end of the day, what is the WNBA doing with this gift they've been given of Caitlin
01:16:11.160
They're complaining about it constantly and targeting her and trying to injure her on the
01:16:17.800
Uh, and it's, it's interesting because the NBA is a $10 billion a year revenue generator.
01:16:27.080
Now, up until this point, the WNBA has been a $60 million event.
01:16:34.320
And to be clear, that number is the number that comes from the NBA when they just make
01:16:38.080
it up and they say, uh, $60 million of this is the WNBA.
01:16:45.580
It's just like there's breaking up a chunk of that big deal.
01:16:49.360
But this new one, they're saying it's going to be $76 billion over 11 years.
01:16:56.640
They don't get the kind of ratings that warrant that.
01:17:05.360
So TBS, yeah, it looks like TBS, there's a multi-part deal.
01:17:11.800
Um, ESPN is already locked in, is my understanding.
01:17:14.940
And then there's, there's sort of a battle between Turner and, um, and NBC.
01:17:22.280
NBC offered, I think, $2.5 billion for their part of it.
01:17:27.120
And, uh, TNT offered, had, was on the, they were talking about like $2.1 or something like
01:17:33.560
My understanding is Turner has a right to match that though.
01:17:38.200
But right now it looks like NBC is going to get it.
01:17:39.940
Bottom line is, you know, you've got a bunch of, it's a nice way, it's a nice place to
01:17:45.960
Because what else do people watch on television anymore other than live sports?
01:17:50.500
All the rest of it can be, you know, is consumed in different ways, right?
01:17:53.280
They skip commercials and, you know, all that stuff.
01:17:57.140
And what was it last year, um, the, something like, of the top 100 TV shows, 80 of them?
01:18:12.240
Like what, how, and they only got $10 billion for their TV deal.
01:18:18.000
Imagine how much they would get in today's market when the NBA is getting $7 billion?
01:18:26.020
When it comes to getting the most comfortable night's sleep that you can, uh, you know,
01:18:32.000
Glenn's learned over the years that you should accept no substitutes.
01:18:34.300
That means sleeping on the best pillows, the most comfortable sheets.
01:18:36.940
It means revolutionizing the way you sleep with products from MyPillow.
01:18:43.420
Uh, MyPillow has been, I mean, I will tell you, just last night had the MySlippers on.
01:18:51.600
Uh, they've got tons of great stuff you're going to love.
01:18:54.260

01:19:01.560

Glenn's newsletter is free and full of useful info delivered every day right to your inbox.
01:20:27.960
Uh, we would maybe get into today, Pat, there's been some developments in the Hunter Biden
01:20:39.200
Do you know that there, all he wanted, Pat, was to be able to paint.
01:20:46.720
A lot of times paint, you know, in cocaine on strippers' bellies, but, you know, he wanted
01:20:55.680
All he wanted to do was paint and make $500,000 a painting, and they won't even give him that.
01:21:03.100
It's not like he was asking $500 million per painting.
01:21:18.200
There's so many details in there that don't make any sense to me, Pat.
01:21:25.160
I, I don't, I wish this is, one day I wish Glenn Beck was here, because here's a guy
01:21:29.680
who actually is selling very expensive paintings across the country.
01:21:39.960
Just, I hesitate to say that, because it makes me uncomfortable to call him talented.
01:21:43.760
But, you know, like, he's been doing this for a while, and you have these relationships
01:21:48.080
with these galleries, and this is a weird world.
01:21:50.420
The art world's a weird world from, from beginning to end to me.
01:21:54.460
I have no, certainly no ability in the realm, but also I just don't, like, who are the people
01:22:01.340
I don't even, I don't even understand what that world is.
01:22:05.260
And if I had the $100,000 to blow on a painting, the last thing I would buy with it would be
01:22:13.380
Potentially, maybe you can snort the painting when it's Hunter Biden.
01:22:18.980
But we have some interesting details about these paintings we've never known before.
01:23:06.920
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:18.580
With Patton Stewart today and all week, we've got to get into the Hunter Biden situation.
01:23:27.280
First of all, he's on trial for his gun charge right now.
01:23:46.520
One of the most important artists in the country.
01:24:07.060
But we'll have to do the art discussion without him.
01:24:16.200
That kind of mentality you have to have when you're making big, important decisions in your life.
01:24:20.080
So when it's time for you to buy or sell a home or both, it's also the mentality you're going to want to have in your real estate agent.
01:24:26.200
Because if you have an agent who is anything short of a perfectionist and a hard worker, you're just begging to get less for the home that you're selling or to pay more for the one you're buying.
01:24:37.880
A little over a decade ago, when Glenn was named the 100th most important person in the world of art.
01:24:43.200
It was right around that time that he started realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:24:47.220
And, you know, look, he sets up the best agents in your area with you.
01:24:50.820
It's called realestateagentsitrust.com for obvious reasons.
01:24:54.320
And you should check them out today, whether you're moving across town or across the country, or if you just have questions that need answering, they can help you.
01:25:11.580
So today is day three of the Hunter Biden gun trial.
01:25:19.620
And for the first two days, I don't know if she's showing up today, but Jill Biden has been there.
01:25:24.240
She was there for the jury selection, and she showed up again yesterday staring down the jury.
01:25:30.260
And there are people who are saying she's there for an intimidation factor.
01:25:37.460
Just like Joe Biden went to Hallie Biden's house.
01:25:49.720
So almost nine years since the death of Joe Biden's son, Beau, who Hallie celebrated that death with sleeping with Hunter.
01:26:06.360
This is while he was doing the illegal gun purchases?
01:26:13.040
So if you kind of trace this story back, Beau Biden passes away.
01:26:17.720
The obvious response to that, if you're a grieved lover, is to sleep with the brother, obviously.
01:26:26.380
And I remember how awkward that was when the Bidens had to release a statement on that.
01:26:37.620
Hunter went on to, you know, to impregnate some strippers.
01:26:41.060
But they were happy for about a minute and a half.
01:26:45.180
And during that time, they were both doing crack, we should point out.
01:26:51.020
And then as Hunter was battling the crack addiction, and this is part of the trial that
01:26:58.660
is up for debate, but Hunter is claiming he was not addicted to drugs at this time.
01:27:03.680
Of course, every other piece of evidence we have indicates that he was addicted to crack
01:27:09.220
She found the gun and decided to just throw it out.
01:27:21.840
So she dropped the gun off in like some disposal unit, some trash can or a dumpster or something.
01:27:29.880
And that's how these charges eventually were brought.
01:27:33.580
I heard a podcast this morning discussing this, and they're like, well, I mean, if Joe Biden's
01:27:38.800
just, you know, controlling the Department of Justice, he's still doing a bad job, his
01:27:46.460
Did you miss the entire news cycle where they tried to slip through a deal that would have
01:27:55.260
Did you miss the news cycle where that was discussed?
01:27:59.740
I mean, they blatantly tried to make this go away.
01:28:02.380
It did not go away just because one judge, one good judge actually decided to look at
01:28:09.480
I mean, that is really the only reason we're here.
01:28:11.660
And honestly, the gun crime is lower on the list for me than the tax stuff, which I really
01:28:17.740
hope they get to because, man, that guy did not pay a lot of taxes.
01:28:33.180
It was somewhere between $1 and $3 million in alimony he owes her.
01:28:42.480
And, yeah, is that the stripper wife or the other wife?
01:28:46.840
The stripper wife, they had some sort of agreement.
01:28:51.100
And that seemed to take care of everything because they're so, so, so, so valuable.
01:28:56.140
I will say, one thing, if you have not heard this little detail I think you're going to
01:28:59.440
like, is we have a tell-all book coming out from Stripper Wife.
01:29:09.040
That is coming out during the Democratic National Convention.
01:29:14.260
That is when they're releasing it for maximum impact, obviously.
01:29:19.480
But you brought up the paintings, Pat, and I'm so glad you did.
01:29:22.000
You know, as Hunter Biden's life and business dealings have come under increasing scrutiny
01:29:28.180
in recent years, leading to this week's trial on gun charges, the president's son has said
01:29:32.740
he hoped to keep one part of his life unscathed.
01:29:57.760
Mr. Biden, who began to paint in earnest as he lifted himself out of his crack cocaine
01:30:04.300
addiction, started attracting attention for his art three years ago after a Manhattan
01:30:09.660
gallery selling his works claimed they were being offered up for $500,000 a piece.
01:30:15.200
This is a great, you know, you know how sometimes words in a sentence can do a lot of work.
01:30:24.140
Mr. The high price tag, $500,000 painting, rare for a novice artist.
01:30:32.060
Now, the heavy lifting the word rare is doing in that particular sentence is just incredible.
01:30:38.620
But yes, $500,000 a painting is rare for a novice artist.
01:30:50.560
Has it ever occurred that a novice, the first time they're out there selling their art,
01:31:03.640
I'll say, like, if Taylor Swift had a painting, her first painting.
01:31:15.960
So, it's rare for an novice artist to get $500,000 in case you're not into the art world.
01:31:21.260
And it raised questions about whether the works could attract buyers seeking to curry favor
01:31:35.820
But in the end, Pat, we have some news, if you don't know this.
01:31:41.960
In the end, Mr. Biden's paintings fetched far less.
01:31:54.580
He testified to Congress that the widely reported $500,000 asking prices that were attributed to the gallery,
01:32:00.060
including in two emails to the New York Times, one of which was sent in his name.
01:32:07.400
So, it seems like maybe they're the cause of this.
01:32:11.860
He said the top price he had received for Mr. Biden's work had, in fact, been only $85,000.
01:32:21.840
You know, I will say, you know what is interesting about $85,000?
01:32:33.680
And there's no addressing this in the New York Times story.
01:32:36.720
And I really wish Glenn was here today, because this is the ultimate question to ask Glenn,
01:32:48.700
In all, the gallery sold about $1.5 million worth of his art.
01:32:59.780
This is according to a tally during a hearing that the gallerist did not dispute.
01:33:05.700
Mr. Biden's earnings proved more modest than the early hype had suggested.
01:33:10.040
He reported $130,984 in gross income from art sales during the first two tax years he was represented by the gallery.
01:33:25.880
Now, I don't know how these gallery listings work.
01:33:37.180
If you happen to have your own art gallery, we'd love to hear from you.
01:33:43.860
If you've been in this world, maybe you're a novice artist that can only get $75,000 per painting.
01:33:50.880
Even that level of experience would be interesting to me today, Pat.
01:33:57.360
You're selling your stuff for only $75,000 a piece?
01:34:06.060
But, you know, I would be interested to hear from you because my understanding of how this works is you are putting up your stuff in a gallery.
01:34:18.860
They're probably getting some commission off of that, right?
01:34:28.220
He sold $1.5 million of art and got $130,000 for it?
01:34:47.700
Maybe that includes paying for the paint and the brushes, though.
01:35:00.940
gosh, even making $130,000, that's gotta be rare for a novice artist.
01:35:11.400
But when you look at the details of it, it gets even more interesting.
01:35:16.120
The biggest buyer of the Biden art was Kevin Morris,
01:35:21.880
a Hollywood lawyer who described himself in congressional testimony
01:35:32.780
In previous news stories, we've learned this guy has lent Hunter Biden
01:35:54.940
This guy has bought 11 paintings of Hunter Biden's worth $875,000.
01:36:04.320
So more than half of all the money has gone to this guy
01:36:08.200
who has also lent the same artist over $7 million.
01:36:31.640
He's basically been buying these for more than anyone else is buying them for.
01:36:35.600
A lawyer for Mr. Morris said in a January letter that Mr. Morris had spent more than $6.5 million,
01:36:41.920
almost $7 million, including paying his back taxes and resolving a paternity lawsuit by the
01:36:59.960
He's not just like, hey, how many millions of dollars do you need right now?
01:37:08.660
No, I've got, of course I've got a sugar buddy.
01:37:30.380
So sugar buddies will just pay you to be friends?
01:37:38.240
I think it is a valuable thing, but I've never paid you.
01:37:44.780
So you're trying to convert me into a sugar buddy?
01:37:55.400
I mean, look, my mind can jump to a hundred different conclusions as to what's going on here.
01:38:03.160
The only explanations to this arrangement haven't even been accused.
01:38:08.240
I can think of some reasons, but no one's said any of those things are the reason.
01:38:21.600
How can that not be a thing that people are talking about?
01:38:31.520
Let me just tell you about CarShield real quick.
01:38:39.340
Things like broken AC, overheating, electrical issues.
01:38:42.180
I mean, an AC compressor by itself, over 900 bucks.
01:38:46.640
Even a window switch, the motor can cost you 500 bucks for almost two decades.
01:38:52.200
CarShield has been there helping millions of drivers avoid the stress of major repairs.
01:38:56.780
They got an A- rating from the Better Business Bureau.
01:38:59.360
And they offer plans covering up to 5,000 parts and systems from your engine to your transmission
01:39:04.280
to the electronics and more for a low monthly rate that fits your budget.
01:39:08.720
CarShield plans, I mean, they also include unlimited miles, 24-7 roadside assistance, rental
01:39:15.680
Call them, 800-227-6100, 800-227-6100, or go to carshield.com slash Beck today.
01:39:24.060
CarShield gets its A rating from the Better Business Bureau by doing just that.
01:39:28.420
Their experienced phone representatives will answer your questions and set you up with an
01:39:32.660
affordable plan that fits your financial needs.
01:39:34.980
Ask them about services like 24-7 roadside assistance, courtesy towing, and rental car options.
01:39:39.500
If your car is 20 years old or newer, 800-227-6100, 800-227-6100, or carshield.com slash Beck.
01:39:50.260
I mean, what would be the logical, reasonable explanation for the sugar buddy?
01:40:08.040
They're just good friends, and he felt really bad that Hunter lost a job in Ukraine.
01:40:14.640
Where he was making them like $1.5 million a year, inexplicably, for no reason.
01:40:25.920
Like, let's just say it was not $7 million, but it was $50,000, okay?
01:40:40.140
If it was even, I don't know, maybe it was Elon Musk, $6.5 million, not in a big deal
01:41:08.100
Well, I mean, if they're going to ask somebody, they should ask you.
01:41:18.720
I mean, it seems like a great thing to have, I will admit.
01:41:22.000
If someone was just going to give me $6.5 million to just be friends and hang out every once
01:41:26.500
in a while, I mean, I probably could tolerate it.
01:41:39.080
Like, they have those little subreddits that discuss all these different things.
01:41:56.520
Like, I was on the Instagram and someone offered me $12,000 a month just to text with them.
01:42:08.280
Every single thing posted in the forum is always a scam.
01:42:14.920
Oh, I had a picture that I posted and someone said they wanted to paint me and offer me $5,000.
01:42:27.240
I just started talking to someone and they said they wanted me to invest in their unnamed cryptocurrency scam that I've never heard of.
01:42:41.300
I have the same feeling, reading this, this guy giving $6.5 million to the president's son and buying 11 of his paintings for $875,000 when he has now no more money left.
01:43:03.240
The only explanation for this, outside of their hooking up with each other, which again has not been alleged...
01:43:12.620
Something sexual could motivate some of this type of behavior, potentially.
01:43:25.420
And how many times have I read an article that goes, well, they're just friends.
01:43:29.560
I guarantee you, Hunter Biden's not worth $7 million sexually.
01:43:47.680
Like, what's the top amount you get from one of your sugar buddies?
01:44:01.180
If you have any ideas as to what could possibly be going on here, I would love to hear them.
01:44:13.860
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:44:17.640
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:44:23.080
There's a pretty good chance that they will get worse at some point, probably pretty soon, like tomorrow.
01:44:27.980
But sometimes, you know, they could also get better, especially if you plan correctly.
01:44:31.560
You know, if you imagine that you're not already there, but what would it be like to get completely out of debt?
01:44:37.660
If you're a homeowner, chances are good that American financing knows how to get you to that place.
01:44:43.140
You need to look at your spending, your finances, your debt.
01:44:45.820
Better yet, let American financing do that work for you.
01:44:49.640
They've helped lots of people just like you get out from under the debt burden and start to realize significant savings.
01:44:54.980
Well, the economy is tough right now, and everything's going nuts.
01:44:59.560
You know, Bidenomics, not exactly working as well as projected.
01:45:02.780
But if you can find ways to make your situation better, you should take advantage of them.
01:45:08.680
And if you do, you're going to have to make next month's mortgage payment.
01:45:12.280
There is honest, honest, honest companies like American Financing doing hard work for the economy.
01:45:17.880
Get in touch with them now, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.
01:45:46.680
Pat and Stu for Glenn today, 888-727-BECK, actually.
01:45:58.040
You know, the trustworthiness of Dr. Anthony Fauci has been up for debate for a long time.
01:46:03.000
I think you and I know that despite the media's campaign to defend his character, there's a lot of suspicious stuff going on behind the scenes.
01:46:12.220
We know that statistics were inflated, and we know that Fauci is tied into all of it.
01:46:18.100
And he's been tied into other things as well over the years, dating all the way back to the 80s.
01:46:24.580
If scientists, doctors, or journalists spoke out against Dr. Fauci, they were silenced immediately.
01:46:32.620
And how is the messaging so perfectly coordinated so quickly?
01:46:49.720
Use the code FAUCIELIED to get $30 off your annual subscription to Blaze TV.
01:47:04.580
So definitely something you want to go check out.
01:47:20.620
Get $30 off your subscription to Blaze TV and get access to this really important series.
01:47:32.960
And I should note that Glenn is in the Radio Hall of Fame.
01:47:40.440
He always has perfect knowledge of the facts just at his fingertips.
01:47:50.220
He's always done all the research and always knows every little bit of a story.
01:48:11.180
In the story, I was talking about Kevin Morris, this lawyer who's just inexplicably...
01:48:24.940
He bought 11 paintings for $875,000 from Hunter Biden.
01:48:29.400
And you might say, well, there's got to be some explanation.
01:48:34.900
And we kept saying, you know, I can't think of one.
01:48:37.320
But what happened was I didn't read far enough into the article.
01:48:40.020
And that's the mistake that you make when you're not in the Radio Hall of Fame.
01:48:43.740
That's how you don't get into the Radio Hall of Fame.
01:48:54.320
But it's the entire sugar buddy situation, I think.
01:49:09.360
And we might not even have talked about it because it was so obvious.
01:49:17.140
I mean, he wants to support first-time artists.
01:49:21.080
How many first-time artists has he spent $7 million on?
01:49:32.580
Because he's supported so many first-time artists to the tune of $7 million.
01:49:40.660
With just like, you know, doodles from children, random people drawing on napkins, and 11 Hunter Biden paintings for $875,000.
01:49:55.480
I'm really disappointed in myself for even thinking that there was a presidential favor thing, access to the president sort of angle on that.
01:50:04.860
It does sort of feel like that would be part of it.
01:50:07.240
But no, they're just sugar buddies slash first-time artist supporters.
01:50:10.740
I mean, seriously, how many times do you say this to yourself in a day, Pat?
01:50:31.640
This guy, he just met at seemingly like a party, and he felt bad for him.
01:50:37.040
This is the telling in the story, felt bad for him because he was unemployed, and decided to loan him over the period of years $7,000,000.
01:50:44.760
And not $7,000,000 of his multi-billion dollar fortune, but $7,000,000 of his $7,000,000 fortune.
01:51:02.680
It's not a thing that happens unless you add in additional parts of it, which in this particular case happens to be he likes to support first-time artists.
01:51:18.420
And by the way, they do get into some detail on the art split, which I think is pretty interesting.
01:51:23.380
Again, here's a guy who is currently on trial for gun charges, has all sorts of problems with taxes as well.
01:51:36.160
The IRS, sorry, Kevin Morris paid millions of dollars in taxes for Hunter Biden.
01:51:44.520
But in this story, they discussed that he sold $1.5 million in art and an income to Hunter Biden, not $1.5 million, but $130,000, which is what, 8%?
01:52:09.880
But as someone who's wanting to enter the Radio Hall of Fame someday, Pat, I have uncovered some of the details of the split.
01:52:20.240
The gallery's first contract with Mr. Biden gave Ms. Phillips 10% of the net proceeds from his art and described her as an artist's agent.
01:52:32.440
She's a music video producer who hosted a fundraiser for President Biden in 2019.
01:52:41.520
And it said that she first met Mr. Biden and Mrs. Phillips, or Mr. Morris, who bought the 11 works, met at the Ms. Phillips fundraiser.
01:52:48.460
So, again, to set this up, Phillips is a big fundraiser for Biden.
01:52:54.120
This other guy, the sugar buddy, steps into the picture and then is like, I feel bad.
01:52:58.460
He's got people, paparazzi taking pictures of him and he doesn't have a job.
01:53:04.800
Then Phillips gets 10% of the net proceeds from the art as the agent.
01:53:22.000
Specifies a 60-40 split between the gallery and Mr. Biden.
01:53:38.300
Because just in my head, that seems like tax evasion to me.
01:53:47.080
I am not accusing him of that because I don't have all the records.
01:53:49.660
But I will say, based on this reporting, it seems like, as Harry Reid might say, it doesn't
01:54:01.080
Maybe there's some other detail that the New York Times is missing.
01:54:04.380
The only other detail that could possibly explain it is if they're lying about the total take,
01:54:16.420
And we have another, we have a woman in here as well, who, I think it's a woman.
01:54:21.560
Another buyer, William Jacquez, spent $122,000.
01:54:48.220
Another buyer whose purchases have drawn notice is Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, a real estate
01:54:54.460
Once again, all these people are Democratic donors.
01:54:56.540
Who's contributed regularly to the Biden campaign.
01:54:58.580
She purchased two of Biden's paintings, buying at least one of them before the president
01:55:02.060
appointed her to an unpaid position on the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's
01:55:14.960
How has nobody tracked this down in mainstream media?
01:55:18.680
I mean, I guess the New York Times has done some of this work.
01:55:20.940
They don't seem to be skeptical of any of these arrangements, though.
01:55:27.980
He can't believe his art time got taken away from him.
01:55:30.460
But Ms. Naftali spent $42,000 and $52,000 on these paintings.
01:55:47.000
I think that means Biden-Hunter gets 60% of it, right?
01:55:54.420
That would still be $436,000 in which he reported on his taxes, according to the New
01:56:00.080
York Times, $130,000, which is, you know, a little bit more than a third of his actual
01:56:11.000
It's very possible the New York Times has just made 35 mistakes in this article.
01:56:17.060
But gosh, it just seems like maybe the truth is that Hunter Biden isn't paying his taxes
01:56:21.780
or isn't paying them to the level that he should be paying them.
01:56:25.800
And it certainly seems like multiple people have been funneling money to Hunter Biden through
01:56:32.400
his artwork and other forms like sugar buddy arrangements for something.
01:56:37.720
And getting placed by the president in key positions.
01:56:43.640
At least one of them has been placed in a position.
01:56:45.640
I mean, I don't know how high profile it is, but...
01:56:56.120
But still, you know, you get some kind of position out of that.
01:56:58.740
I mean, I will say, as a person who did apply for a position on the U.S. Commission for the
01:57:06.280
Preservation of Native American Heritage Abroad, I was in the running for that position.
01:57:12.500
And now I find out that she spent $94,000 on these paintings and got that gig.
01:57:18.780
You know, I was trying to do this the right way, Pat.
01:57:25.360
How many times have I talked about wanting to be on the U.S. Commission for the Preservation
01:57:31.600
If you listen to my show, Studios America, I do a segment every day called The Preservation
01:57:38.760
People call me on a regular basis and say, Pat, can you please talk to Stu about backing
01:57:47.920
I just have a real passion for America's heritage, particularly when it's abroad.
01:57:57.300
You know, I've been thinking, how do I preserve this abroad?
01:58:01.440
Like, for example, as you know, I've been thinking for a long time, how do we get copies of the
01:58:12.440
I've been trying to get that done for a really long time.
01:58:18.520
So I've worked my entire life to get on this commission.
01:58:22.360
And now I find out that this woman is just buying paintings to get on there.
01:58:27.960
Do we or do we not care about America's heritage abroad?
01:58:49.800
It's preserved at a lower rate than it should be preserved.
01:59:16.300
New estimates show that more than 1 million babies were killed by abortion in 2023.
01:59:20.960
That is the highest amount of abortions since 2012.
01:59:24.260
The overturning of Roe has only made them more ravenous for the blood of babies.
01:59:28.740
We have to fight back against this evil and stand up against it.
01:59:31.880
When they say, shout abortion, we should shout life.
01:59:35.860
Well, we join hands with Preborn, the largest pro-life organization in the country that sponsors ultrasounds for clinics in the highest abortion rate areas.
01:59:44.320
When a mom is considering abortion, when she meets her baby on an ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, it doubles the baby's chance for life.
01:59:51.080
By the time I finish this ad, two babies will have been taken by this tragedy.
01:59:55.420
$28 could be the difference between life and death.
01:59:59.100
Join the fight by sponsoring one or two or even 200 ultrasounds.
02:00:04.340
To donate, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.
02:00:32.420
Are some people claiming that Joe Biden last week visited Hallie Biden, Bo's widow, and they were saying that he, well, the administration says he was there for the anniversary, in advance of the anniversary of Bo's death, the ninth anniversary of his death.
02:01:01.480
Well, that's what you do with an anniversary, especially a big one like the ninth.
02:01:09.900
And really, it's not even the day of the ninth anniversary.
02:01:25.740
That's what I sensed from you, was that you had no idea that the testifying thing was about to happen.
02:01:38.200
They didn't even bring that up, her testimony in the trial of his son, Hunter.
02:01:43.620
And of course, if the opposite were true, if it was a Trump trial and the president of the United States came to it...
02:01:50.760
They would then definitely also give Trump the benefit of the doubt on that, that he wasn't trying to intimidate him with this.
02:01:57.160
And how about if Trump is lying about, say, one of his sons who died and claiming that his son died in battle in Iraq when he didn't, when he died of cancer in the United States of America, I'm sure they'd completely forgive that, too.
02:02:29.200
And they just buy it when he says, no, no, we were there to talk about the anniversary of Bo's death.
02:02:39.880
He's apparently very into this trial, by the way, Joe Biden.
02:02:43.600
He's not at the actual location, which would be a circus, obviously.
02:02:47.640
But he is very much in touch with him, watching as it develops, you know, on top of it.
02:02:53.340
Of course, he, I mean, my belief is that he tried to get him off through this deal earlier and it didn't work.
