00:00:56.000 it's pat and jeffy for glenn this week 888-727-BECK great to have you with us thanks for

00:01:08.460 being here uh president trump talked about the latest on iran talked about quite a few things

00:01:15.660 uh yesterday talked about maybe becoming the prime minister of israel as well get into that

00:01:22.160 and lots more coming up in 60 seconds ask dad what he wants for father's day and he'll say

00:01:28.240 something like oh i don't know i'm i'm fine i don't need anything meanwhile this is the guy

00:01:34.320 who spent the last 20 years preparing for hypothetical situations that have never actually

00:01:38.640 occurred he's got flashlights strategically located extra batteries a toolbox that could

00:01:45.760 repair a small submarine he knows three different ways to shut off the water to the house and he

00:01:50.880 He treats bad weather like it's a personal challenge from God, because that's what dads do.

00:01:56.000 They want to feel prepared, which is why I think rapid radios are actually a great Father's Day gift.

00:02:01.760 They're simple, they're practical, and genuinely useful.

00:02:05.860 You don't need a license, you don't have to have anything programmed, and there are no monthly fees.

00:02:11.920 You just turn them on and start talking.

00:02:14.280 And whether it's for travel, camping, road trips, family events, or real emergencies,

00:02:20.040 they're the kind of thing a dad immediately understands the value of.

00:02:23.020 Because deep down, most dads are always thinking the same thing.

00:02:26.640 If something goes wrong, I want to be ready.

00:02:30.200 Go to rapidradios.com.

00:02:32.400 They ship really fast from their headquarters in Michigan.

00:02:34.960 That's rapidradios.com.

00:02:37.820 Rapid Radios.

00:02:39.720 Communication redefined.

00:02:45.140 So what is the latest on Iran?

00:02:47.100 Where do we stand?

00:02:47.980 Are we done?

00:02:48.760 Are we going back in?

00:02:49.960 Maybe.

00:02:50.360 Are we?

00:02:51.140 Maybe.

00:02:51.940 It might be over.

00:02:52.820 So maybe it might be over.

00:02:53.920 Maybe.

00:02:54.260 Maybe we're going back in?

00:02:55.380 Maybe.

00:02:56.100 Okay.

00:02:56.400 Yeah.

00:02:57.040 When are we going to know?

00:02:58.260 When will we know for sure?

00:02:59.260 Is that not specific enough for you?

00:03:00.960 No.

00:03:01.380 Not really.

00:03:02.620 Two days?

00:03:03.340 Three days?

00:03:04.640 Maybe.

00:03:05.160 Might be right away.

00:03:06.180 Maybe.

00:03:07.060 Here's what he said.

00:03:09.560 You said yesterday you're about an hour away from making a decision.

00:03:12.400 Where does that stand today?

00:03:13.720 have you heard anything from them very right on the borderline believe me if we don't get the

00:03:20.520 right answers it goes very quickly we're all ready to go we have to get the right answers

00:03:25.240 it would have to be a complete 100 good answers and if we do we save a lot of time energy and

00:03:32.920 lives most importantly could go very quickly or a few days a few days but it could go very quickly 0.82

00:03:42.760 very quickly Iran is a defeated nation we're dealing with some people and we're dealing 0.96

00:03:47.880 actually I must tell you we're dealing with some very good people we're dealing with people that

00:03:52.440 are I think far more reasonable than the people that are really no longer with us we're dealing

00:03:58.040 with some people with talent with uh good brain power and we're pretty impressed by it so hopefully

00:04:05.480 those people will make a deal that's going to be great for everybody but I don't know I don't know

00:04:11.400 No, I don't.

00:04:12.120 Do I get what?

00:04:12.940 I never get tired.

00:04:16.000 But what I like to do, if I can save war by waiting a couple of days,

00:04:20.860 if I can save people being killed by waiting a couple of days,

00:04:24.560 I think it's a great thing to do.

00:04:27.080 Okay.

00:04:28.780 You don't understand that?

00:04:30.480 We have already waited a couple of days.

00:04:32.280 That's the thing, yeah.

00:04:33.480 In fact, it's been a couple of weeks.

00:04:35.340 How long has it been since the ceasefire started?

00:04:38.620 Many would say too long.

00:04:39.920 Three weeks or a month?

00:04:41.400 Anyway.

00:04:42.020 It's been a while.

00:04:42.700 Yeah, it's been a while.

00:04:43.980 And we keep hearing the same thing.

00:04:46.020 Ceasefire.

00:04:46.260 Nothing from them.

00:04:47.220 Nothing.

00:04:47.460 The Strait of Hormuz is still, it's open, but it's closed.

00:04:51.420 Yeah.

00:04:52.400 Mm-hmm.

00:04:53.260 No.

00:04:54.260 Prices are still getting higher.

00:04:55.540 Time's up.

00:04:56.480 Yeah.

00:04:56.920 I thought the clock was ticking, but apparently we've hit the snooze button.

00:05:03.120 Seems like that.

00:05:03.940 Yeah.

00:05:04.520 Yeah, it seems that way.

00:05:06.200 So, I don't know.

00:05:07.420 I mean, do I want war with Iran?

00:05:09.860 I really don't. 0.73

00:05:10.420 We don't, but on the other hand, we've threatened them so many times

00:05:15.260 and then not backed it up.

00:05:17.440 I think that maybe they're not believing that anything's going to happen

00:05:21.960 at this point.

00:05:22.540 I don't think that they do.

00:05:24.360 Look, this is the game that's been played with them for a long, long time.

00:05:29.600 Right.

00:05:30.200 And I was reading this morning where it was reported that they have started

00:05:36.240 up their drone making uh factories again since the ceasefire yeah i saw that so if that's true

00:05:43.540 which i mean i believe it maybe that's because i i'm an iran hater maybe but uh that's because

00:05:52.180 they're not believing what we're saying and so they're just keep putting us off taking it

00:05:57.920 seriously just keep putting us off yeah until they feel that they'll have enough weapons to

00:06:02.980 be able to fight back a little bit well no no no no no no that's that's supposed to be unacceptable

00:06:10.000 yeah and it really is unacceptable but here's the thing their navy is at the bottom of the ocean

00:06:16.540 so it's it's at the bottom of the water what about that and their their air force is completely

00:06:21.880 decimated it's destroyed it's over it's over except for you know a couple of things here and

00:06:27.740 there i mean they keep telling us that yeah the problem is they still have some missiles i don't

00:06:32.840 know how much of their capacity we've eliminated but they still obviously have some because they

00:06:38.580 keep attacking people right and hopefully you know because they keep attacking people we know

00:06:43.740 where those were shot from yeah we can go in and destroy those yeah i mean i hope those mobile

00:06:50.440 launchers are really tough to eliminate because you can fire it and then within five minutes it's

00:06:54.940 back underground or whatever and it's hard to get to right so that's been the problem up until now

00:07:02.320 uh so i i don't know how you eliminate all of their capacity i do wage war i mean you what

00:07:10.980 nuclear weapons i don't think we want to go that route i i didn't say that i didn't say that you

00:07:19.380 did uh and i you know i don't want to decimate the people sure and i know president trump doesn't

00:07:26.100 want to either that's his deal he doesn't want to uh and that's why he's he said we're going to

00:07:31.320 take out your infrastructure, but that's going to hurt the people.

00:07:33.820 I do believe that.

00:07:34.100 So he's really tried to avoid that.

00:07:35.620 I do believe that.

00:07:37.140 Well, it's just hard for that.

00:07:38.060 I mean, I'm glad that he cares about human life.

00:07:40.420 He cares about human life in the Ukraine and Russia, too,

00:07:44.440 which is why he's been trying to end that conflict.

00:07:46.340 Yes.

00:07:47.380 And the stubborn mules that are Vladimir Putin, 0.63

00:07:51.520 and to a certain extent, Vladimir Zelensky,

00:07:55.240 keep that thing going, and they keep the carnage happening.

00:07:59.220 Man, that, I just, we saw the latest from, I think it was the CIA estimates on Russian casualties was over a million people.

00:08:10.980 Wow.

00:08:11.580 Over a million.

00:08:12.560 Could that be?

00:08:13.320 And it was, I think it was 1.2 or 1.3 million, in fact, dead or wounded.

00:08:18.120 Wow.

00:08:18.440 Or missing.

00:08:19.680 And then for the Ukrainians, it was 500,000.

00:08:24.540 So you're talking about one and a half to between one and a half and two million people.

00:08:28.840 who've been between russia and ukraine yeah yeah it's just terrible it's terrible and it keeps

00:08:35.540 going and let's say that's not let's say that report is high okay so 800 000 to a million

00:08:40.520 yeah still i mean the whatever way you look at it right it's really tragic yeah when you think

00:08:48.360 about the fact that we didn't lose uh one and a half million people between world wars one and

00:08:55.420 two combined and they have in the last four years in this conflict right it's pretty sobering you

00:09:02.400 know that's that's quite a conflict uh but the president also talked about uh the next three

00:09:08.440 years yesterday cut 16 i mean you're going to see things that are amazing you're going to see a lot

00:09:16.760 of amazing things over the next three years for our country and i'd like to talk more about the

00:09:22.160 economic because we have 18 trillion dollars being spent and no country has ever had anything

00:09:26.840 like that. We have car plants pouring in from Mexico, Canada. They don't want to be there.

00:09:31.580 There's no reason to be there because they want to sell our market. We have car companies and

00:09:37.100 plants coming in from Germany, from South Korea, from Japan, coming in by the billions and they're

00:09:44.640 being built now. You're going to see things that nobody thought was possible.

00:09:48.240 you can end up saying he's the greatest

00:09:51.700 president that ever lived

00:09:53.240 goodbye everybody

00:09:54.060 you're going to say he's the greatest

00:09:59.720 president that's ever lived

00:10:01.040 he was done with him, he gave him a hand, goodbye everybody

00:10:03.320 I'm out of here, I gotta go

00:10:04.640 I'm going to leave you on greatest president who's ever lived

00:10:07.600 see ya 1.00

00:10:08.220 I already told you I've taken over Israel 0.96

00:10:10.180 when this job is done, we have to play that clip 1.00

00:10:12.980 but he was done with him there

00:10:14.320 I'm out of here

00:10:15.980 hilarious yeah here's the israeli thing he's got a pretty high i was looking for the story on his

00:10:23.280 approval rating in israel i haven't been able to find it yet but i'm sure it's out there somewhere

00:10:27.600 he told us he told us he told us what it is uh here's what he said about his approval rating

00:10:32.460 there i'm right now at 99 in israel i could run for prime minister so maybe after i do this i'll

00:10:42.660 go to israel run for prime minister i had a poll this morning i'm 99 so that's good but uh

00:10:49.440 no he's a wartime prime minister and i just don't think they treat him well

00:10:54.160 i think they have a president over there that treats him very poorly

00:10:58.840 all right that's interesting he was it was reported also that netanyahu and i don't know

00:11:04.420 if it was after this or before this that netanyahu was all wound up that he didn't want to

00:11:11.560 start bombing Iran again.

00:11:14.360 They had a little 0.55

00:11:15.620 disagreement. It sounds like they had

00:11:18.060 a disagreement over that.

00:11:20.300 Maybe it was after that.

00:11:23.920 Don't make me

00:11:24.400 go over there and run your country 1.00

00:11:26.200 for you, Benji.

00:11:31.120 Then he also

00:11:32.100 endorsed Ken Paxton

00:11:34.360 on Monday, and he

00:11:36.220 was talking about Ken Paxton yesterday

00:11:38.460 as well. He's busy on the tarmac.

00:11:40.360 We have a great candidate, I believe, in Texas, and I believe the Texas candidate, who's Ken Paxton, I think he'll win.

00:11:49.560 I think probably he'll win very substantially.

00:11:52.200 You're right.

00:11:52.680 And I think he'll go on to defeat a very defective candidate, a candidate that believes in six genders, and he takes hits at Jesus Christ, and he's wearing a mask six months ago.

00:12:04.740 Where's anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn't get it.

00:12:09.440 And he's a vegan.

00:12:10.980 He's a vegan in Texas.

00:12:12.740 And you can't get elected as a vegan in Texas.

00:12:15.260 I hope that's true.

00:12:18.140 Let's hope that's true.

00:12:19.460 Yeah.

00:12:20.340 That you can't get elected as a vegan in Texas.

00:12:23.040 Amen.

00:12:24.480 That is not the worst of James Tallarico.

00:12:26.680 That guy is an absolute nightmare and cannot be the U.S. senator from the state of Texas.

00:12:33.780 That can't happen.

00:12:35.220 Please tell me that's not going to happen.

00:12:36.560 It's not going to happen.

00:12:37.360 Okay, thank you.

00:12:37.960 appreciate that no problem i'm here for you i just hope it's true i just hope he can't be elected

00:12:44.080 because you i mean you you wouldn't think it would be possible right it it would seem impossible

00:12:50.860 in the state of texas that this guy possible oh man but he presents himself as he sure enough does

00:13:00.060 as a christian minister and he's out there citing the bible or at least his particular uh

00:13:07.060 his translation of it and what it means to him which is pretty much not what it means to most

00:13:15.520 christians uh and i think he's duped a lot of people and it's a little scary to me in fact

00:13:23.300 it's a lot scary and he has picking picked and chosen his uh interviews and they uh they all

00:13:30.960 work to his benefit which is really interesting he's done a pretty good job of that yeah yes

00:13:35.280 yeah he wouldn't for instance he wouldn't come on this show oh no way i don't know that he would

00:13:40.980 know the parking lot of this building no i don't think so because none of those kinds of none of

00:13:46.400 those lefties will ever go on a in a into a situation that is somewhat unfamiliar and maybe

00:13:54.200 a little unfriendly right maybe a lot unfriendly oh but but they'll stick to msnbc cnn nbc abc

00:14:02.480 He went on The View.

00:14:03.500 He went on What's-Her-Faces, Jamie Lynn's podcast.

00:14:07.320 Yeah.

00:14:07.900 And those aren't going to give him any pushback on anything.

00:14:11.700 Nope.

00:14:12.340 You just get to say what you want.

00:14:13.640 They're going to lap up everything he says.

00:14:16.140 Yep, and they do.

00:14:19.540 So people aren't going to really hear the truth from him.

00:14:23.300 Meanwhile, he's ahead of both Republican candidates in polls in Texas right now.

00:14:28.380 I think he's seven points ahead of Cornyn.

00:14:32.480 And eight points ahead of Paxton, supposedly.

00:14:36.680 You got to hope that that's because we haven't decided on

00:14:40.240 whether it's going to be Gordon or Paxton.

00:14:42.500 Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.

00:14:43.460 You got to hope that.

00:14:44.660 I remember when Ted Cruz was running against Beto O'Rourke

00:14:49.220 and everybody was afraid that Beto was going to beat Ted Cruz

00:14:54.420 because he was close.

00:14:56.040 In some polls, he was ahead.

00:14:58.100 And then Ted pretty much wiped him out.

00:15:00.620 I don't remember if it was 9 points, 11 points.

00:15:03.740 It was a pretty good spread, though.

00:15:06.700 Ted pretty well mopped the floor with him.

00:15:09.440 Absolutely.

00:15:09.860 And I'm hoping that's going to be the case.

00:15:11.680 And I will say this.

00:15:13.500 I saw, I've seen one sign for Tellurico in my neighborhood.

00:15:21.020 And that was when he was, I guess that was the Democratic nomination or whatever.

00:15:26.540 Is that when that was?

00:15:27.600 Yeah, during the, when it was up against Jasmine Crawford.

00:15:30.440 Right, right, right, right, right.

00:15:31.540 Okay, so, and I have not seen it since.

00:15:35.720 So during the Beto run, Beto was everywhere.

00:15:41.880 I mean, I saw signs and bumper stickers, and it was quite a movement. 1.00

00:15:45.240 I still see Beto bumper stickers from time to time, and I think, wow, are you stupid? 1.00

00:15:50.420 Accidentally. 1.00

00:15:51.000 How do you even drive?

00:15:53.360 Seriously, you shouldn't even own a vehicle.

00:15:56.540 You're not allowed on these roads.

00:15:57.920 I almost call the police when I see them.

00:15:59.740 Like, there's a person with a Beto sticker in front of me.

00:16:02.880 Please get him off the road.

00:16:04.060 They need to be removed from the road.

00:16:05.340 Get him off the road!

00:16:07.520 All right, 888-727-BECK, more in one minute.

00:16:11.240 NMLS 1-823-34, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:16:14.360 APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:16:18.140 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:16:21.920 What he said.

00:16:22.900 Summer used to mean a couple of cookouts, a road trip maybe,

00:16:26.600 maybe taking the kids somewhere for a few days.

00:16:29.860 Now it feels like every time you walk out the front door,

00:16:32.240 it costs 300 bucks at least.

00:16:34.680 And you're pretty well tapped out before you even get started.

00:16:38.040 Gas prices, vacations, summer camps, tuition payments, groceries,

00:16:42.520 it just keeps stacking up.

00:16:44.140 And for a lot of people, the credit card starts feeling like

00:16:46.880 the only way to keep everything moving.

00:16:49.060 That's why I want you to talk to American Financing.

00:16:51.120 They help homeowners look at ways to use their home equity

00:16:55.300 to consolidate high-interest debt into one more manageable monthly payment,

00:16:59.880 which could mean real breathing room in your budget plan.

00:17:03.900 And what I like is there's no pressure and no upfront fees.

00:17:48.900 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today, and all this week, as a matter of fact.

00:17:53.380 I have a, there's a new poll here.

00:17:55.660 I listened to them talking about it on the radio earlier show.

00:17:59.760 It might have been Pat Graham, least I don't recall.

00:18:02.700 It was a national survey, though, conducted May 15th through the 18th

00:18:06.920 among 1,002 registered voters, puts Trump's job approval down at 39.

00:18:16.180 So his record was 61 approval rating.

00:18:20.740 Well, 61% now disapprove of his job.

00:18:26.040 Wow.

00:18:26.660 39% approval.

00:18:27.580 39% approval. 0.81

00:18:28.160 Well, it's 99% in Israel, though. 1.00

00:18:29.900 Correct.

00:18:30.680 So maybe a lot of Israelis could come over and vote for him.

00:18:34.280 The Republican net approval has dropped to 60, down 24 points.

00:18:38.740 Okay, yeah, that's the Republican net approval.

00:18:41.100 Wait, the Republican approval is down to 60?

00:18:43.980 Yes.

00:18:45.300 Wow.

00:18:46.320 So only 29%.

00:18:47.600 Because that was in the 90s, it seems like.

00:18:49.860 Correct.

00:18:50.120 Well, yeah.

00:18:50.860 I mean, like the low 90s.

00:18:52.440 Well, down 24th, that would have been 84, according to this poll.

00:18:58.920 Wow.

00:18:59.940 So 29% of voters approve of Trump's handling of the economy, 71% disapproving.

00:19:07.600 I hope he cares more than he looks like he cares.

00:19:11.300 Yeah, that's—

00:19:11.980 And that's the problem, I think.

00:19:13.080 That's the problem, yeah.

00:19:14.260 It is.

00:19:14.900 Inflation is the president's weakest issue, 24% approval.

00:19:18.780 Well, yeah.

00:19:21.280 Border security wants a strength.

00:19:24.740 It's now split 49 to 51.

00:19:27.840 Disapproval border security.

00:19:29.540 What?

00:19:29.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:30.660 How could that be negative?

00:19:31.940 Because it's against Trump.

00:19:33.600 Jeez.

00:19:35.240 Well, yesterday, here's what's affecting him right now.

00:19:40.360 Yesterday, a reporter said, Mr. President, you've pushed to suppress the federal gas tax.

00:19:45.920 The president says, yeah.

00:19:46.580 uh then he says are there other initiatives that you're thinking of maybe trying to lower costs

00:19:53.660 and he said well there may be it's very temporary yeah there may be anything to keep it down look

00:19:59.780 as soon as this war is over gas is gonna you know i had gasoline down to a dollar 85 in iowa i was

00:20:07.040 in iowa and the stations there had it a dollar 85 cents but i was down to in many cases less than

00:20:13.580 $2 a gallon. And then I said to myself, this is great. We just hit a new high in the stock market.

00:20:19.620 Everything's going good, but I'm sorry, but we have to go down and take a little journey down to 1.00

00:20:25.440 we have to do something with Iran. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. You want to see the 0.99

00:20:31.060 world exploded? You want to see a problem? And this is peanuts. And I appreciate everybody putting

00:20:38.440 up with it for a little while won't be much longer you can't call what's going on right now

00:20:44.740 peanuts and you can't dismiss it by saying you know that you weren't even thinking about the

00:20:51.220 economy because the left uses that against him and beats him over the head with it and look

00:20:56.640 kind of deservedly so i mean we this is the thing that he's been too flippant on this he's just too

00:21:03.680 flippant on this issue i'm sorry but we we see those prices in our face every day 419 uh past

00:21:10.440 the stations that i pass coming into work in texas and it was down to at least 379 378 something

00:21:18.280 like that so well and before the iranian situation it was down to what two i mean

00:21:24.620 was talking about 30 something like that so yeah i don't know he's getting bad advice from somebody

00:21:32.940 somewhere because he needs to take this a little more seriously i think that would be helpful for

00:21:39.400 him 888-727-BECK more coming up we've all done it we tried to save a buck or two buying a knockoff

00:23:25.280 Just fun stories from Jeffy.

00:23:27.380 A little too in the fat, fat type.

00:23:28.740 Well, I don't know.

00:23:30.000 Experts, the industry, auto experts are predicting perhaps a motor oil shortage that is imminent

00:23:38.360 as prices escalate due to the Iran war.

00:23:41.680 So I would say maybe change your oil this weekend.

00:23:45.020 Oh, boy.

00:23:45.500 I don't want to have a run on changing your oil, but maybe you ought to think about it

00:23:50.240 at least.

00:23:50.680 Speaking of predictions

00:23:53.160 Minnesota became the first state

00:23:55.280 To ban prediction markets

00:23:57.180 Passing a law that makes it a felony

00:23:59.800 To host or advertise them

00:24:02.120 What?

00:24:02.840 Someone better tell Stu

00:24:03.860 In response

00:24:06.560 The Trump administration has sued

00:24:09.140 Teeing up a legal battle

00:24:10.880 Over the most far reaching crackdown

00:24:13.300 On popular services

00:24:14.400 Like Cal C and Polymarket

00:24:16.500 It comes as states confront

00:24:18.300 Growing standoff with the Trump administration

00:24:20.320 over how to regulate the industry,

00:24:22.460 which allows people to bet on virtually anything.

00:24:25.940 The new state law makes it a crime to host

00:24:28.340 or advertise a prediction market,

00:24:31.160 which it defines as a system

00:24:33.120 that lets consumers place a wager on a future outcome.

00:24:37.540 Sports, elections, live entertainment,

00:24:40.200 someone's word choice, and world affairs.

00:24:43.360 The Royal Mission extends to services

00:24:44.940 supporting prediction markets,

00:24:47.180 like virtual private networks

00:24:48.920 that would allow consumers to disguise their location

00:24:51.760 and get around the ban.

00:24:53.840 It would force prediction market sites like Calci and Polymarket

00:24:56.560 to leave the state or face possible felony charges.

00:25:01.560 The law takes effect in August.

00:25:03.420 Stu, that flashing red light you see behind you right now

00:25:06.920 is the Minnesota police.

00:25:08.960 They're coming for you.

00:25:10.120 Pulling you over.

00:25:10.540 They're pulling you over.

00:25:11.880 Yep.

00:25:12.460 They're coming.

00:25:13.380 Good luck.

00:25:13.760 God bless.

00:25:14.840 Tried to tell you.

00:25:16.280 I mean, what are the chances that spreads?

00:25:18.500 I don't know.

00:25:19.240 Maybe.

00:25:20.540 Maybe.

00:25:20.940 I mean, Trump.

00:25:21.740 Maybe not.

00:25:22.160 The administration is going to sue them.

00:25:23.460 He's going to shut it down.

00:25:24.860 I don't know that it's constitutional.

00:25:27.620 Right.

00:25:28.860 We'll see.

00:25:29.600 Yeah.

00:25:30.060 Yeah.

00:25:30.420 And it may take a while.

00:25:32.220 So, I mean, it may go into effect.

00:25:35.820 They're going to have to put an injunction on the actual state law.

00:25:39.620 Yeah.

00:25:39.920 Right?

00:25:40.420 Yeah.

00:25:40.680 Otherwise, it goes into effect, and then you're still fighting it.

00:25:43.280 Mm-hmm.

00:25:43.940 And they will pull people over.

00:25:46.280 Yeah.

00:25:46.680 They will shut you down to make a point.

00:25:50.040 And then if they get called out on it, they'll be like, oh, sorry.

00:25:53.000 Yeah.

00:25:53.880 Yeah, you're right.

00:25:54.740 They were right.

00:25:55.520 Sorry.

00:25:56.280 I mean, holy cow.

00:25:57.900 The vibes at Meta headquarters right now aren't very good.

00:26:02.200 Yesterday morning, waves of emails started arriving and nearly 8,000 employees informing them that their jobs are terminated.

00:26:11.980 That's an AI bloodbath, right?

00:26:13.720 It sure is.

00:26:14.400 Workers have been dreading the mass culling since it was first leaked in March, but Meta never addressed it.

00:26:21.120 So these layoffs affect about 10% of the 78,000 people that work at Meta.

00:26:26.760 Earlier this week, the company said in a memo that it would also move 7,000 employees to AI-related initiatives and close 6,000 open roles.

00:26:38.560 so those are job openings that you saw that you applied for don't worry about it those are gone

00:26:45.200 apparently morale is a pretty low at uh at the old metal offices uh things have gotten so bad

00:26:51.960 some employers are begging for the virtual pink slip just to get the 16 weeks weeks 16 weeks

00:26:57.480 minimum severance okay that's not bad that's not bad four months right an employee who worked at

00:27:04.760 the company for over a decade told san francisco i tend to cry in the shower oh no i mean i know

00:27:13.880 you're sad but yeah come on don't admit that i know i know you know you're talking to a news

00:27:20.140 person right you don't want that everything's going on in bed i tend to cry in the shower

00:27:24.640 okay all right all right yeah zuckerberg uh said that way back in 2022 right i mean the layoffs

00:27:31.740 were a correction to COVID-era overhiring,

00:27:35.000 but really these rounds are freeing up funds for AI spending.

00:27:39.140 And the tech giant has pledged to spend as much as $145 billion this year on AI.

00:27:45.740 So they rolled out a new program internally that you think you're being followed now.

00:27:51.620 And I want to thank Hulu for being able to put an advertisement up

00:27:56.500 during the shows that I'm watching and letting me know that that product is available

00:28:00.900 at a place just a couple of blocks away from my house.

00:28:04.000 That's incredible.

00:28:04.440 So that was nice of them.

00:28:05.440 It's incredible.

00:28:07.020 Nice of them.

00:28:07.820 I appreciate it.

00:28:10.080 The privacy we've given up as Americans is astounding.

00:28:13.560 It sure is.

00:28:14.460 I remember, you know, 20, 25 years ago in Houston when they,

00:28:20.000 I mean, everybody started getting, I mean, some people had it,

00:28:22.820 but everybody was getting the toll tag.

00:28:25.040 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:28:25.740 And my producer, Keith Mellinack, was all up in arms.

00:28:30.000 I said, well, I'm going to know where I am.

00:28:31.620 I'm not getting a toll tag.

00:28:32.880 I'm not doing the toll tag.

00:28:33.900 I think he has a toll tag now.

00:28:36.220 Absolutely.

00:28:37.080 I think you've got a permanent toll tag on your phone and your iPad

00:28:41.000 and everything else that's in your car.

00:28:44.140 They know where we are every second of every day now.

00:28:47.800 And we don't even think about it.

00:28:49.440 And I was thinking about that actually yesterday

00:28:51.380 when we were playing the TrumpRx speech.

00:28:56.320 They were telling us about TrumpRx.

00:28:57.680 And he was going through what the website does.

00:29:00.000 And the website is awesome.

00:29:01.420 And the drug prices are great.

00:29:03.500 And I love the whole thing.

00:29:06.000 But then he talked about how you just log on and you tell them where you're at.

00:29:09.420 And this is where you live.

00:29:10.920 And this is where your pharmacy is.

00:29:12.400 And I know I've already resigned myself to believing that they already know all of that.

00:29:19.060 You're just making it worse.

00:29:20.380 So they already know.

00:29:21.560 And we just have that added to that.

00:29:23.520 They already know that.

00:29:24.320 So the difference is a big.

00:29:25.620 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

00:29:26.420 And we just give up more and more every day.

00:29:28.920 Because they rolled out a new program internally, this is meta now, that tracks employees every move on their computers.

00:29:35.760 Oh, good.

00:29:36.160 The company said that it would use the data to train AI models on how people actually complete everyday tasks using computers.

00:29:44.400 A lot of workers didn't like that.

00:29:48.500 They launched a petition urging execs to end the tracking program. 0.95

00:29:52.960 The U.K. workers are attempting to unionize because this damn Meta, they're reporting record profits right now. 0.99

00:30:02.320 So damn Zuckerberg. 0.99

00:30:04.540 Good times over at Meta. 0.99

00:30:05.820 Good times.

00:30:06.280 Good times over at Meta.

00:30:07.600 Good times.

00:30:08.240 Boy, another place that's having a good time is Starbucks Korea.

00:30:11.540 They do have a job opening if you're looking for a good.

00:30:14.560 The CEO was fired after the company launched a marketing campaign called Tank Day on the anniversary of a 1980 massacre of pro-democracy protesters.

00:30:26.620 So, I mean, the people were all wound up evoking painful memories of a brutal military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in 1980.

00:30:35.940 So this group that owns all these Starbucks in South Korea said that it sacked their CEO, Son Jung-hun, because of inappropriate marketing.

00:30:50.260 So I don't know what he was thinking.

00:30:53.320 I mean, he starts a campaign called Tank Day and called the tumblers on the tagline were, put it on your table with the sound of tack.

00:31:05.800 And so on the day that the whole movement was celebrated, weird.

00:31:10.460 Not cool.

00:31:10.900 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 Yeah, really weird.

00:31:12.320 Definitely not a good move.

00:31:13.700 So if you're looking, you know.

00:31:14.700 How many people were killed?

00:31:15.560 You need a gig.

00:31:17.000 Back in the 1980s, did I give a number?

00:31:20.420 It just says a massacre.

00:31:22.480 I don't know how many people were killed.

00:31:25.180 Strange.

00:31:25.680 Probably more than two.

00:31:27.020 Probably.

00:31:27.860 Yeah.

00:31:28.220 I'm just guessing.

00:31:29.080 I don't know.

00:31:29.580 I would guess.

00:31:30.480 There's no number.

00:31:31.420 A massacre would probably be more than two.

00:31:34.300 Yeah.

00:31:34.420 although the boston massacre was what five see see see okay not be that many uh colossal

00:31:43.740 biosciences uh the company best known for trying to de-extinct the old woolly mammoth and other

00:31:49.360 creatures has said now it has hatched chicks from an artificial eggshell the biotech company said

00:31:56.380 that it aims to resurrect lost creatures uh they've hatched these live chicks in an artificial

00:32:01.220 environment a development that was uh you know the met with a little bit of mixed reviews from

00:32:06.780 scientists uh and critics of the de-extinction mission uh 26 baby chickens ranging from a few

00:32:13.440 days to several months old were born from a 3d printed lattice structure that mimics an eggshell

00:32:19.520 colossal previously announced that it had genetically engineered living animals to

00:32:24.180 resemble some you know extinct species the mice with long hair uh which would supposed to mimic

00:32:30.700 the woolly mammoth and the wolf pups, the dire wolves.

00:32:34.020 So the CEO, Ben Lamb, who's been on this program before in the past,

00:32:39.940 said that if the artificial egg technology could one day be scaled up

00:32:43.720 to genetically tweak living birds to resemble New Zealand's extinct

00:32:48.520 South Island giant moa, whose eggs are 80 times the size of a chicken

00:32:54.100 and would be difficult for any modern bird to lay.

00:32:57.180 We wanted to build something that nature

00:33:02.080 Has done a pretty good job of developing

00:33:04.300 And make it better

00:33:05.260 And scalable and even more efficient

00:33:07.880 Yeah

00:33:09.280 I mean I would like to say that

00:33:11.060 I don't know about you Pat

00:33:12.140 That I've been crying for the return

00:33:14.280 Of the South Island giant moa 1.00

00:33:16.280 Man oh man do I want

00:33:18.340 A South Island giant moa 0.64

00:33:21.580 It means a lot

00:33:22.180 Right? It means a whole bunch

00:33:25.340 It really does

00:33:26.320 One of the things that we talked about earlier in my Fat Five, my daily Fat Five, on Pet Grand Leashed, the show that airs right before this program on Blaze TV and Blaze Radio, was a Jackson Pollock painting that sold this week.

00:33:45.200 My gosh, this is unbelievable.

00:33:46.820 It's the painting that finally freed Jackson from the shackles of conventional easel painting.

00:33:53.420 Yeah.

00:33:53.620 And produces one of the first truly abstract paintings in the history of art.

00:33:58.700 I mean, I don't know what I'd pay for it, but it wouldn't be the $181.2 million that was paid for it.

00:34:08.720 It's just amazing.

00:34:10.080 If you can see this on video somewhere and you're watching our stream.

00:34:16.040 It's beautiful.

00:34:16.620 Beautiful is the word.

00:34:18.360 He took paint and he threw it at the canvas.

00:34:22.400 I love it, actually.

00:34:23.980 That's all it is.

00:34:24.900 A four-year-old could do...

00:34:26.880 A four-year-old has done this.

00:34:29.260 Not like this, my friend.

00:34:30.780 What differentiates this from a four-year-old's painting?

00:34:35.360 With Jackson Pollock's signature on it.

00:34:37.700 That's about it.

00:34:38.740 That is it.

00:34:39.460 It's just the signature.

00:34:41.740 I mean, that's unbelievable.

00:34:43.320 It's unbelievable.

00:34:44.060 It's a big painting, and it's really beautiful,

00:34:47.000 and I would like to have it.

00:34:47.780 It is not beautiful.

00:34:48.780 It is.

00:34:49.220 There's nothing beautiful about it.

00:34:50.740 That's incorrect.

00:34:51.520 But I'm not paying $181.2 million.

00:34:57.000 No, and as I mentioned earlier today, this fulfills one of the communist goals for America that were entered into the congressional record in 1962.

00:35:09.260 Two of those goals are fulfilled in that, what you see right there.

00:35:13.640 Goal number 22, continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.

00:35:19.860 An American communist cell was told to eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.

00:35:29.580 Goal number 23, control art critics and directions of art museums.

00:35:35.260 Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.

00:35:40.580 Well, I'm not a communist, and I love it.

00:35:43.200 I love the painting.

00:35:45.200 All right, they fulfilled their goal here.

00:35:47.800 Am I a communist and I don't know it?

00:35:51.600 Yes.

00:35:52.920 That's your fat 510.

00:35:53.640 But now you know it. 0.81

00:35:54.400 That's your fat 510.

00:35:55.460 All right.

00:35:55.980 888-727-PAC. 0.99

00:36:01.820 Oh, crap. 0.99

00:36:03.320 Turns out. 0.99

00:36:04.080 When did that get there?

00:36:05.340 Common sense ain't all that common.

00:36:08.280 But around here, it's still standard equipment.

00:36:13.600 Glenn Beck returns in a minute.

00:36:17.800 Let me ask you something. How many different places do you have to go right now just to

00:36:31.320 understand your business insurance? And I don't mean to buy it. I mean, to actually just understand

00:36:35.920 it. Because for most people, business insurance is not one thing. It's a collection of things,

00:36:39.840 different policies, different documents, different people you have to call depending

00:36:42.820 on what the question is. And when you actually need a straight answer, you don't always get one.

00:36:46.880 That's the part that doesn't make sense,

00:36:48.600 and it can be really frustrating when you're trying to get it right.

00:36:51.380 Well, this new company, I am a big fan of SuperShure.

00:36:54.100 They just fixed this.

00:36:55.020 It's one agency, one team, working with you year-round,

00:36:58.420 not just when it's time to renew,

00:37:00.100 so you can actually see how everything fits together

00:37:02.700 instead of trying to piece it together for yourself.

00:37:05.000 And they even built a tool called the FinePrint Facts

00:37:08.040 that'll take all the legal language and translate it into real English

00:37:11.360 so you know exactly what you have, what it covers, and what it doesn't.

00:37:14.500 Because you should know.

00:37:15.840 You should never have to guess when something is right when it's this important.

00:37:20.220 Go to Supersure.com slash back.

00:37:22.120 That's Supersure.com slash back.

00:37:24.180 Paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

00:37:38.940 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

00:37:41.800 We were just talking about Jackson Pollock.

00:37:43.700 This is amazing because he's selling a painting right now for $181 million.

00:37:48.260 I mean, it's sold.

00:37:49.400 It's sold.

00:37:50.040 Just sold, yeah.

00:37:50.680 Sotheby's, was it?

00:37:52.060 Christie's.

00:37:52.580 Okay.

00:37:54.100 And it's not the most expensive one of a Pollock.

00:37:58.600 It just was set a record there at Christie's.

00:38:00.640 And the poor guy, when he died in 1956, was worth, well, about $200,000.

00:38:06.160 So that was, I mean, a decent amount of money to have in 1956.

00:38:12.000 He wasn't extravagantly living.

00:38:13.420 But he rarely sold a painting for more than $8,000 back then.

00:38:17.280 He sold one in 2006 for what today would be $200 million.

00:38:25.120 $200 million!

00:38:27.880 And again, he's throwing stuff at a canvas.

00:38:32.560 Just slopping paint all over the place.

00:38:34.920 But it's the way he does it.

00:38:35.620 It's the way he does it.

00:38:37.560 He takes paint on a paintbrush, and then he throws it.

00:38:42.200 I know, but if you look at that creation, that creation that sold for $181.2 million.

00:38:51.040 Yeah.

00:38:51.680 What do you want to tell me about it?

00:38:53.060 It's going to change my mind.

00:38:54.060 How he put the paint on the canvas.

00:38:58.360 Yeah, as I said, he threw it at the canvas.

00:39:02.180 The direction, and you can almost feel what he was feeling when he was putting the paint.

00:39:08.560 Incredible rage?

00:39:09.880 Was it a blind rage?

00:39:11.780 and he was just pissed in the in the right part of it yes but he seems happier on the left part

00:39:17.460 i don't i just don't get it i don't know how that's happened i really don't i mean i would

00:39:27.620 love to have that painting i'm not spending 181 first of all i mean it's impossible for me to

00:39:33.220 spend something i don't have but i'm not paying 181.2 million yeah i don't know who would that's

00:39:38.380 amazing it's it's a lot of money i mean even if you're a billionaire that's a lot of money sure

00:39:44.300 but you know the wife wants it so you get it for her i guess so yeah i guess and where do you put

00:39:50.260 that lovely wherever she wants wherever okay wherever she wants and you like it uh yeah and

00:39:57.120 you like except they don't except i don't i guess for that kind of money i could pretend look you've

00:40:02.540 got your estate uh under construction right now yes and uh perhaps there's a place where jackson

00:40:07.740 pollock uh once the once the uh remodeling ends yeah there is in my garbage can it's outside my

00:40:14.700 house yeah no i got a nice little place for it i'll even put it in the recycling bin so that

00:40:21.480 they can you know take it and grain it up and turn it into something else i mean i think that's

00:40:26.520 nice of you yeah i think it is and environmentally friendly more coming up

00:40:31.780 Glambeck is on

00:41:01.780 Swipe the flame

00:41:09.800 Pass it on

00:41:12.360 Crank the game

00:41:14.920 Glambeck is on

00:41:17.400 Glambeck is on

00:41:19.720 Na na na na 0.99

00:41:21.840 Na na na na

00:41:26.840 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:41:40.580 yep this week featuring uh pat gray and jeff fisher from pat gray unleashed which uh tomorrow

00:41:49.160 by the way please tune in we've got a a really fun show ashton forbes who has been

00:41:55.840 really

00:41:57.560 controversial. He has.

00:42:00.000 But fascinating. Remarkable information.

00:42:02.220 Smart guy.

00:42:03.660 He's been following up on this

00:42:06.260 MH370 flight

00:42:08.080 which supposedly crashed

00:42:10.040 in 2014.

00:42:12.440 He believes it was

00:42:13.880 teleported somewhere.

00:42:16.900 And he's shown that video.

00:42:18.480 Now some have claimed to debunk

00:42:20.420 that but he's debunked the debunking.

00:42:23.140 Which is interesting.

00:42:24.000 and there's a lot of technology that has sprung from that if it really exists anyway we're going

00:42:30.760 to talk to him about that uh for the show tomorrow on pat gray unleashed which is seven to nine live

00:42:37.580 eastern and then right immediately preceding this programmer anytime and anywhere you want to see it

00:42:43.060 on on a podcast wherever you get your podcast but we've got to we got to get into this uh

00:42:50.160 spencer pratt los angeles situation he's running for mayor of los angeles he has put out some of

00:42:55.680 the most creative ads for a campaign i've ever seen in my life we'll get into that coming up

00:43:02.800 in 60 seconds you know there's a certain kind of person who can't go on vacation without turning

00:43:09.120 it into a full-scale logistical operation before the car even leaves the driveway they've checked

00:43:14.800 the weather in three states, mapped out gas stations along the route, packed enough snacks

00:43:20.380 to survive a civilization collapse, and informed everyone that if anybody has to go to the bathroom,

00:43:25.560 you better speak now or prepare to suffer for the entire journey. And honestly, those people might

00:43:31.640 be onto something. Because whether you're traveling this summer, you're camping, heading out on a road

00:43:37.140 trip, or just trying to keep your family connected during the unexpected, communication really matters

00:43:42.920 more than a lot of us realize right up until the moment you need it.

00:43:47.200 Then you realize that's why I really like rapid radios.

00:43:51.380 They're incredibly simple to use.

00:43:53.160 There's no license necessary, no programming, and no monthly fees.

00:43:57.460 You just turn it on and start talking.

00:44:01.040 And because they work nationwide, they give you a way to stay connected

00:44:04.920 that feels easy, practical, and reliable without turning it into

00:44:08.500 some kind of tech support nightmare.

00:44:10.100 So, go to rapidradios.com.

00:44:14.460 They ship really fast from their headquarters in Michigan.

00:44:16.940 That's rapidradios.com.

00:44:19.500 Rapid Radios.

00:44:21.040 Communication redefined.

00:44:25.480 If you've not been following the mayoral race in Los Angeles, it has really heated up.

00:44:33.920 It's unbelievable what's happening with Spencer Pratt.

00:44:38.520 Now, they will disparage him by saying, oh, he's a reality star.

00:44:45.060 That's all he's ever done.

00:44:46.580 Never run anything.

00:44:47.760 Yeah.

00:44:49.080 The guy has run a brilliant campaign with these creative ads that have gone viral all over the place.

00:44:59.500 And it seems like there's a new one every day.

00:45:02.040 It's pretty amazing.

00:45:02.800 Pretty awesome.

00:45:03.580 He's also, you know, shown his trailer on his burned out house lot in Pacific Palisades.

00:45:11.720 His house burned to the ground.

00:45:12.820 So did his parents' house.

00:45:15.200 It also burned to the ground.

00:45:16.540 And his friends burned to the ground.

00:45:18.820 So he's got this trailer out on an empty lot.

00:45:22.600 And really, I mean, he believes that all burned down because of the ineptitude of Karen Bass.

00:45:28.060 And he's right.

00:45:28.660 And her, you know, administration.

00:45:31.360 And he's right.

00:45:31.960 He's right.

00:45:32.640 Yep.

00:45:32.900 And so he's alerting Los Angelians that there's an alternative there.

00:45:41.940 I mean, Karen Bass, I don't know how she has any support at all.

00:45:46.520 And then, you know, her like-minded council, city council member, who's also running for mayor.

00:45:54.460 I mean, they're all responsible for the ineptitude that caused those fires.

00:45:59.360 Maybe didn't cause the fires, but certainly allowed them to spread and wipe out so much of Los Angeles.

00:46:05.140 It's just, it's criminal.

00:46:06.680 It's criminal.

00:46:07.180 Nobody will ever be held accountable for it, but you could hold them accountable in this election.

00:46:13.600 Anyway, here's Spencer Pratt's latest AI ad.

00:46:17.740 This is, I mean, this is almost indistinguishable from an actual Legos movie.

00:46:22.400 It's really good.

00:46:23.300 That's for sure.

00:46:23.680 Watch this.

00:46:26.060 Everything is awful.

00:46:27.460 Everything is hell when you're part of the scene 0.94

00:46:47.580 A camp of addicts down the block

00:47:17.400 Wait, somebody's fighting back now

00:47:25.380 Standing up and taking flack now

00:47:28.740 Spence of Brad lost everything

00:47:31.480 Watch the flames take everything

00:47:34.740 But instead of looking down

00:47:38.040 He's exposing this whole town

00:47:41.240 Calling out the corrupt machine

00:47:44.240 Somebody's gotta clean this scene

00:47:47.380 Let's go!

00:47:48.780 Truth, proof, receipts

00:47:50.740 Not awful

00:47:51.560 Alright, I want to vote for him

00:48:26.920 Stop!

00:48:28.960 Stop!

00:48:33.300 Brilliant.

00:48:34.460 Oh, yeah.

00:48:35.100 So good.

00:48:35.840 Absolutely.

00:48:36.780 I think this guy

00:48:37.600 has changed

00:48:38.840 the way campaigns

00:48:40.020 will run

00:48:42.260 from now on.

00:48:43.740 The way they operate.

00:48:45.260 The way ads happen.

00:48:47.780 Right.

00:48:47.980 And look,

00:48:48.820 they aren't necessarily...

00:48:50.020 Some of these are just...

00:48:50.900 they just release them online yeah that's true it's not even that's true really inexpensive

00:48:55.180 and then they go viral right and you're getting all kinds of free advertising just post them

00:49:00.040 phenomenal make them post them i really want to vote for them and here's the great thing

00:49:04.320 in los angeles we can you may be able to we don't have to show id we don't have to prove

00:49:10.760 risk citizenship in los angeles according to karen bass we don't have to be citizens at all

00:49:16.280 That's for sure.

00:49:17.180 I mean, we're here legally, so let's vote.

00:49:19.840 I mean, there's a 60-minute interview with her that I sent in that's really, I don't even, I could barely make it through with her.

00:49:28.080 Oh, wow.

00:49:28.620 It's awesome. 0.99

00:49:29.520 I mean, she's terrible.

00:49:31.140 But there's other Spencer Pratt ad, this AI ad that's here.

00:49:36.600 I don't know if it's the one I had sent in.

00:49:38.560 The one I sent in is the, maybe it's.

00:49:41.420 This one is a song, right?

00:49:43.120 No.

00:49:43.560 Oh, it's not a song.

00:49:44.260 No, it's three guys outside at the barbecue, and they're in L.A.,

00:49:50.660 and they're like, you know, we can't talk about who we're going to vote for.

00:49:55.720 Is that this one?

00:49:57.240 Yeah, I don't know.

00:49:58.340 Clip five.

00:49:59.320 Let's see.

00:49:59.980 Yes.

00:50:00.620 Okay.

00:50:01.160 Yes.

00:50:02.280 This mayor race is really heating up.

00:50:04.680 Who are you guys voting for?

00:50:06.280 Haven't decided?

00:50:08.160 Same.

00:50:08.640 Haven't really been following it.

00:50:10.500 Same.

00:50:11.460 Same.

00:50:12.300 Same.

00:50:13.700 I'm not MAGA or anything. 0.91

00:50:17.120 But the city's kind of gone to s*** though, right? 0.92

00:50:19.180 Oh yeah. 0.96

00:50:20.400 Jessica stepped on a needle at the playground the other day.

00:50:23.320 I'm not MAGA or anything though.

00:50:25.040 I'm not MAGA or anything, but have you been downtown lately?

00:50:28.100 Looks like an episode of The Walking Dead.

00:50:31.140 Not that I'm MAGA or anything though.

00:50:32.920 Spencer Pratt seems like he has some good ideas.

00:50:35.880 Not that I'm MAGA or anything.

00:50:37.760 He does seem really angry all the time though.

00:50:40.620 Well, they did burn his house down.

00:50:43.320 Not that I'm a mad guy.

00:50:44.900 Also, apparently he's staying at the Bel Air Hotel.

00:50:47.200 Not the trailer on his property.

00:50:49.400 Well, yeah.

00:50:50.960 But they burned his house down.

00:50:52.960 Okay, we're all adults here.

00:50:55.080 How about on three, we just say who we're voting for?

00:50:57.800 One, two, three.

00:50:59.880 Spencer Pratt.

00:51:00.560 Yeah.

00:51:01.960 Spencer Pratt.

00:51:03.080 Spencer Pratt.

00:51:04.960 You're not alone.

00:51:06.920 Can you imagine if our wives knew?

00:51:12.700 We're all voting for Spencer Pratt, right?

00:51:14.760 Of course.

00:51:15.940 Obviously.

00:51:16.880 I wish I could vote like yesterday.

00:51:20.120 That is so good.

00:51:23.760 Right?

00:51:24.880 So relatable.

00:51:26.820 How many Angelenos are thinking that right now?

00:51:31.540 Not that I'm MAGA or anything.

00:51:33.360 And that was his point in the one interview that I saw of him is that,

00:51:36.800 look, people are telling me they're going to vote for me.

00:51:41.040 Yeah.

00:51:41.280 And they're not telling the pollsters, though, because they're embarrassed by it.

00:51:45.880 You know, they're probably Democrats, but they're reasonable Democrats,

00:51:49.960 and they know it's embarrassing to be saying that you're voting for a guy who's considered MAGA,

00:51:56.020 and I don't even know that he is, frankly.

00:51:58.220 No, he just wants to change to L.A.

00:51:59.920 Although President Trump did endorse him, said he's behind him 100%.

00:52:04.300 So that's...

00:52:06.220 There's that.

00:52:06.880 There's that.

00:52:07.560 There's that.

00:52:08.560 That's pretty great, though.

00:52:09.480 In most places, an endorsement from Donald Trump means quite a bit.

00:52:17.180 I don't know if it will in Los Angeles.

00:52:19.540 I feel like it's the opposite in L.A.

00:52:20.940 Yeah, probably.

00:52:22.120 And they're using it against him.

00:52:23.700 They keep talking about him being the MAGA candidate.

00:52:27.100 And then he leans into it.

00:52:29.100 So, okay.

00:52:30.540 I don't know who he has on his team, but they're brilliant.

00:52:35.320 Absolutely.

00:52:35.900 He's getting great advice.

00:52:37.280 They're running an incredible campaign.

00:52:38.960 I mean, this guy came from nowhere.

00:52:40.560 He was in the, I don't know, 1% range a short time ago,

00:52:44.820 and now he's battling with Bass for first place.

00:52:48.480 It's pretty impressive.

00:52:50.160 It sure is.

00:52:50.600 It's unbelievable, and I really hope he wins

00:52:53.220 because Los Angeles used to be a beautiful city.

00:52:57.880 Yes.

00:52:58.300 A great place to visit.

00:53:00.180 I'm sure it was a great place to live.

00:53:01.800 Yes.

00:53:02.960 But look at it now.

00:53:04.340 I mean, he pointed out some of the issues with the feces in the street

00:53:08.680 and the homeless encampments and the crime.

00:53:11.220 My daughter stepped on a needle at the park.

00:53:13.180 Yeah, but not that I'm MAGA or anything.

00:53:18.160 It's genius.

00:53:20.600 Meanwhile, Karen Bass was on 60 Minutes.

00:53:24.220 Oh, yeah.

00:53:24.520 Did you mention this?

00:53:25.220 And she, oh.

00:53:26.940 She's great.

00:53:28.000 I think you'll see.

00:53:28.820 I could make it all the way through this.

00:53:29.720 Cut 21.

00:53:31.980 When you talked to Jake Tapper in 2023,

00:53:33.860 You said that your goal was to end street homelessness in L.A. by 2026.

00:53:39.500 It's now 2026.

00:53:41.080 And we haven't ended it.

00:53:42.240 We have not ended it, and we're not close to ending it.

00:53:45.080 How are you so off?

00:53:46.640 Well, basically, when I said that, it was at the beginning of my term.

00:53:52.100 I am very committed to achieving that goal.

00:53:55.740 I didn't anticipate some of the bureaucratic barriers that I would experience.

00:54:00.780 But I am prepared to take those on now.

00:54:03.860 And let me just give you an example.

00:54:06.960 Pause it for a sec. 0.59

00:54:07.680 So what she is saying is I've really sucked up until this point,

00:54:12.800 but I'm going to be great. 0.74

00:54:14.680 Now I know.

00:54:15.800 In my next turn.

00:54:16.720 Now I got it.

00:54:18.540 Now I got it.

00:54:19.040 All right.

00:54:19.480 It took me four years to figure this out.

00:54:21.780 I didn't anticipate these barriers that I had.

00:54:23.360 Who knew?

00:54:24.200 Yeah.

00:54:24.820 Who knew there was anything to go through here?

00:54:27.280 Who knew there was going to be a headwind?

00:54:29.460 I didn't know that.

00:54:30.140 But now, now I'm going to be terrific.

00:54:34.580 So ignore my track record and just know that Shangri-La is coming.

00:54:40.720 Nirvana, absolute nirvana, heaven on earth is on the way.

00:54:44.240 Is that you?

00:54:44.680 Pretty much.

00:54:46.140 But there's more.

00:54:47.920 It was made a decision probably 20, 25 years ago to not address street homelessness, to

00:54:54.280 focus solely on building.

00:54:56.260 And granted, I have fast-tracked 42,000 units of affordable housing, but it still takes a couple of years.

00:55:04.240 So basically, the policy of L.A. City and L.A. County was we could accept street homelessness as long as we were building.

00:55:11.500 We didn't anticipate the problem metastasizing.

00:55:14.880 In my three and a half years, for the first time two years in a row, street homelessness has decreased in our city.

00:55:23.140 There hadn't been a decrease before.

00:55:24.780 That is a quality of life issue that impacts all Angelenos, whether you are unhoused or whether you run a business and your business can't function because there's tents outside, whether you're a parent that's trying to navigate through tents to get to school or whether it's residents where it has decreased the quality of life.

00:55:44.700 So this is a problem that all Angelenos experience, and we have got to have a commitment that this has to end.

00:55:52.500 The city and the county never made that commitment before, and I found something that surprised me.

00:55:58.320 I found a lot of people who work internal in this system who were very resistant to ending street homelessness.

00:56:05.280 But you promised that it would go away 100%, and it's only gone down about 17.6%.

00:56:12.620 Right.

00:56:12.880 So why should people trust you that you're going to be able to get to the 100?

00:56:16.100 Because let me just tell you, for the first time, we've had a decrease at all.

00:56:21.260 There was not a decrease before at all.

00:56:23.980 Because there was no commitment to get rid of street encampments.

00:56:28.620 And we had encampments all over the city.

00:56:31.580 So I would ask for people's trust in the sense that we have absolutely made progress.

00:56:36.900 We know what we need to do now to end street homelessness.

00:56:39.980 we need to end the failed policies of the past which is all we're going to do is focus on building

00:56:45.620 and we are going to ignore street homelessness that is what the city and the county has done

00:56:50.900 for years ignored street homelessness that's insane just unbelievable if you buy into that

00:56:57.520 wow you you'll get what you deserve seriously you'll get it it's like somebody's been punching

00:57:04.160 you in the face 100% of the time

00:57:06.240 for the last four years.

00:57:08.040 But here's the thing. In the last

00:57:10.200 one year, they've only hit

00:57:12.240 you in the face 17

00:57:14.020 points. No, I'm sorry.

00:57:16.100 82.4%

00:57:19.340 of the time.

00:57:20.460 That's it, though. They're just going to

00:57:22.140 keep hitting you in the face now

00:57:23.800 82% of the time, not 100%.

00:57:26.400 So don't worry

00:57:28.360 about it. Everything's great

00:57:30.080 when you're part of a team. Thank you.

00:57:32.380 Or as Spencer said,

00:57:34.160 Everything is awful when you're part of her team.

00:57:38.020 That is incredible.

00:57:40.000 Seriously, how do you vote for her?

00:57:43.340 You've got to be.

00:57:44.300 I don't know.

00:57:46.180 You've got to be a glutton for punishment to vote for her again. 1.00

00:57:48.660 She has all the unions backing her. 1.00

00:57:50.820 My gosh. 0.95

00:57:51.960 I don't know about the rank and file, so that may be an issue for her.

00:57:58.240 I mean, just drive downtown and take a look around.

00:58:00.120 Yeah.

00:58:00.300 Is it better, worse, or about the same?

00:58:03.700 You tell me. More coming up in one minute. You know, you can learn a lot about a person by

00:58:10.140 just walking through their house. You see the height marks on the wall where they measured

00:58:14.520 their kids growing up, the scratch on the floor from the time somebody dragged a Christmas tree

00:58:19.040 stand through the living room, the back patio where they've had a hundred barbecues happen.

00:58:24.700 A house is never just a house. That's why buying or selling one is a lot more emotional than people

00:58:30.480 sometimes expect it to be. And it's also why the person helping you through that process matters

00:58:36.100 so much. That's why Gled started Real Estate Agents I Trust. He wanted to build a network

00:58:41.120 of professionals who understand that they're not just moving a property around on a spreadsheet.

00:58:46.560 They're actually helping people through some of the biggest transitions of their life.

00:58:51.980 Because for most people, home is one of the most important words in the English language. So please

00:58:58.880 check out realestateagentsitrust.com they've been carefully vetted by glenn and his team

00:59:05.700 and they'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in a tough market the name really says it

00:59:11.480 all that's realestateagentsitrust.com 10 seconds then back to the show

00:59:16.000 it's pat and jeffy for glenn uh on the other side of the country you know you got the two

00:59:31.900 biggest cities in america that are just battling for their lives right now just battling for their

00:59:37.240 very lives los angeles and new york city where you've got a islamianist in office i look they

00:59:45.680 voted for it they voted here you go that i mean that that's the battle one of the battles and he

00:59:50.620 won and the tendency is to say well you get what you deserve but the problem is new york city is

00:59:58.260 really important to america and the world and the world i mean but for sure america yeah uh so

01:00:07.140 zaron mom donnie is trying his best to chase rich people the wealthy out of the city pointed out uh

01:00:14.940 penthouse of Ken Griffin, and that, as you could possibly imagine, kind of upset Ken Griffin.

01:00:22.280 He was planning to do a $6 billion project in New York City that would bring jobs and

01:00:29.260 beautify the town.

01:00:32.200 And someone's saying that they were going to tax him more because he doesn't live full

01:00:38.080 time in that penthouse right up there in this building.

01:00:42.680 That cost, if you can believe it, $238 million.

01:00:46.000 So obviously it's bad.

01:00:47.440 Right.

01:00:47.920 Right?

01:00:48.540 So here's Momdani.

01:00:50.120 Maybe backtracking a little bit, this is a report on the latest in the Zaron Momdani, Ken Griffin situation from Wins Radio in New York City.

01:01:02.580 Mayor Momdani confirms a member of his team has reached out to Ken Griffin.

01:01:06.680 And it's part of invitations that I've made to a number of business leaders across the city.

01:01:13.020 And I've appreciated those conversations.

01:01:14.180 He did not link it to the video he made outside Griffin's billionaire's row building promoting the pied-a-terre tax,

01:01:21.140 a video Griffin called creepy and weird with consequences like moving jobs and projects out of New York.

01:01:27.280 The mayor would like a sit-down.

01:01:29.480 But also I'm there to listen.

01:01:31.120 Oh, yeah.

01:01:31.500 And they're to have a conversation that goes beyond places of agreement, but perhaps places of disagreement, hear honest reflection, critique, and not put any precondition on the nature of that conversation.

01:01:43.680 He says there would be no preconditions and adds he did not get the sense that Griffin needed to hear a public apology first.

01:01:50.460 Oh, I got that sense. 0.97

01:01:51.800 You know, if I'm Ken Griffin, I'm going to tell him, you know, stick that up your rectal cavity. 0.99

01:01:57.000 No, I'm not meeting with you. 0.98

01:02:00.000 In fact, I'm moving completely out of this city.

01:02:03.340 So if something, if you're in a meeting and you're going beyond agreement,

01:02:10.540 isn't that always disagreement?

01:02:13.300 It seems like it, yeah.

01:02:14.800 He's just trying to double talk so people can understand what's really going on.

01:02:20.420 Jeez.

01:02:21.320 Unbelievable.

01:02:23.320 888-727-BECK.

01:02:26.280 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

01:02:28.600 More coming up.

01:02:37.820 When we talk about Israel, we're not just talking about a place.

01:02:40.740 We're talking about a people connected to a promise.

01:02:43.360 A promise made by God.

01:02:44.980 The one He has never broken.

01:02:47.000 And one that continues even today.

01:02:49.320 Because God's character doesn't change.

01:02:51.340 And what He begins, He sustains.

01:02:53.080 What He promises, He fulfills.

01:02:54.940 And that matters.

01:02:56.120 Right now in Israel, families run into shelters as sirens sound.

01:02:59.440 It's not just a crisis.

01:03:00.720 It's a call to respond for Christians.

01:03:02.880 For Christians, caring for the Jewish people isn't rooted in politics.

01:03:06.200 It's not rooted in war or anything else.

01:03:08.320 It's rooted in trust.

01:03:09.820 Trust in a God who keeps his word.

01:03:11.940 So we don't stay distant.

01:03:13.200 We step in with prayer and practical help.

01:03:15.380 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground,

01:03:18.620 bringing food, caring for the vulnerable, and reminding people they're not alone.

01:03:22.900 This is what it looks like to align our hearts with God's.

01:03:25.660 to pray, to show up, to care, to feed. Join us in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the

01:03:30.900 people who need it most right now. Visit PrayIFCJ.org. That's PrayIFCJ.org. Discover George

01:03:55.660 pat and jeffy for glenn today uh triple eight seven two seven beck the department of homeland

01:04:15.300 security announced its identification of more than 10 000 foreign students who allegedly work

01:04:23.100 for dubious employers as part of its crackdown on visa work programs uh this is the this is only

01:04:31.300 the tip of the iceberg over the past year we've dramatically expanded our oversight

01:04:36.680 of opt according to a dh dhs spokesman many of these employers include ngos non-governmental

01:04:45.820 organizations engaged in suspicious activities huh we've discovered empty buildings and locked

01:04:52.220 Doors at addresses where hundreds of foreign students are allegedly employed.

01:04:57.880 So this gives me an incredibly great idea.

01:05:02.460 Let's invite another 600,000 foreign students from China.

01:05:09.240 Wouldn't that be great?

01:05:10.480 Here's the thing.

01:05:11.220 Isn't that an idea?

01:05:12.700 What's the thing?

01:05:13.420 We have to do that.

01:05:14.540 Yeah, we do.

01:05:15.360 You're right.

01:05:16.720 Universities. 0.90

01:05:17.480 They'll go out of business.

01:05:18.720 It will go belly up just like that.

01:05:22.800 I don't necessarily like the way you said that.

01:05:25.620 But it's true, right?

01:05:26.680 That's true, yeah.

01:05:27.520 Yes.

01:05:28.220 Essentially, the thought is good.

01:05:30.300 Maybe not the delivery of the thought.

01:05:35.460 I don't understand that particular agenda item by the president.

01:05:42.500 I don't get it.

01:05:43.900 But he's really committed to it.

01:05:45.680 He is.

01:05:46.320 He has been and has been.

01:05:48.720 And he doesn't seem to, you know.

01:05:51.080 Not backing off it at all.

01:05:52.740 He's kind of doubled down on it.

01:05:54.400 Yeah, he definitely did.

01:05:56.080 And that was one of the excuses, right, that the universities would close.

01:06:01.520 And, you know, we find that very hard to believe.

01:06:03.460 Yeah, I just don't buy it.

01:06:05.760 And maybe we need to, and maybe, look, it was pointed out to me that perhaps he's doing that to bring them in and recruit them as spies.

01:06:14.320 Oh, okay.

01:06:14.920 Okay, so 4D thinking on his part.

01:06:19.340 Yeah.

01:06:19.940 He's got a bigger, deeper plan there.

01:06:22.980 And maybe he does.

01:06:23.840 I hope he does.

01:06:25.060 I really do hope he does.

01:06:26.820 That would be good.

01:06:29.120 Yes, it would.

01:06:30.340 Because what we've realized so far is that rather than recruiting them for the CIA,

01:06:35.000 they continue to work for the Chinese government, the CCP.

01:06:38.720 It seems to be working the other way.

01:06:41.460 Send all our secrets back to China.

01:06:43.060 Well, maybe, you know, look, here's the thing, Pat.

01:06:47.220 What's the last time you got your news from a Chinese newspaper?

01:06:51.180 Maybe the same thing is happening there.

01:06:53.420 Maybe.

01:06:53.960 Maybe the same thing is happening there.

01:06:55.760 Maybe they're reporting on all these Americans coming over here to spy on us.

01:07:00.440 Yeah.

01:07:00.780 And they need to be out of the country.

01:07:02.520 Well, we do have 800 Americans in Chinese universities. 0.81

01:07:08.820 It's possible that if they shipped all those back to the U.S., their universities would collapse.

01:07:13.980 They'd just go belly up.

01:07:15.360 They can't do it without that American money in their university system.

01:07:21.900 Speaking of big money, Jeff Bezos was on CNBC.

01:07:26.440 And finally, you've got a billionaire here.

01:07:29.680 You have a billionaire in Ken Griffin who's pushing back a little bit.

01:07:32.520 And now Jeff Bezos is pushing back on things.

01:07:35.340 And Elon has pushed back, you know.

01:07:36.900 The whole time.

01:07:37.440 Yeah, the whole time.

01:07:38.140 All time.

01:07:38.920 And they need to be.

01:07:40.800 Bezos was talking about education spending in New York City.

01:07:45.460 Listen to this.

01:07:46.420 Give me an example.

01:07:48.080 The New York City school system.

01:07:50.240 Right.

01:07:51.480 They spend $44,000 per student.

01:07:56.000 Per year.

01:07:57.120 $44,000.

01:07:58.220 That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston.

01:08:04.700 And it's three times more than Miami and Houston.

01:08:10.160 And by the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.

01:08:13.660 So, listen, let me just say, if we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system,

01:08:22.040 your packages would take six weeks to arrive, we'd have to charge you a $100 delivery fee,

01:08:27.900 and then when the package did finally arrive, it'd have the wrong item in it anyway.

01:08:31.800 Amazon would be out of business if they ran it the way New York City runs their school systems.

01:08:38.760 It just would.

01:08:39.940 And like he said, it's not equating to really high test scores or graduation rates.

01:08:45.900 It hasn't helped at all.

01:08:47.120 Yeah.

01:08:47.760 That whole money argument, well, you're not spending enough per student.

01:08:51.740 Really?

01:08:52.300 Take a look at New York.

01:08:53.120 Take a look at, say, Washington, D.C., and see what they're getting for their money.

01:08:57.740 Money is not the answer.

01:08:58.980 so i'm glad he pointed that yes pointed that out to them he also uh talked about taxes a little

01:09:06.860 bit so people talk about you know making the tax system more progressive how about we start by

01:09:12.980 having the nurse and queens not pay taxes okay why is some why is a nurse in queens who makes 0.79

01:09:21.140 75 000 a year paying more than a thousand dollars a month in taxes that's a thousand dollars a month 1.00

01:09:28.540 that could help with rent or groceries or anything.

01:09:32.120 And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to?

01:09:36.220 The bottom half of income earners in this country

01:09:39.840 pay only 3% of the taxes.

01:09:42.780 It's only 3%.

01:09:44.160 We can find 3%.

01:09:46.160 Somewhere else.

01:09:48.060 It's a small amount of money for the government.

01:09:50.640 You know that.

01:09:51.720 And really, the more I thought about it,

01:09:54.640 to me, it's kind of absurd that we're doing this.

01:09:57.760 You know, we shouldn't be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.

01:10:04.340 They should be sending her an apology.

01:10:06.520 It really makes no sense.

01:10:08.940 I wish he'd push that a little bit further.

01:10:10.700 No kidding.

01:10:11.560 By talking about who really does pay the load.

01:10:14.180 Because the richest 1% always get pounded when it comes to taxes.

01:10:19.460 You're not paying your fair share.

01:10:21.200 Not enough.

01:10:21.780 You're not paying enough.

01:10:22.480 Not enough.

01:10:23.060 You're not paying anything.

01:10:23.800 They accuse him of not paying any taxes, which he's about to.

01:10:27.760 uh debunk here in a second but um the richest one percent pay 51 percent of the tax burden

01:10:34.600 and the wealthiest 10 percent pay 90 percent of the tax burden huh hmm uh okay what is the

01:10:45.720 fair share here let's determine that what is a hundred percent i think it is a hundred percent

01:10:52.100 maybe more it's more because it's a hundred percent and then when you die we're going to

01:10:55.440 take that too which they do of course which they do but this is great because he starts explaining

01:11:01.940 a little bit our capitalist system does here he is talking about the fixed pie where does this

01:11:08.260 you know kind of this um anger come from and right and it's and i said it's kind of you know

01:11:13.760 a tale of two economies and i think that really is what's going on but there are also some deep

01:11:19.700 misconceptions that are worth people thinking about and there are a lot of people who don't

01:11:27.660 understand that this kind of zero-sum fallacy right so you know they they think that if if

01:11:35.160 there's some a bunch of wealth over here that there's a fixed pie right you know we've got

01:11:39.660 one pizza and there are seven people and there are eight slices who's going to get two slices

01:11:45.360 that is not how economies work so it isn't a fixed pie it grows so and and people get um

01:11:54.580 they their mental model is that wealth is like water in a drought or food in a famine it's you

01:12:04.280 know you can you could hoard food in a famine you could hoard gasoline in an energy crisis

01:12:10.260 You could hoard water in a drought.

01:12:11.840 You could hoard toilet paper in a pandemic, as people did.

01:12:15.740 But you can't hoard investment, right?

01:12:19.220 So if you have stock in a company, that's not hoarding.

01:12:24.720 That's investing.

01:12:26.420 And investing is more like farming.

01:12:29.060 And you would definitely want to farm in a famine.

01:12:32.840 Do you see what I'm saying?

01:12:33.860 I do.

01:12:34.580 this the billions of dollars of investment that have come here have come from that amazon stock

01:12:40.760 right by the way when i sold that amazon stock i paid capital gains on it which is uh huh don't

01:12:46.340 even get me started on that huh the double taxation the triple taxation because he paid

01:12:51.200 taxes on the money that he then invested then when he gets a return on his investment he pays taxes

01:12:56.800 again on that and then when he dies he pays another tax on the estate tax they'll take 50

01:13:05.160 percent of it why how did we get there when our founders were all pissed off about an excise tax

01:13:15.920 or a quarter cent penny or quarter cent or half a cent yes yeah unbelievable you know the stamp

01:13:23.260 The stamp tax, where they paid it on not just stamps, but paper goods and things.

01:13:28.600 They were upset about that.

01:13:29.880 Yeah.

01:13:30.940 What would they say to what we've got going on now?

01:13:34.540 It's unbelievable.

01:13:36.260 It's the fixed pie situation is, you know, you don't.

01:13:42.140 I mean, we're not.

01:13:43.300 Well, he explains that, too.

01:13:45.200 Here's what he had to say about the fixed pie.

01:13:48.960 Is that what we just played?

01:13:50.180 I think it is.

01:13:50.740 Yeah.

01:13:51.000 Yeah.

01:13:51.400 We talked about the pizza.

01:13:52.760 Right.

01:13:52.940 Yeah, because that's kind of, I mean, we, you, have made this argument forever, that it's not one pie.

01:14:03.040 Right.

01:14:03.480 You make your own pie.

01:14:05.600 Exactly.

01:14:06.680 So if you have a pie and you cut it into sections, Jeff Bezos isn't taking the biggest part because he's got his own pie.

01:14:16.360 But I want some of what Jeff Bezos has got.

01:14:18.920 Okay, then make your own pie.

01:14:20.480 I want some of that over there.

01:14:21.720 No, you can't have that because he has it.

01:14:23.940 He baked his pie.

01:14:25.080 Now he's eating it.

01:14:26.540 You can bake your own pie.

01:14:28.700 I don't like what I've baked.

01:14:29.360 Because capitalism is a bakery.

01:14:31.480 I don't like what I've baked.

01:14:33.260 Or it's a pizza shop.

01:14:35.000 Or it's an ocean where you back up your truck and you put water in the ocean.

01:14:39.760 There's still plenty of water in the ocean.

01:14:41.980 Right, right, right.

01:14:43.460 It's so frustrating.

01:14:46.120 But what about high prices?

01:14:47.740 He discussed that as well with CNBC.

01:14:49.900 These people sometimes say that, you know, I don't pay taxes.

01:14:56.000 It's not true.

01:14:56.240 I pay billions of dollars in taxes.

01:14:58.700 And it's a perfect, again, if people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that

01:15:03.240 debate.

01:15:03.880 But don't pretend, you know, that that's going to solve the problem.

01:15:08.240 You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens.

01:15:13.380 I promise you.

01:15:15.720 So you can't connect those two things.

01:15:18.080 It's not logically.

01:15:19.760 You know, there are more examples.

01:15:22.100 Why is rent expensive?

01:15:24.280 Why is rent so expensive?

01:15:25.940 I recently saw somebody

01:15:27.020 on Airbnb.

01:15:28.520 That's right.

01:15:29.700 Airbnb is not the cost

01:15:31.160 of expensive rent.

01:15:32.120 In fact, it's been almost,

01:15:32.960 let me finish here.

01:15:33.700 One sec.

01:15:34.300 It's already been outlawed

01:15:35.740 in New York City

01:15:38.220 and rents are still very high.

01:15:39.560 So we know Airbnb

01:15:40.460 isn't causing high rents.

01:15:42.140 What's really causing high rent

01:15:43.780 is government intervention.

01:15:45.480 Thank you.

01:15:45.860 We subsidize demand with things like tax policy, which is fine.

01:15:52.220 But at the same time, we constrain supply.

01:15:56.180 We constrain supply with things like zoning and permitting.

01:15:59.720 Why does it take so long to get something permitted to build?

01:16:03.480 If you want rents to come down, Econ 101, really simple.

01:16:07.460 You need to, you can't sort of subsidize supply, I mean, sorry, subsidize demand and constrain supply.

01:16:17.220 If you do, prices are going to skyrocket.

01:16:19.340 But this is not anybody's fault other than government policy.

01:16:24.020 And this is fixable.

01:16:25.400 Again, this is a skills issue.

01:16:27.620 Well, fix it for us, Jeff.

01:16:30.000 They should put together an advisory council that he's part of.

01:16:33.480 Okay.

01:16:33.840 He and Elon and, I don't know, Tim Cook at Apple.

01:16:37.980 I love when he was talking, though, CNBC was cutting, and he said, hold on, I was speaking.

01:16:42.520 Yeah, let me finish here.

01:16:43.980 That was great.

01:16:44.880 He's not used to people talking.

01:16:46.560 No, he's not.

01:16:47.940 Usually when Jeff speaks, everyone just lets him go.

01:16:51.440 Yeah.

01:16:51.720 Yeah.

01:16:52.220 And you probably should, because he knows a couple of things.

01:16:55.600 But he's right.

01:16:57.040 If he's paying, I don't know what his tax bill is, but if he's paying $4 billion a year,

01:17:02.460 You can double that and make it $8 billion.

01:17:05.360 It's still going to the government.

01:17:07.320 It's not going to the nurse in Brooklyn.

01:17:09.640 It's not.

01:17:10.460 Queens, I'm sorry. 1.00

01:17:11.620 The Brooklyn chick's not getting anything. 0.90

01:17:13.180 No, neither is the one in Queens, frankly. 0.93

01:17:16.540 Because the government takes it and they squander it.

01:17:21.160 Now, Jeff Bezos, on a personal level, I'm sure he gives plenty to philanthropic charities and things.

01:17:25.920 He absolutely does.

01:17:27.900 He absolutely does.

01:17:29.920 And, you know, all billionaires do.

01:17:32.100 essentially. In fact, some of them have actually

01:17:34.340 vowed that they're going to give away their entire

01:17:36.520 fortune before they die.

01:17:38.640 My kids have to earn it, which is

01:17:40.320 kind of BS. I mean, they've already

01:17:42.240 set up trust funds. I'm sure.

01:17:44.360 But that's their money. They should do what

01:17:46.300 they want with it. Absolutely, they can.

01:17:48.940 Jeff has not said that, though.

01:17:50.400 No, he has not. The wife still

01:17:52.260 wants another new yacht or something. He's not given that.

01:17:56.080 But

01:17:56.480 it's his money. Again, he created

01:17:58.580 a company

01:18:00.300 that has revolutionized it.

01:18:01.900 Changed the world.

01:18:02.340 The United States of America.

01:18:03.800 Changed the world.

01:18:04.620 Yeah.

01:18:04.840 I mean, we expect things now.

01:18:06.220 He did that.

01:18:07.240 Steve Jobs did that.

01:18:08.480 Yes.

01:18:08.900 And they deserve a big reward for their efforts.

01:18:13.500 Absolutely.

01:18:14.680 Especially Jeff Bezos.

01:18:15.840 I mean, his Amazon has changed the world.

01:18:20.040 Sure has.

01:18:20.140 It's changed the way we expect goods to arrive.

01:18:23.400 It's changed how we get goods.

01:18:25.200 I mean, all of it.

01:18:26.180 I mean, it's incredible.

01:18:27.420 Yeah.

01:18:27.780 And in capitalist societies, there's a reward for that.

01:18:30.460 If you don't like it, you know, you can always move to Venezuela and see what happens there.

01:18:36.100 See if you like that a little bit better.

01:18:37.900 888-727-BECK.

01:18:39.820 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

01:18:42.840 Likes aren't love.

01:18:44.660 Retweets aren't showing up.

01:18:48.720 Real people still matter.

01:18:51.500 Glenn Beck, back in a moment.

01:18:53.320 Glenn Beck is on.

01:19:00.460 right now the voices in our culture are loud but the truth is often silent today pre-born needs

01:19:10.140 your help to speak the truth women facing unplanned pregnancies are pressured a lot of

01:19:14.600 time to act quickly before they have time to pause and hear the truth about life and dignity and hope

01:19:18.720 i refuse to be silent and i'm asking you to join me with pre-born at their network clinics a woman

01:19:23.600 is welcomed with compassion and given a free ultrasound the truth she sees the life growing

01:19:28.180 inside of her. And often it's for the first time. And in that sacred moment, fear gives way to

01:19:32.820 clarity. And she's offered something the abortion industry will never provide, the hope of Jesus

01:19:37.280 Christ. It's pre-born. Their goal is not to just save lives, but also save souls for eternity.

01:19:42.300 And they do it two at a time, mom and child. Pre-born Network clinics are trusting God as

01:19:46.640 they remain faithful to speak life and the truth. And you can make that possible by sponsoring

01:19:50.500 ultrasounds. $28 provides one ultrasound. $140 sponsors five ultrasounds for moms in crisis.

01:19:55.920 Every dollar helps save babies.

01:20:25.920 pat and jeffy for glenn today um we don't have time to play the whole thing but jeff bezos also

01:20:39.500 went on to talk about aoc and her claim that there shouldn't be any billionaires if you are

01:20:45.640 a billionaire that means you cheated you lied you stole your way to it and he's and he's like look

01:20:51.160 If you make a great service that people love or you make a great product, you're going to be a billionaire.

01:20:58.900 You're going to make a billion.

01:20:59.760 You made the analogy that you might start a burger place.

01:21:02.580 It's got to be good.

01:21:03.560 It has to be a really good burger.

01:21:05.640 And then you had another location.

01:21:07.500 And there's examples of that, the In-N-Out and Raising Cane.

01:21:11.240 That's chicken, not burgers.

01:21:12.580 But you get the process of it.

01:21:14.980 I mean, he was at his plant there in Merritt Island, Florida.

01:21:19.900 and they're doing their interview

01:21:22.000 and make it a big thing like it's at his

01:21:24.120 rocket shop. I had enough of the

01:21:26.080 construction site interviews.

01:21:27.880 We had Trump yesterday banging around.

01:21:30.220 Bezos doing the same thing.

01:21:32.100 Find a quiet office. Go to your conference room.

01:21:33.680 And do it there.

01:21:34.660 Yeah.

01:21:35.860 Exactly.

01:21:49.900 We'll be right back.

01:22:19.900 Pass it on.

01:22:22.460 Crank the game.

01:22:54.380 888-727-BECK.

01:22:57.380 There was a hearing.

01:22:58.500 We got to share this clip from Ted Cruz yesterday going up against Maisie Hirono.

01:23:05.740 It really isn't a fair fight, to be honest. 0.57

01:23:09.080 He decimates her.

01:23:11.920 And the whole Democrat Party.

01:23:14.080 Yes.

01:23:14.760 You don't want to miss this.

01:23:16.160 Coming up in 60 seconds.

01:23:17.940 You know, fortune favors the bold.

01:23:20.060 That phrase describes something important about the American spirit.

01:23:24.280 Unfortunately, there's another group of people who live by that same philosophy.

01:23:28.880 Criminals.

01:23:30.000 Because it takes a certain kind of boldness to walk up to somebody else's house

01:23:33.500 and decide you have a right to what's inside of it.

01:23:36.780 And these days, there are plenty of people who would love nothing more

01:23:40.940 than to break into your home, steal your property, and turn your life upside down.

01:23:45.780 That's why your home needs real protection.

01:25:04.500 yeah uh check this out thank you mr chairman just a moment ago our colleague senator herona said

01:25:10.860 there's a lot more to say. And indeed, she's right. And in fact, I want to go back to her

01:25:16.960 comments. She began by saying we have a long history of racial discrimination in this country.

01:25:21.280 That's undoubtedly correct. And then she said, quote, we had poll taxes, we had literacy tests, 1.00

01:25:28.720 we even had tests of how many jelly beans are in a jar. Mr. Chamberlain, when Senator Hirono says

01:25:34.940 we had poll taxes.

01:25:37.760 I want to ask you who we is, and in particular, what party was it that implemented poll taxes

01:25:43.400 in the South?

01:25:44.880 I don't want to necessarily speak in every single case, but I'm pretty confident it was

01:25:48.420 mostly the Democrats.

01:25:49.900 And what party was it that put literacy tests in place in the South?

01:25:53.620 Same answer, mostly the Democrats.

01:25:55.500 And what party was it that had tests like how many jelly beans are in a bottle?

01:25:58.860 The Democrats. 0.55

01:26:00.260 Tell me, what party were the founders of the Ku Klux Klan from? 0.81

01:26:06.660 I'm pretty sure that was the Democrats. 0.90

01:26:08.480 Indeed.

01:26:09.120 In fact, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Klan, was a delegate to the 1860 Democrat National Convention.

01:26:16.280 What party wrote the Jim Crow laws in the South?

01:26:19.000 The Democrats. 0.85

01:26:20.020 Democrats.

01:26:22.060 And so on this side of the aisle were members of the Republican Party.

01:26:26.360 Who was the first Republican president?

01:26:28.160 Abraham Lincoln.

01:26:28.880 The Republican Party was literally founded to oppose slavery.

01:26:34.500 We came into existence because slavery was a grotesque evil.

01:26:39.160 And it was President Lincoln, the first Republican president, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, who won the Civil War.

01:26:47.400 And that resulted in the freeing of the slaves and the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

01:26:54.440 Huh.

01:26:55.040 By the way, fast forward to the civil rights era.

01:26:57.760 Let's do that.

01:26:58.880 Bull Connor, one of the most noxiously racist politicians, what party was he from?

01:27:05.300 He was a Democrat.

01:27:06.700 The Democrats, for the entire history of their party, have been a party based on racial discrimination. 0.61

01:27:16.300 They affirmatively embrace it. 0.91

01:27:19.020 They support it.

01:27:22.000 Let me ask you, Mr. Grime, is discriminating based on race consistent with the United States Constitution?

01:27:28.880 No.

01:27:31.360 What does the 14th Amendment say about discrimination based on race?

01:27:36.120 It's prohibited.

01:27:37.500 What does the 15th Amendment say about discriminating based on race,

01:27:41.180 and in particular, drawing congressional lines and explicitly discriminating based on race?

01:27:46.780 It's prohibited.

01:27:48.500 Now, the Democrats are fond of telling this story that is,

01:27:56.400 and I wish I could find a kinder way to say it, a flat-out lie,

01:28:00.540 that without discriminating based on race, 0.65

01:28:04.720 that no African Americans will be elected and no Hispanics will be elected.

01:28:11.180 Indeed, there was one fellow online who was a vocal left-wing spokesperson

01:28:17.300 who tweeted out, if I'm advising anybody to run for president,

01:28:21.220 they sure as hell better have a solution to how you make sure 0.76

01:28:24.080 that it's not another hundred years before another black person can represent South Carolina. 0.96

01:28:31.760 So that's a typical Democrat statement, that we cannot elect a black person in South Carolina 0.78

01:28:37.500 without discriminating based on race. I want to ask you, Mr. Chamberlain,

01:28:42.860 who is the junior senator from South Carolina right now? That would be Tim Scott.

01:28:48.240 And, all right, I'll tell you what I said online.

01:28:51.400 I said, hey, Grock, who is Tim Scott?

01:28:54.840 And why do Democrats think he isn't black?

01:28:58.160 And by the way, was Tim Scott elected because of a gerrymandered district drawn only to elect an African-American?

01:29:05.580 No, he won statewide.

01:29:06.720 He won statewide. 0.68

01:29:08.680 By the way, the Democrat position is you can only elect African-Americans with a gerrymandered district.

01:29:16.520 I will point out Burgess Owens, an African-American, is elected in the majority white district in the state of Utah.

01:29:21.880 He's a Republican.

01:29:23.280 Byron Donalds, another African-American, is elected in the majority white district in Florida.

01:29:27.820 He is a Republican.

01:29:29.240 John James, another African-American, is elected in the majority white district in Michigan.

01:29:34.420 He is a Republican.

01:29:35.420 And my own congressman, Wesley Hunt, who represents me in the House of Representatives,

01:29:40.360 he is elected in the majority white district.

01:29:42.740 He is a Republican. 0.52

01:29:43.640 And yet in the Democrats' world, you're not black if you're not a liberal Democrat. 0.83

01:29:51.120 There is an arrogance to African-American voters. 0.76

01:29:54.640 By the way, they also have that same arrogance to Hispanic voters. 0.56

01:29:59.240 They say you're not Hispanic if you're not a liberal Democrat.

01:30:03.420 Well, I'll tell you, I am proud to be the first Hispanic ever elected to represent the state of Texas in the United States Senate.

01:30:11.120 And, Mr. Chamberlain, in my election in Texas, was I elected in a gerrymandered district that could only elect an Hispanic?

01:30:19.120 No, you were elected statewide.

01:30:22.280 Discrimination based on race is wrong.

01:30:26.500 Final question.

01:30:28.000 The Democrats are now clutching their pearls that seats drawn to elect liberal Democrats in the South are going to go away. 1.00

01:30:35.860 You may get black Republicans instead. 0.95

01:30:37.420 Indeed, in Tennessee, they're freaking out that a liberal white guy who's a Democrat 0.88

01:30:42.380 is likely going to lose his seat to an African-American woman who's a Republican,

01:30:46.680 and they say that's horrible racial oppression.

01:30:51.240 My final question is this.

01:30:53.020 If you look nationwide, which party has egregiously abused gerrymandering for decades?

01:31:02.240 Both parties are guilty of it, but who has been the worst offender?

01:31:06.440 And in particular, take New England, take Massachusetts, take Connecticut, take Rhode Island, take Maine, take Vermont, take New Hampshire.

01:31:14.380 How many Republicans are elected from all of New England in the House of Representatives?

01:31:18.680 I think the answer to that is zero.

01:31:20.260 Zero. They've drawn every district in a naked gerrymander.

01:31:23.960 And yet they're very upset that their illegal pursuit of power has now been stopped by the Supreme Court that is enforcing the Constitution and prohibiting the racial gerrymandering and discrimination their party is built on.

01:31:36.440 Mr. Chairman, part of personal privilege

01:31:40.200 I feel personally aggrieved

01:31:44.080 to sit here and to be lectured by my colleague

01:31:48.340 from Texas. And this reminds me of the time when

01:31:51.720 he was first elected to the Senate and the Judiciary Committee

01:31:56.200 had a hearing on gun safety and he felt a need to

01:32:00.280 lecture Dianne Feinstein who was a leader on gun safety

01:32:04.020 legislation, and he took that opportunity to lecture Dianne Feinstein about gun safety

01:32:09.760 and her leadership on the issue.

01:32:11.100 Talk about what he said.

01:32:11.120 Talk about his science to you.

01:32:12.340 And she said to him something along the lines of, I did not sit here on this committee for

01:32:16.860 however many years she did, only to be lectured by you.

01:32:20.860 And that is how I feel.

01:32:22.000 So why don't you just stop lecturing the rest of us?

01:32:25.140 Just because you think you are the smartest person in the world doesn't mean the rest

01:32:29.040 of us agree to that.

01:32:30.320 Okay, thank you.

01:32:30.960 Senator Hirono, I knew Dianne Feinstein.

01:32:34.200 I served with Dianne Feinstein, and you're not Dianne Feinstein.

01:32:36.780 All right, Senator Padilla.

01:32:38.160 We're done.

01:32:39.420 She couldn't address any of the substance of that brilliant eight-minute speech.

01:32:46.560 So great.

01:32:47.400 How would she even address it at all?

01:32:48.460 No.

01:32:48.980 Well, because she can't. 1.00

01:32:49.920 She should just sit there and shut up. 1.00

01:32:51.440 Yeah. 0.99

01:32:51.800 There's nothing she could say to it.

01:32:53.280 It's all fact.

01:32:54.680 Just take the meeting and leave it alone.

01:32:57.140 But she can't.

01:32:57.820 She can't.

01:32:58.380 She can't. 0.99

01:32:58.960 because slavery, Democrats, 0.99

01:33:02.580 civil rights opposition, Democrats,

01:33:05.960 Jim Crow laws, Democrats, 0.58

01:33:08.420 the KKK, Democrats, all of it. 0.51

01:33:13.040 Through the years,

01:33:14.440 the entire existence of this country,

01:33:17.340 somehow, I don't know, somehow miraculously,

01:33:19.600 they've turned this around on Republicans,

01:33:22.240 which shows how good they are at deflecting

01:33:25.200 the blame that should be placed directly on their shoulders

01:33:28.900 and they blame others.

01:33:30.920 But what a great eight minutes from Ted Cruz.

01:33:34.960 It was a good beat down.

01:33:35.580 So good.

01:33:36.460 It was a good beat down.

01:33:37.140 She deserves it.

01:33:38.460 I don't know that it worked.

01:33:40.980 I don't know that it matters, especially to her.

01:33:43.840 Yeah, it doesn't.

01:33:45.200 I don't know that she understood it.

01:33:48.100 Probably not.

01:33:49.540 She didn't seem to, did she?

01:33:50.660 No, she did not.

01:33:51.660 I won't be lectured by you.

01:33:54.680 Well, you just were.

01:33:56.480 Right.

01:33:57.820 That's too bad.

01:33:58.900 Right.

01:33:59.660 Tough.

01:34:02.480 Oh, man.

01:34:04.480 Agonizing.

01:34:05.000 I mean, you are, and I will, I mean, Dianne Feinstein was a nightmare.

01:34:09.440 She was.

01:34:10.800 Maisie is no Dianne Feinstein.

01:34:12.880 No.

01:34:13.220 That's for sure.

01:34:13.900 Ted Cruz is 100% true.

01:34:16.440 I mean, through that entire beatdown, everything he said was spot on.

01:34:21.860 No question.

01:34:23.380 No question.

01:34:24.760 Then we've got Rand Paul, another really good Republican

01:34:27.580 who is still trying to make justice happen.

01:34:32.860 He won't.

01:34:33.320 He just needs to, man, let it up, man.

01:34:36.060 What are you?

01:34:36.580 He is a dog with a bone on this Anthony Fauci thing. 0.66

01:34:41.380 He's still going after Fauci.

01:34:43.840 Here he is with Matt Kibbe.

01:34:46.560 I think this was yesterday.

01:34:48.680 Watch what he had to say about Fauci.

01:34:51.920 Cut 11.

01:34:53.340 You know, to us, it was extraordinary that from the very beginning, the CIA scientists that were hired to look at this said it looked like it came from the lab.

01:35:01.700 All of the evidence seemed to point towards that this was a lab leak, in all likelihood accidental, but that it came from the lab in Wuhan, China.

01:35:09.060 And yet they were being overruled by people.

01:35:11.920 Specifically, the whistleblower said that Anthony Fauci came in 2020 and they had a 90-day period in which all the intel was going through the National Intelligence Center.

01:35:20.940 they were going to come up with a conclusion of what everybody was thinking that Anthony Fauci

01:35:25.460 was brought in and basically they took his opinion over all their scientists and their scientists

01:35:30.400 were nearly unanimous it was like six out of seven of the scientists that were experts in this field

01:35:35.920 all said it came from the lab Anthony Fauci comes in and says no but the one question they never

01:35:41.520 ask and this is the real sort of conspiracy and people say what is the conspiracy is it people

01:35:46.520 rubbing their hands together and making money were they all in a cabal it's not really

01:35:50.620 it's not really as sexy as that. It's more that they have the same convergence of interests. You

01:35:56.500 know, George Carlin said, you don't need to have a conspiracy to explain something where interests

01:36:00.680 converge. And the interest is basically covering their tracks because they funded this dangerous

01:36:05.200 research. It was a serious mistake in judgment, maybe one of the worst mistakes in judgment of

01:36:11.320 the last century to fund dangerous gain of function research in Wuhan. They weren't supposed to. They

01:36:16.540 funded now this virus takes off so what do they do for the next several years even people didn't

01:36:21.260 know each other they're all doing the same thing we don't want any anything to link us to funding

01:36:25.660 this and so we'll just deny that it was gain of function so i think the shocking thing was that

01:36:30.720 how much power anthony fauci had even in the cia this isn't the nih this is the cia that anthony

01:36:36.900 fauci's influencing right wow right and he's ed look fauci has said we've seen his testimony

01:36:42.720 right we've heard his testimony that he believes look well we weren't doing gain of function well

01:36:48.680 because they you know through uh obama was the one that shut that down but the point was dr

01:36:55.600 fauci is that you were funding the labs that were doing gain of function yeah so it was it was it

01:37:03.340 was all just a front so then he tried to deflect away from the labs that he was funding which is

01:37:09.500 why he was so adamant about that and even if some of that timeline and i i don't remember at all i'm

01:37:15.040 sure rand paul does but some of that timeline also showed that uh well and this is was fauci's thing

01:37:21.400 is i was giving money to these people uh what those people did with the money i had nothing to

01:37:26.880 do with so he was you know he was funding uh one of groups of scientists that would then give money

01:37:34.420 to another group of scientists that were doing gain-of-function.

01:37:38.340 So he was, I've got nothing to do with that.

01:37:40.720 Yeah.

01:37:41.120 Oh, okay.

01:37:42.500 Okay.

01:37:43.160 And then we find out that he was, you know,

01:37:45.100 they were all taking his word for it.

01:37:46.880 He was in control of them all.

01:37:48.820 Then somehow they tried to make it a racist situation

01:37:51.780 that anybody would dare even bring China into this discussion.

01:37:56.340 That's where it came from. 0.73

01:37:58.320 Right.

01:37:58.700 What are you talking about?

01:38:00.540 Why is that racist?

01:38:01.980 How is that racist?

01:38:03.160 I don't know.

01:38:03.860 But to Democrats, like Ted Cruz pointed out, everything is racist.

01:38:08.440 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:38:09.380 They practically invented racism. 1.00

01:38:11.860 They sure did. 0.78

01:38:12.440 Yeah.

01:38:12.720 And look, then it was the bat, right?

01:38:16.420 It was the lab leak and the bat that they were pushing.

01:38:19.620 Somebody was eating bat soup that was tainted with COVID. 0.99

01:38:23.060 Yeah. 0.98

01:38:23.540 And it was tainted with COVID because-

01:38:25.040 But that wasn't racist to say that Chinese are eating bats.

01:38:28.640 That wasn't racist. 0.85

01:38:29.800 Because the bats were being sold out the back door of the Wuhan lab.

01:38:36.140 And because they had bats that had been tested, they were, I heard this one report, because

01:38:42.600 they were, the bats had been tested, they were already in this scared mode.

01:38:47.900 And when they're in this scared mode, they create this thing in their body that people

01:38:54.340 shouldn't eat.

01:38:55.000 And then it was sold at the market, and people were eating, and that's COVID-19.

01:39:01.340 Oh, okay.

01:39:04.080 Sure.

01:39:05.200 That makes more sense than it came from the lab.

01:39:07.860 Yeah, makes much more sense.

01:39:09.880 All right, 888-727-BEC, more coming up in a second.

01:39:14.100 When most people think about self-defense, they tend to think in extremes.

01:39:18.060 Either you do nothing and hope the situation just kind of works itself out,

01:39:22.100 or you're forced into a decision that could change your life forever in a matter of seconds.

01:39:27.860 The truth is, most dangerous situations don't require lethal force.

01:39:32.760 In fact, according to FBI statistics, less than one one-hundredth of a percent of altercations ever do.

01:39:39.860 But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be left.

01:39:41.880 You should be left defenseless either.

01:39:43.660 You should have something that gives you distance, gives you time,

01:39:47.240 and gives you a way to protect yourself and your family

01:39:49.860 without immediately crossing a line that you can never uncross.

01:39:53.980 That's what Berna is.

01:39:55.600 The Berna Launcher fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds

01:39:59.360 that can stop an attacker from up to 60 feet away,

01:40:03.020 and it does it without requiring a permit or a background check.

01:40:07.700 It's legal in all 50 states, which also makes it perfect for summer travel.

01:40:13.160 Every family should have one because feeling safe shouldn't depend on,

01:40:16.600 you know, just entirely luck.

01:40:54.660 You know, I was just looking at the 10 most reputable companies in America

01:40:59.820 per an Axio-Harris poll, ranking on 2026 100 score based on reputation index.

01:41:10.900 They had the 10 most reputable companies.

01:41:24.420 Reputable companies.

01:41:25.860 Patagonia.

01:41:26.440 Patagonia.

01:41:26.940 This is at 80.

01:41:29.220 And they've gone down.

01:41:30.240 They were at 82 in 2025.

01:41:32.940 Trader Joe's at 80.9.

01:41:36.400 They've gone down a little bit, too.

01:41:37.640 They were at 82.1.

01:41:39.540 Athletic Brewing Company, number eight.

01:41:42.700 The Athletic Brewing Company.

01:41:44.380 Food and Beverage, yeah.

01:41:45.320 All right.

01:41:45.860 Great, 80, 81.

01:41:48.840 Alo Yoga, that's an apparel company.

01:41:52.820 Okay.

01:41:53.460 Not familiar with them, but okay.

01:41:56.280 You should come to one of my yoga classes.

01:41:59.340 That's what you should do.

01:42:00.740 I should.

01:42:01.440 Then you'd want to get some Alo Yoga merchandise.

01:45:27.400 888-727-BECK.

01:45:30.320 There is a battle going on right now for the soul of America, frankly.

01:45:37.080 And we'll see where it ends up. 0.99

01:45:40.260 Right now in Texas, there are huge areas of land that are being dedicated to only Muslims, frankly. 0.82

01:45:53.120 Just if you're a member of Islam, can you live in that society?

01:45:57.400 There's one near Plano called Epic City that, you know, a mosque is right in there. 0.84

01:46:03.120 A giant mosque is in the middle of it, and then there's an Islamic center,

01:46:06.260 and everybody in the community is Islamic.

01:46:10.280 Now, is that legal in America?

01:46:12.840 Can you exclude people of other faiths from moving into an area? 1.00

01:46:18.440 They're doing it. 1.00

01:46:19.400 Well, the answer is no.

01:46:20.580 You can't. 1.00

01:46:21.100 And they will tell you that, right, the one head Muslim guy that we saw speaking somewhere. 0.99

01:46:32.240 Was he an imam or something?

01:46:33.620 Yeah, sure.

01:46:35.480 Are you talking about the podcast they did where they bragged about it?

01:46:38.120 Yeah, and he said that you can move in. 0.98

01:46:44.280 You can come and look at the house and you can move in, but all your money goes to the mosque, 1.00

01:46:48.800 and they're going to make it very difficult. 1.00

01:46:51.920 Your life is not going to be one of,

01:46:55.140 hey, there's our friendly neighbors.

01:46:57.260 Right. 1.00

01:46:57.980 Yeah, they made it clear that they only want Muslims. 1.00

01:47:00.820 Right, right. 1.00

01:47:01.940 That's the whole thing.

01:47:02.800 And the concern was that they were going to establish Sharia law,

01:47:06.160 which would, of course, be unconstitutional. 1.00

01:47:08.040 And they will.

01:47:08.600 They can't do that.

01:47:09.080 And they will.

01:47:09.380 And they will and have.

01:47:10.480 Yes.

01:47:11.660 And so I assume you're getting the call to prayer

01:47:14.180 and all of those things every morning, five times a day, whatever.

01:47:17.740 And so there's another situation now in neighboring Frisco, which is an upscale neighborhood, an upscale town in the Dallas metropolitan area.

01:47:30.200 And so in Frisco, they had a city council meeting and some people showed up to testify about it because they're considering a Hindu tent, two Hindu temples and a giant mosque in Frisco now as well.

01:47:43.100 and so they invited comment and here's one of the people that shows up joel teamy who apparently

01:47:50.840 doesn't want mosques uh in frisco texas or necessarily anywhere in america but uh check

01:47:57.840 out what he had to say about this next is joel teamy from iowa city iowa after that we'll have

01:48:05.000 kelly smith from aubrey love kelly smith good evening council members it's a pleasure to speak

01:48:10.680 before you this evening thank you for hearing everybody and giving everybody a chance to speak

01:48:15.360 you're welcome you may be asking yourselves what is a guy from iowa doing here yeah in this town

01:48:21.120 to speak on this issue what's a guy from iowa doing here well actually i come from texas royalty

01:48:26.160 my great-grandfather was the first president of the texas republic and for a lot of you that might

01:48:33.320 sound crazy wait a minute texas was a republic but yes it was yes it was and my great-grandfather

01:48:40.740 was sam houston oh wow nice okay that's pretty cool also another great-grandfather of mine was

01:48:52.100 davy crockett who fought in the alamo wait what think about it for a second think about it okay

01:48:56.860 Wait, okay, so his great-grandfathers were Sam Houston and Davey Crockett?

01:49:05.420 I mean, give that guy $200.

01:49:08.040 Do not pass code.

01:49:09.400 Go ahead and collect $200.

01:49:11.760 I mean, you should be ruling Texas right now.

01:49:14.360 And he lives in Iowa.

01:49:16.120 And he lives in Iowa.

01:49:17.200 Lives in Iowa.

01:49:18.080 What are you doing there?

01:49:19.620 Now, I guess he's preaching there or something with his family,

01:49:22.820 but if he's a Texas royalty.

01:49:24.200 I think he's going to explain it.

01:49:25.300 He does.

01:49:25.760 I don't, frankly, I don't want to cast dispersions on him.

01:49:29.760 I'm not calling him a liar.

01:49:30.880 I'm just saying I slightly doubt that he is the great-great-grandson of both of these men.

01:49:39.420 Wow.

01:49:39.900 I want to see.

01:49:40.920 Wow.

01:49:41.480 I want to see the Ancestor.com family tree.

01:49:44.660 That's what I want to see.

01:49:45.780 I want him to print it out and show it to us.

01:49:48.900 Now, he's not going to do that, but that's what it's going to take for me.

01:49:51.400 Houston had eight children with his third wife.

01:49:57.760 What about Davy Crockett?

01:49:59.060 Davy Crockett.

01:50:00.680 And do they share relatives?

01:50:02.200 I mean, do they come down into the tree somewhere?

01:50:05.120 According to Grok, there is no known historical or genealogical link connecting him to Timmy.

01:50:14.600 Right.

01:50:14.980 That's what I'm finding out on the AI overview on Google as well.

01:50:19.700 It says, the claim that Joel Teamey is a direct descendant of Texas legends

01:50:23.980 Sam Houston and Davy Crockett appears to be a personal assertion

01:50:29.300 rather than a widely documented historical fact.

01:50:32.840 I don't know if it's completely out of the realm of possibility,

01:50:35.680 but it seems unlikely.

01:50:36.360 As soon as he said it, I thought, oh, my gosh.

01:50:39.580 Me too.

01:50:41.360 There's another great-grandson of Sam Houston and Davy Crockett.

01:50:46.180 Wow.

01:50:46.780 I thought I was the only one.

01:50:48.460 What are the odds?

01:50:49.460 I know.

01:50:50.940 Huh.

01:50:51.800 I'm a little embarrassed now to admit this, but I am the great, great grandson of not just Sam Houston and Davy Crockett, but also George Washington.

01:51:06.820 Yeah, well, I mean, along with.

01:51:08.880 And Abraham Lincoln.

01:51:10.460 I wasn't done yet, if you don't mind.

01:51:12.540 You don't mind.

01:51:12.980 Sorry.

01:51:14.240 And Thomas Jefferson.

01:51:16.600 Okay.

01:51:17.700 Wow.

01:51:18.240 Yeah.

01:51:18.820 So, top that if you can.

01:51:20.680 I can't.

01:51:21.260 You can't.

01:51:21.900 I can't.

01:51:22.900 Exactly right.

01:51:24.060 No one can.

01:51:24.920 I guarantee you that.

01:51:26.300 Anyway, let's let's let him continue here.

01:51:28.560 That wasn't exactly the point, but no, it was not.

01:51:30.900 Here he goes.

01:51:31.280 If I go back even further than that, my great, great, great grandfathers fought under General George Washington in the Continental Army.

01:51:40.200 All right.

01:51:41.340 But he's not a direct.

01:51:41.980 I was born on Langley Air Force Base.

01:51:44.180 almost every single one of my family members has served in the u.s armed forces that's cool me i

01:51:49.920 took a different route i went into ministry traveled to 58 countries preaching the gospel 0.70

01:51:54.500 i was kidnapped and held hostage in 2021 by islamists in the middle east this guy's lived 0.91

01:52:03.240 a life while on a missions trip to take care of the coptic widows and fatherless 0.72

01:52:08.460 if you remember the 21 men that were beheaded on that beach in ice by isis in libya i do i was

01:52:16.340 taking care of their families my children have lived on the mission field on the front lines

01:52:23.220 even my kids my oldest are eight years old and their friends were killed by muslims 1.00

01:52:30.960 I don't want to bring any mosque to Texas, ever. 1.00

01:52:36.560 We shouldn't have one here. 1.00

01:52:37.820 It's incompatible with what it means to be an American. 1.00

01:52:42.440 The oldest mosque in the United States actually is about 50 minutes from where I live now, 1.00

01:52:46.780 where I raised my family.

01:52:48.040 I'm 29 years old.

01:52:49.040 I have six children.

01:52:50.960 I'm one of 17 children, a Catholic family,

01:52:54.120 most of whom live in this area, by the way.

01:52:57.080 my brother is married to an indian she was a muslim indian and when she came to america

01:53:06.060 she converted to catholicism learned english and married her husband my brother and that's

01:53:13.460 what assimilation looks like when she was looking for a place of worship she didn't suggest building

01:53:18.420 a mosque she decided to go to a church because that's where we worship as americans in this

01:53:23.940 country the question is for texans what does it mean to be texan this question is very important

01:53:31.660 because as we build temples in this state we are changing the layout and the structure

01:53:38.560 and the fabric of this beautiful texas state so listen this is not what we want

01:53:46.580 christ is king may god bless america and stay true to your roots thank god bless you guys

01:53:53.200 Fight for it.

01:53:54.100 All right.

01:53:54.640 Thank you, Joel.

01:53:55.400 Okay.

01:53:55.960 There you go.

01:53:57.080 All right.

01:53:58.920 So there's a lot there.

01:54:01.280 There's a lot there.

01:54:02.020 There's a lot there.

01:54:02.640 The family lineage, the life he's led, and he's just 29.

01:54:07.200 Pretty amazing stuff.

01:54:08.480 Anyway, his point is, all right, can we stop?

01:54:11.760 Can we take a breath here?

01:54:13.460 Can we look at what's happening?

01:54:15.120 Because you couple this with the fact that they have told us what they're trying to do.

01:54:20.560 many of them have said look there's going to be uh and a muslim in every household every

01:54:28.280 household is going to be muslim america will be an islamic state i mean they're they flat out tell

01:54:34.760 us that on a regular basis so at some point you have to stop and listen and say well wait no

01:54:40.780 no and things like this the mosque the hindu temples all of that are leading to that um and

01:54:49.180 And so it's a little bit alarming.

01:54:51.360 It is. 0.99

01:54:51.720 And it's a little alarming, even more alarming in places that are allowing, you know, this immigration to move into their areas. 1.00

01:55:00.520 Yeah. 0.99

01:55:01.160 And it's very, it's hard sometimes.

01:55:06.660 It's something we need to pay attention to.

01:55:07.840 It's hard sometimes.

01:55:08.560 Because, you know, I'm taking them at their word.

01:55:11.180 This is their goal.

01:55:12.660 Because many of them have told us that's the goal.

01:55:15.480 Right. 1.00

01:55:15.740 For everybody to be Islamic and not by choice, by the way, we're going to force you to be either, either you become Muslim or you can die. 1.00

01:55:26.760 Right. 1.00

01:55:27.300 Or you can pay a tax.

01:55:29.160 And we don't have to play the clip, but, you know, Jake Lang was there and he goes around to all the, all the fires around America.

01:55:36.220 And he was there, there in Frisco and he, you know, called the city council spineless and they should throw out some words that they didn't appreciate. 0.99

01:55:44.800 and another Muslim mosque.

01:55:47.680 According to this post from Jake,

01:55:49.640 there are 253 mosques in Texas already.

01:55:54.940 Well, we had a figure a few weeks ago

01:55:57.760 we were talking about the mosque situation

01:56:00.800 around the country.

01:56:01.860 And I think it was 299.

01:56:04.400 Okay.

01:56:04.860 Or was it even more than that?

01:56:06.600 I don't know.

01:56:07.180 Let's look it up.

01:56:07.800 That doesn't surprise me.

01:56:09.000 But there's a lot.

01:56:09.900 There is a lot.

01:56:10.560 There are a lot.

01:56:11.100 And Jake goes to Dearborn

01:56:13.780 And he goes around the country and, you know, he says things that people, you know, people don't want to hear it.

01:56:23.020 Right.

01:56:23.220 But he's there in the fire.

01:56:25.160 No question.

01:56:26.300 Now, I will say that, you know, he got thrown out.

01:56:28.760 He claimed that he got thrown out after his tirade at the city council.

01:56:35.120 But, you know, the mayor of Frisco, this was just an administrative vote on a decades-old zoning thing.

01:56:45.860 So I'm sure that they're going to end up being okay with it, with the two temples and the new mosque.

01:56:52.980 I'm sure they didn't take either of these guys seriously.

01:56:55.160 Well, no, he said even outside agitators attended and disrupted our council meeting.

01:57:02.160 Those agitators don't represent the sentiment of most of our residents.

01:57:07.620 Is that true, though?

01:57:08.440 I feel like the answer to that is no.

01:57:10.660 Our community celebrates our diversity and will continue to do so.

01:57:16.800 The actual number, apparently, according to AI, is 330 to 350 in Texas.

01:57:25.000 Wow.

01:57:26.300 So that 250 number is way low.

01:57:29.160 Yeah, that's way low.

01:57:29.940 So, I don't know.

01:57:33.360 It's an issue.

01:57:33.980 Do we need 356?

01:57:38.800 How many do we need?

01:57:40.480 I don't know.

01:57:40.900 I don't know what the good number is.

01:57:43.060 All right.

01:59:26.440 888-727-BECK.

01:59:28.940 This is interesting.

01:59:30.060 Todd Blanche, who is the acting attorney general,

01:59:33.040 just indicted, Raul Castro.

01:59:36.160 Check this out.

01:59:38.320 Cut one.

01:59:41.240 Hard to find there, though.

01:59:42.440 Nations and their leaders cannot be permitted to target Americans,

01:59:49.000 kill them, and not face accountability.

01:59:53.080 president trump is committed to restoring a very simple but important principle 1.00

01:59:57.740 if you kill americans we will pursue you no matter who you are no matter what title you hold

02:00:03.320 and in this case no matter how much time has passed okay does that mean we're going to go 0.98

02:00:09.280 get him like we did with maduro i don't know i mean i don't know it's uh he's the former president

02:00:14.020 he's 94 now um you know is he really 94 murder and uh you know conspiracy to kill u.s nationals

02:00:22.500 Okay.

02:00:23.120 You know, the indictment's cute, but are we going to?

02:00:27.520 I mean, we've been saber-rattling about Cuba as well.

02:00:30.060 Look, we've got.

02:00:30.720 We've got Venezuela.

02:00:32.460 We want Greenland.

02:00:33.660 We have Greenland, my friend.

02:00:34.400 According to you, we've already taken Greenland.

02:00:35.700 The Greenland is ours. 1.00

02:00:37.520 Iran. 0.94

02:00:38.700 Now Cuba, I guess.

02:00:40.000 I guess we're going to take Cuba as well. 0.63

02:00:42.440 Yeah, I mean, we could take Cuba before Iran. 0.96

02:00:44.540 I mean, let's just make that happen. 0.95

02:00:45.980 Let's just take it down.

02:00:46.980 I mean, it's 90 miles away.

02:00:48.220 Just take it.

02:00:48.560 Yeah, it's ours.

02:00:49.200 It's taken.

02:00:49.620 All we have to do is go there and put a flag down.

02:00:51.520 Kind of interesting.

02:00:52.400 Are we going to do that?

02:00:53.340 Are we going to go in and grab him too?

02:00:54.960 Are we still keeping them from getting oil?

02:00:57.060 I mean, are they still going dark in Cuba?

02:01:00.040 Are they still receiving under the radar tankers of oil to stay alive?

02:01:08.240 I think so, yeah.

02:01:09.000 I think they are, aren't they?

02:01:10.280 Yeah.

02:01:10.420 I mean, holy cow.

02:01:11.040 It's not a good situation, right?

02:01:12.200 No, it is not.

02:01:13.400 I mean, things were bad enough in Cuba as it was. 0.99

02:01:15.700 Right.

02:01:16.820 So, yeah, that's.

02:01:18.900 I mean, do we go get Raul and send choppers in to get Raul?

02:01:24.580 And if we're going to do that, we might as well grab Mexico, too, while we're at it.

02:01:28.800 Let's go ahead and take that.

02:01:31.560 I can guarantee you President Trump probably would be okay with that.

02:01:35.660 I think he would at this point.

02:01:38.380 And if you're in Mexico, I mean, Guatemala's right there.

02:01:42.600 So, while we're at it.

02:01:44.520 That whole peninsula there.

02:01:46.040 Yeah, might as well.

02:01:46.800 All the way.

02:01:47.320 They like to call it Central America. 0.94

02:01:50.360 It should be Central United States.

02:01:53.540 That way you don't need a passport to go to any of those places.

02:01:57.420 The Gulf of America touches all of them.

02:02:00.980 Makes perfect sense. 0.92

02:02:01.960 It does.

02:02:02.980 It does.

02:02:03.780 Makes perfect sense.

02:02:05.040 And I mean, Canada, too.

02:02:06.720 We've already talked about it becoming the 51st state.

02:02:08.960 I don't want it to be a state, but a province wouldn't be bad,

02:02:11.640 or a territory wouldn't be bad.

02:02:13.540 Yeah, we're not making it a statehood.

02:02:16.160 No.

02:02:16.680 I want to stay at the even 50 number. 1.00

02:02:19.420 I think that's a great number.

02:02:20.880 So don't make it a state, but we'll make it a territory.

02:02:24.680 Well, we're at it.

02:02:25.580 You're a cute little territory for us.

02:02:27.400 Thank you.

02:02:27.920 It's adorable.

02:02:29.180 And you play these cute little games.

02:02:30.940 You know, curling, adorable.

02:02:34.020 Riding the Mounties and everything.

02:02:36.360 It's all cute.

02:02:37.360 Yeah, it is.

02:02:38.460 All right.

02:02:38.920 We will see you back here tomorrow to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.

02:02:42.520 Have a great day.

02:02:46.680 It is on!
