Summary

Glenn is on vacation this week, but we'll hold down the fort until he gets back. Today, we discuss the indictments of Donald J. Trump and others in the Russia investigation, and why the idea of keeping documents in a closet to keep them safe from the public is a bad idea.

00:03:32.000 all about politics no yeah yeah they will i think they will i think that where would they get that
00:03:37.340 idea from though i don't these right-wing kooks you know the ideas they come up with uh spur of the
00:03:42.760 moment i they're just so nutty uh but the some will say uh donald trump was indicted simply because
00:03:51.980 of political reasons and uh wow it's true uh he was first u.s president former or otherwise to be
00:04:03.000 indicted on federal criminal charges so uh fascinating and it's all over the document thing it's all over the
00:04:10.920 uh mar-a-lago documents that he had that you know i what are you what is he he's he's indicted on
00:04:19.140 espionage espionage charges well i think you know we've obviously all seen spy movies right yeah and
00:04:25.480 most of the spy movies are based on a person with uh legal access to documents that then stores them
00:04:32.620 in their closet most of them they're almost all like that yeah like most of them are like okay wow
00:04:37.820 oh the drama is here and then you find out oh he kept them in his closet and that then they bring
00:04:42.840 him into court yeah when you think of like a james bond scenario yeah that's exactly what comes to
00:04:48.500 mind right isn't it not that they sold them to spies right they sold them to foreign entities which
00:04:54.040 he didn't do they tried to profit billions of dollars off a nuclear secret that's you know that's
00:04:58.920 sometimes there's an occasional movie that sounds like that but most of them are hey wait a minute
00:05:04.380 that area where the closet was was too highly trafficked that's usually this the plot for
00:05:10.100 most bond films so that area is too highly trafficked but the garage where joe robinette
00:05:17.680 biden stores his uh corvette nobody's ever been in there and it is impenetrable right you saw
00:05:26.540 mission impossible the one where tom cruise was hanging down for the cables and he was uh in that
00:05:32.180 garage when he was trying to break into the garage that's where that shot that was filmed there it's
00:05:36.200 it was a joke because they had the laser security system garage in there yeah right that's how that
00:05:40.780 happened right yeah you would think there's so many ways to go here it's crazy i think the most obvious
00:05:47.540 one uh is the fact that trump is in the middle of a bunch of investigations by his political opponent
00:05:53.080 and what are the ramifications of that but can i take one little half step back from that first pat
00:05:59.180 you may am i the only one who doesn't really care if donald trump or joe biden had a few documents
00:06:09.660 from their time in office yeah that were in their garage or closet yeah i just don't really care you
00:06:16.380 don't you don't care i just don't care oh my gosh these are documents now again like espionage okay
00:06:23.140 let's say the guy who was um recently leaking stuff to his discord group remember this he had the
00:06:29.640 the documents about you know the ukraine war and he was leaking them to his friends at this yeah
00:06:34.280 yeah you can see how something like that could be a real problem yeah he shouldn't have had access to
00:06:39.640 those documents he put them out into a public forum a bunch of people who should have had no access to
00:06:45.560 that information whatsoever got access to that information right real problem we don't know what
00:06:52.040 happened to it uh maybe it could leak two foreign entities maybe it could threaten american security
00:06:57.180 maybe it could threaten ukrainian security which seems to be much more what they're interested in
00:07:02.720 that's way more sacrosanct than american security exactly are you kidding me i can see why that would
00:07:09.160 be a real thing to be concerned about now look this guy's evident you know his motivation in this case
00:07:13.980 seems to be kind of like i wanted to be cool among my friend group i don't know that this indicates
00:07:18.220 that he should be in prison for the rest of his life but i can understand why that would be a big
00:07:22.460 story yeah yep this story we're talking about now even if you take at least what we know this
00:07:29.180 indictment and we don't have it yet we won't have it all till tuesday it looks like but what basically
00:07:34.040 is going on here is donald trump was president of the united states he could see any of these documents
00:07:40.980 he had all of this information already he left office you might remember pretty chaotic time when
00:07:48.560 he left office you know the tip the period between january 6th and january 20th was a little rocky
00:07:53.600 if you don't remember that he leaves office with a bunch of documents they say hey we'd like those
00:07:59.920 documents back he gives back a bunch of documents but not all the documents and no one is accusing them
00:08:07.580 of selling them to the saudis no one is accusing him of uh selling them to the russians no one is
00:08:13.900 accusing him of using these to launch a secret war in another country what they're accusing him of is
00:08:22.660 not giving them back in a timely fashion when they wanted them yeah and like look can they find a legal
00:08:29.500 loophole in this law to get him in trouble on that it's possible yeah but like step back from that
00:08:36.000 does this change the way you think of him does this change the way you think he would govern as
00:08:40.060 president of the united states do you actually care no i really don't i just don't care and i will be
00:08:46.880 honest with you i don't really care if joe biden did it either i don't however on that issue i will say
00:08:53.320 if it's this big a deal uh with trump you've got to reciprocate with right you have to and that's
00:09:01.040 kind of my point here is that both of these neither one of these stories should be the first time
00:09:06.340 a president is indicted on federal charges it's too stupid of a story like at least some of the
00:09:13.300 other accusations that have been thrown at donald trump again they most of them have had nothing
00:09:17.660 behind them but at least some of them were serious accusations this is record keeping he would
00:09:24.660 put it in the wrong filing cabinet this is what we're going to bring a president down on
00:09:28.280 it's stupid it's just right freaking stupid pat but i i love the fact that the narrative from the
00:09:36.060 left right now is that it is so important to mention that special counsel jack smith would never
00:09:44.460 have brought these charges if he didn't have mountains and mountains of evidence of wrongdoing
00:09:52.560 this one again uh-huh we're getting this one again pat yes we are yeah because that's the same
00:09:57.020 thing with uh with what's his face um with the russian hoax garbage right like if you could say
00:10:03.300 like if you were to plot all of these storylines on a chart and they all started at days day one
00:10:09.400 right and they all had this run of when you found out about them till their expiration date yeah
00:10:15.680 russia ukraine um i don't know think i can't even name all the freaking scandals that they've thrown at
00:10:23.400 this guy at this point on the chart they always say they have all the information yeah they always
00:10:30.640 leak to the press that they have impenetrable evidence that is going to bring this guy down
00:10:36.140 they always say the same thing it's wishful thinking they want it so bad that they just claim
00:10:42.960 they have it and they don't and they want you to believe it yeah they want you to believe it before
00:10:47.600 you see the evidence they're trying desperately to stop him from running for president i i think
00:10:52.720 they're at this point i think they're pretty afraid uh that he'll beat him yeah and i think that's
00:10:59.180 certainly possible i mean they certainly don't want him to be president oh well that's for yeah i think
00:11:05.180 you know i don't i i go back and forth on on what they're trying to do here a little bit i know i do too
00:11:10.460 but from the perspective of like i don't think they can be so naive that they would not understand
00:11:17.760 this would help him in the primary right they they have to understand doing this is going to help him
00:11:24.020 in the primary yeah for sure it's going to hurt ron desantis and tim scott and nicky haley and all of
00:11:28.880 his other opponents it's going to galvanize people in his support yeah and so it likely will help him get
00:11:36.200 through the primary it's not a guarantee he'll win the primary by any means but it's possible it will
00:11:40.320 help him i think it's likely that it will help him and if you consider that the option then i guess
00:11:46.320 you're saying either they believe they're going to beat him in the general this is going to hurt him
00:11:50.320 in the general which is i think a plausible argument i you know yes us on the right that
00:11:56.340 have followed every aspect of the russia investigation are going to say i can't believe
00:12:00.020 they're trying this again i can't believe there's another one of these some moderate who's
00:12:04.600 doesn't know anything about the russia investigation other than what they see
00:12:08.200 on their occasional twitter feed or facebook feed and have no information about this and just keep
00:12:13.240 seeing indictment indictment indictment indictment it could be another story in the general and that's
00:12:17.740 a real concern you have to think about when when you're looking at this stuff do you see what jamie
00:12:21.820 raskin who was a democrat from maryland had to say yesterday about this situation really hard for me
00:12:26.640 to just not turn him off i just but i applaud you pat for sticking with it and actually reading what he
00:12:32.720 said because i was not willing to go that far now i didn't listen to what he said but i did read it
00:12:37.740 okay because it was only one line okay um but he said that trump put u.s national security in
00:12:44.840 grave danger stop by pursuing quote yet another lawless personal agenda what's the agenda really
00:12:54.800 what did he do what did he do he had these in boxes and did he go down there and look at them from
00:13:00.160 time to time probably not he probably didn't even do that i doubt if he did so what he already knew
00:13:06.140 about it in the first place that's why he took them i i don't know if you're alleging if there's
00:13:11.680 evidence yeah that he sold them to russian spies if if the fsb or kjb or whoever uh is in power in
00:13:21.800 in the in russia now if he sold them to some russian spy okay and you've got evidence of that
00:13:28.640 maybe you got photographic evidence i want him thrown in prison i can go with you on the
00:13:32.760 grave danger thing i want to throw in prison if he did that absolutely as i think every member of
00:13:37.860 the audience would yes however that's not even being alleged no it's not they're not even accusing
00:13:43.160 him of that you know what which i guess pretty much means it's not even alleged that that's how
00:13:49.300 that works yeah my understanding i mean they are you could be mistaken uh forgiven for that for that
00:13:54.820 when you see the word espionage included as if this guy was hiding you know in a in a trench coat in
00:14:01.060 some you know parking garage somewhere leaking to chinese spies now look if if donald trump had a
00:14:07.840 threesome with eric swalwell and a chinese spy and gave them the documents i would be really worried
00:14:12.980 about that well did he wee wee on him i don't do we know let's ask christopher steel okay and then maybe
00:14:18.560 we could find that out but like pat what i don't know what happened here yet right and i it will be
00:14:23.860 months and months and months after uh you know today that we will probably find out probably after the
00:14:30.400 election probably after and they'll just continue this garbage they'll just continue to throw stuff
00:14:35.340 at the wall to see what sticks so they can hopefully derail him by november 2024 and at that
00:14:40.780 point when we do find out what went on after the election they will just bury it on page 18 right
00:14:46.060 like they'll say oh yeah he got off oops yeah i mean what have they said about russia nothing nothing
00:14:50.200 they just don't even bring it up there's no apology there's no nothing no so all this goes on but like
00:14:55.940 what's the most likely scenario here donald trump leaves office he's a guy who thinks he's been wronged
00:15:00.860 in the election he's angry he bull he pulls a bunch of uh boxes of documents that he believes are his
00:15:07.140 you know i was in the middle of this this is a letter from kim jong-un to me to me donald trump
00:15:11.920 that's me my name's at the top of it it says to me i bring it home to my house then these people
00:15:17.220 who just screwed me out of it again this is donald trump these these people that just screwed me out
00:15:22.160 of an election now want this stuff back screw them no oh absolutely highly plausible yeah it is now is
00:15:29.700 that consistent with the presidential records act probably not you know probably not if that's the
00:15:36.040 scenario that played out they may very well be able to come up with some legal justification
00:15:40.840 that if he you know they you know they if he did it and they knew his intent they have evidence of
00:15:47.520 his intent they may very well uh be able to get him on something but like but we're hearing that
00:15:54.020 every president since reagan has done this in some form in some form intent is the difference what
00:16:00.600 they're saying here is that he intended to do it now is it possible that he was so angry and just
00:16:05.300 would say screw it it's possible it is but so what but like is that a huge deal these documents
00:16:10.840 they weren't leaked to foreign entities anything in a mar-a-lago closet is certainly more secure than
00:16:16.500 something stored online right like it go if you live near mar-a-lago go in there today and try to
00:16:24.260 steal a diet coke and see how that goes for you go go try to just play golf on the course without
00:16:30.260 actually being a member let me no no i'm not okay i should probably clarify that before the doj shows
00:16:36.540 up i am not clarifying well i'm saying this as a hypothetical thought exercise it would be darn
00:16:41.880 difficult to play the eighth hole at mar-a-lago getting away with it you think stealing stuff out
00:16:47.020 of donald trump's closet is going to be easy probably not it's not it's ridiculous yeah the whole thing is
00:16:53.820 completely absurd and yes you might be able to go in there and find some legal thing you can catch him
00:16:59.400 on but fundamentally what are we asking as people who are in the united citizens of the united states
00:17:05.460 right now voters here in the united states is this a reason to vote for him or not vote for him and the
00:17:10.460 answer is of course it's not it's not neither it should make no impact whatsoever on his ability to
00:17:16.940 govern and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this 888-727-BECK patent stew for glenn more in one
00:17:22.840 minute so pain has gotten aggressive with you has it well if you get up in the morning it's already
00:17:28.020 kicking you around like a soccer ball it only gets worse as the day goes on and you know that is
00:17:34.040 something that a lot of people deal with millions of people deal with this every day and they don't
00:17:39.300 i have so many of them have given up something like 30 or 40 percent of people just give up they say
00:17:44.080 yeah this is just part of my life this is how it is now well it doesn't have to be that way
00:17:47.620 if you're living with pain that's aggressive and has gotten aggressive with you it's time to get
00:17:51.500 aggressive back may i recommend that you give relief factor a try you could get up getting uh
00:17:56.400 getting your life back and that's a really important thing the three-week quick start is
00:18:00.200 only 1995 it's a trial pack it's not a drug it was developed by doctors hundreds of thousands of
00:18:05.700 people have ordered relief factor and about 70 percent of them have gone on to order more go to
00:18:10.400 relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start again it's
00:18:16.520 relieffactor.com or call 800 the number four relief relief factor feel the difference 10 seconds station
00:18:23.840 id so somehow they made this into seven trumped up charges um and i guess each of the charges carries
00:18:42.420 a penalty up to 20 years in prison so conceivably donald trump could be in prison for 140 years
00:18:49.480 and that would make perfect sense in our justice system yeah when when when child molesters gosh i
00:18:54.740 wish i could remember the stat the stat is in if you happen to have a copy handy i think it's in an
00:18:59.260 inconvenient book glenn's uh bestseller from back in the day and the average prison sentence for a
00:19:08.400 convicted child molester is like 18 months my god it's like it's it's so absurdly low that i had to
00:19:17.340 check the stat myself 10 different times i don't remember if it's 18 months it might be two and a
00:19:21.900 half years it's very very low less than five years for sure and we're gonna send donald trump to
00:19:26.720 president for 140 uh years before his filing system it's crazy it really is incredible and you know
00:19:33.200 well most news uh articles point out that that's unlikely to happen that he would get that kind of
00:19:39.780 time obviously he wouldn't but but still i mean just that there's even a possibility is just asinine
00:19:46.180 like if you were to come to me and say look letter of the law he he violated this particular thing he
00:19:52.900 has to pay a fine of 1500 right like okay that's fine and we're gonna move on and stop talking about
00:19:59.140 this right that's the way it should be handled but it's not gonna be it's not gonna be and
00:20:03.860 at the same time as we're hearing and you know this is part of it this ties into it at the same time
00:20:11.260 we're hearing that joe biden maybe got a bribe for five million dollars five million dollars from a
00:20:20.680 foreign uh actor much closer to the thing a person would be concerned about right yes because that could
00:20:27.300 be a real espionage that's a real problem much more close to that especially if he's making policy
00:20:32.780 decisions based on that yeah especially if you know he's procuring uh promises and actions from
00:20:40.540 foreign governments in exchange for it i mean that is far more serious to about the thousandth power
00:20:48.140 more uh concerning than anything they're accusing donald trump of and he's got the document situation
00:20:55.780 himself to deal with between those two things i mean it's just and again it ties in because i i think
00:21:03.120 this is a distraction from all the biden stuff i mean we'll have to play some of what biden said
00:21:08.860 yesterday about this it's agonizing i mean for him to even one of the one of the uh sentences that
00:21:17.180 he uttered had two words in it and it there it's maybe the biggest lie i've ever heard
00:21:23.380 i'm honest yeah was this i'm honest yeah there you get there you're honest are you no are you no he
00:21:32.600 is not he is look he is he's the biggest liar i've i think he's a bigger liar than bill clinton
00:21:38.200 which is saying something yeah yeah i think so i mean you know i think that there's this there is
00:21:43.900 this perception of biden and i and this is a problem because the american people at least felt
00:21:48.600 this way in 2020 that you know he was a bit of a bumbling fool yeah but he was but he's a good guy
00:21:55.580 he's a good guy he's joe he's joe from the neighborhood what was it that lindsey graham said
00:21:59.840 about him which is now maybe the worst thing i've ever heard from lindsey graham and saying something
00:22:04.680 yeah and that's that he was this man of integrity and such a good good man like that's exactly the
00:22:10.340 opposite of what he is yeah that is that i don't think that's up for debate anymore nope uh but you
00:22:15.800 know look enough people apparently believe that and that's uh that's shocking to me if you're not
00:22:21.200 paying attention if you believe that well yeah but that's the thing these elections are won and lost
00:22:26.340 by by people's votes who don't pay attention that is something we all have to recognize and it's an

00:24:23.420 I'm 888-727-BECK.
00:24:25.640 So your thoughts on the Donald Trump at Dypen?
00:24:29.780 I keep thinking, like, you know, Glenn always goes away when there's this huge story.
00:24:33.380 I know.
00:24:34.040 That's amazing.
00:24:34.700 And then I step back and say, actually, just every day, there's something crazy.
00:24:37.920 So whenever he takes a vacation, there's a huge story.
00:24:39.860 Something's going to happen.
00:24:40.680 It really does feel like that is our world now.
00:24:42.560 Do you remember the days in talk radio where you would, I don't know, there's nothing really going on.
00:24:47.800 So let's just mess around today.
00:24:49.360 We'll do your favorite Disney characters.
00:24:52.100 We'll talk about that kind of stuff.
00:24:55.500 You just can't do that anymore.
00:24:57.220 There used to be times in this business where you would struggle for topics, you know, where you'd be like, well, I don't know.
00:25:02.520 This is kind of boring.
00:25:03.500 And the news today kind of sucks.
00:25:04.900 Like, that is gone.
00:25:06.160 Yeah.
00:25:06.420 Now it's just a matter of what you can fit in.
00:25:08.900 As Glenn often says, it's Sophie's choice.
00:25:11.080 You got to pick and choose because there's just not time enough for everything.
00:25:14.340 All right.
00:25:14.800 Let's get your thoughts.
00:25:16.480 Let's go to Matt in Massachusetts.
00:25:18.740 Hey, Matt, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
00:25:22.100 So let me get this straight.
00:25:23.020 You guys knew that the Trump story is a distraction story, distracting you from Joe Biden.
00:25:28.140 Yeah.
00:25:28.340 You choose to lead with the distracting story, distracting from Joe Biden.
00:25:33.000 Not only did you distract from Joe Biden, you spent 15 minutes on Trump and five on Joe Biden.
00:25:39.100 Well, we're not done.
00:25:40.120 So we have a three hour show here.
00:25:42.220 Yeah.
00:25:42.540 You know, we're pacing ourselves, Matt.
00:25:44.320 We should also note that the the the the Biden thing broke before before yesterday's show.
00:25:50.240 We've been talking about the Biden thing for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:25:53.840 The story just broke overnight.
00:25:55.320 So it is the I think the most relevant choice just to begin a show with.
00:25:58.680 But I do appreciate your program director capabilities here walking us through how to order our topics.
00:26:03.520 Thank you so much.
00:26:04.660 I do.
00:26:04.960 I do.
00:26:05.180 I still have to.
00:26:06.100 Despite the fact that it is a distraction, it's the biggest story there is right now.
00:26:12.680 And I will say, too, like, it's important for us to to to to be on this stuff to make sure that people understand the truth.
00:26:22.540 Like, you can't just blow these things off.
00:26:24.940 You can't just say, oh, well, an attack is coming.
00:26:27.440 We see it as an invalid attack.
00:26:29.080 Therefore, we shall we shan't defend it.
00:26:31.560 Right.
00:26:31.840 Right.
00:26:32.000 Like you start doing that and you start losing.
00:26:34.260 And that's what Republicans have done for a very long time.
00:26:36.540 So I'm not going to.
00:26:37.040 And that's why I entertain that.
00:26:38.700 They're losing.
00:26:39.900 They do tend to lose.
00:26:41.300 They do tend to lose.
00:26:42.380 My gosh.
00:26:43.700 Let's see.
00:26:44.280 Chris in Ohio.
00:26:45.500 You're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:26:46.780 Hi.
00:26:47.640 I do totally agree with him.
00:26:50.300 You know, if we look at this, OK, we got two guys that are very high profile.
00:26:54.800 OK, I mean, the highest profile right now and with the same charges.
00:27:02.060 And we realize that neither one could do anything with any information that they would have because there's going to be a paper trail.
00:27:10.500 I mean, you know what?
00:27:11.660 We know what's going to happen.
00:27:13.520 So if you take and distract one from the other, what are we missing on the other side?
00:27:21.140 I mean, it's a story.
00:27:24.740 It's certainly I mean, look, it's an understandable point.
00:27:28.420 I will say they don't have the same charges against them.
00:27:30.800 However, one of them has federal charges filed in the last 24 hours.
00:27:34.760 Right.
00:27:35.160 That is that is an important it's an important thing to cover.
00:27:39.060 We've we've done it's the first time in American history.
00:27:41.780 It's like we're not going to even mention it.
00:27:43.340 Right.
00:27:44.140 All right.
00:27:44.540 We've done endless coverage, endless on Joe Biden and the accusations against him.
00:27:48.720 We told you on the air years ago.
00:27:53.220 He was the most corrupt vice president in American history.
00:27:56.800 What was it?
00:27:57.340 We have done 13 or 14.
00:27:58.800 I would argue thousands of hours of on the story with Joe Biden.
00:28:03.580 The one the story that broke in the last 24 hours is the part about Trump, which we're
00:28:07.200 telling you, we we are comparing.
00:28:09.220 I mean, I think there is a legitimate comparison here.
00:28:11.060 However, those charges have not come against Joe Biden.
00:28:14.980 We want them to.
00:28:16.000 We talked about the Comer situation.
00:28:18.780 We've had Comer on the air.
00:28:20.460 We've had Jordan on the air.
00:28:22.220 We've had Chip Roy on the air.
00:28:23.940 We've talked about we've done all this stuff.
00:28:26.020 We've done all this stuff.
00:28:27.000 It's important.
00:28:27.740 It is a distraction, I think, though.
00:28:30.540 It's a distraction you're going to have to deal with, boys and girls.
00:28:34.720 We can all act as if this isn't something you're going to have to deal with.
00:28:38.600 But unfortunately, this audience by itself will not pick the next president of the United
00:28:45.580 States.
00:28:46.560 There's going to be a lot of people out there who don't necessarily know about this, people
00:28:50.120 who don't follow this on a day to day basis.
00:28:52.040 And if we're not if we're not locked and loaded with the information needed to push back
00:28:57.120 against their claims, we will lose.
00:28:59.160 So ignoring things that happen is not an option.
00:29:03.500 We have to deal with it.
00:29:04.520 We are we are forced to.
00:29:06.760 And it's important to note that these particular charges come solely after Donald Trump was
00:29:14.460 no longer president.
00:29:15.960 This these are charges that are coming, starting and and being finalized by his political opponent.
00:29:23.280 And this is a massive line that has been crossed in American history today.
00:29:29.840 We're talking about one of the precedent that will echo for generations has happened in the
00:29:36.440 last 24 hours.
00:29:37.300 So, no, we're not going to ignore it.
00:29:39.100 And I'm sorry.
00:29:40.240 Donald Trump himself.
00:29:41.780 Yeah.
00:29:42.140 Has been discussing the case and the fact that it's a distraction.
00:29:46.440 And he's talking about it anyway.
00:29:49.340 In fact, he's not only talking about it, Pat.
00:29:52.180 He is fundraising off of it.
00:29:53.920 Yeah, right.
00:29:54.420 He is focusing.
00:29:55.340 I would argue it's his central, his central argument for being president again, is that
00:30:02.940 he was victimized by a corrupt system and he can fix it.
00:30:07.420 I would say that's a central argument right now because we already know about the other
00:30:11.120 stuff.
00:30:11.420 There's a lot of candidates in there that will pick, you know, good Supreme Court justices
00:30:14.520 or lower taxes or whatever.
00:30:16.300 His his point of differentiation here is that is to say, hey, I was in the middle of this
00:30:21.360 crap.
00:30:21.740 I saw how it worked and I need to be I'm a victim of it and I need to be able to step
00:30:26.360 in there and stop it.
00:30:27.440 But you know what?
00:30:28.440 It's been a while since I've had snotty phone calls.
00:30:30.360 So thank you for them.
00:30:31.220 It's been fun.
00:30:32.060 Yeah, I enjoy it.
00:30:34.100 Let's go to Paul in Connecticut.
00:30:36.240 Hey, Paul, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:38.340 Good morning.
00:30:39.620 Morning.
00:30:39.920 Listen, real quick.
00:30:41.460 Do we honestly think that President Trump packed up his own office and his own documents,
00:30:48.220 threw him in the back of the limo and took off?
00:30:51.360 No, I mean, I want to know who's liable for that.
00:30:55.580 And was it a setup?
00:30:56.740 Like they said, oh, these are going to get him in trouble.
00:30:59.600 Throw those documents in there.
00:31:00.580 No problem.
00:31:00.960 Hide them in the trunk when he gets down to Florida.
00:31:04.120 He could take them out and we'll catch him on that.
00:31:08.420 It's speculation, but it's I wouldn't rule it out.
00:31:11.280 Certainly not at all with this group of people.
00:31:14.000 And look, their argument, what they would say in defense of this is that it's not necessarily
00:31:19.380 that he took the documents.
00:31:20.420 It's that he knew he had them.
00:31:22.780 He knew he was supposed to give them back to us.
00:31:24.380 And he didn't anyway.
00:31:25.620 Yeah.
00:31:25.820 Now, I'm not all that concerned about that, honestly.
00:31:29.440 Like, you know, OK, I mean, I don't know.
00:31:32.000 You know, I just I don't think that's that big of a deal.
00:31:34.220 If your allegation and you have evidence that he then turned around and sold it to China,
00:31:38.560 that's a big deal.
00:31:39.120 That's a big deal.
00:31:40.240 They're not alleging that they're not even saying that.
00:31:42.940 I mean, there have been some liberal bloggers who have made reference to things like that,
00:31:46.700 but that's all just nonsense.
00:31:48.680 You know, they don't even they're not even alleging that like this is just one of those
00:31:52.480 things where it's possible he didn't know.
00:31:55.140 I mean, he did give and this is the thing.
00:31:56.740 He gave them 15 boxes of documents.
00:32:00.080 It's not like he tried to hide all of it.
00:32:02.300 He gave them 15 boxes of documents.
00:32:04.500 And he may have held on to this because he thought he wanted the memorabilia.
00:32:09.760 He wanted it for his museum.
00:32:12.140 He didn't know about them.
00:32:14.080 He thought that they proved something that he was going to be accused of later, like
00:32:18.340 he thought it proved his innocence.
00:32:19.740 I mean, that's been a theory that people have thrown out there.
00:32:21.520 Some of these documents might have been, you know, situations that he was worried he
00:32:24.980 was going to be attacked with later on and he wanted to have the documents so he could
00:32:28.880 show that he was right.
00:32:30.400 Right.
00:32:30.540 Who knows what the reason was?
00:32:31.820 This is what we're going to find out over the next, I suppose, months.
00:32:35.900 But like the the the fact that this entire investigation has come against Joe Biden's
00:32:43.340 leading political opponent, you know, they again said publicly in the paper yesterday that
00:32:49.280 they found out about this in the news.
00:32:52.220 They're still saying that they're acting as if they didn't know any of this was going
00:32:57.520 on and they said they heard about it in the news just like everyone else.
00:33:01.100 How could anyone believe a word they say when they say something like that?
00:33:05.280 Obviously, that's not true.
00:33:06.700 Obviously, it's not true.
00:33:07.660 Nor should it be true, frankly.
00:33:10.200 See, where's that?
00:33:11.620 I we've got so much from Biden yesterday.
00:33:15.120 He was really struggling with whether to call it really good or really bad.
00:33:23.040 He was really good in a bad way yesterday.
00:33:25.580 He proved our point that, you know, there's some decline there and there's dementia there.
00:33:31.620 And the guy is just not fit to be the president of the United States and the most powerful man
00:33:38.640 on this planet.
00:33:39.720 He's just not.
00:33:40.760 And yesterday was a really good example of how his mind just doesn't work like you would
00:33:48.560 want a president and his mind to work.
00:33:51.740 Right.
00:33:51.860 He's just not capable of doing things.
00:33:54.580 If you ask him to do something later in the afternoon like they did yesterday, you've got
00:33:59.980 a really good chance he's not going to be there.
00:34:02.540 He's not going to be all there.
00:34:03.680 He can't read.
00:34:04.500 He can't speak.
00:34:05.560 He's I don't know if that's when the medication wears off.
00:34:08.280 I don't know.
00:34:09.300 But he was awful yesterday.
00:34:11.180 OK, and I'm just I'm scanning for.
00:34:15.100 OK, is this the biggest lie Joe Biden has ever told?
00:34:19.340 I believe this is cut 11.
00:34:22.340 You'd you be the judge.
00:34:24.780 You notice I have never once, not one single time suggested the Justice Department what they
00:34:31.720 should do or not do.
00:34:33.140 Well, to bring in charge and not bring in charge.
00:34:35.240 OK, I'm honest.
00:34:36.380 Just those two words at the end.
00:34:39.640 Biggest lie he's ever told.
00:34:40.800 I'm honest.
00:34:41.680 Right.
00:34:42.480 So his allegation is I'm not using the Justice Department in a political manner like Donald
00:34:49.160 Trump did, which is so come on.
00:34:51.680 Ridiculous.
00:34:52.200 And we know that Merrick Garland knew about this stuff, even though he denied he knew about
00:34:56.240 it.
00:34:56.560 He did know about it.
00:34:57.880 And like, I'm sorry, how dumb are we supposed to be here?
00:35:03.640 I lose my I thought we were supposed to be a country that that followed this, you know,
00:35:08.560 that would follow the news, that cared, that participated in our republic.
00:35:14.280 Mm hmm.
00:35:15.300 Do they really think we're this stupid?
00:35:17.200 Like, think of any organization you work in.
00:35:20.720 Would this ever be the case?
00:35:22.600 The biggest thing you'll ever do.
00:35:24.400 You're charging your political opponent, who's the leading candidate in the opposing
00:35:30.580 party, your leading opponent.
00:35:33.960 And Merrick Garland, the person you appointed to a high level position, knows about it, but
00:35:39.800 he doesn't pass that on to you in some way behind the scenes.
00:35:42.420 Now, I would argue he probably didn't walk in there and say, hey, Joe, by the way, today's
00:35:46.400 the day.
00:35:47.280 That's probably not how they did it, because that would be too traceable.
00:35:50.020 But you're telling me you don't think that a text was a text, a message, a person walks
00:35:57.940 down the hall, passes a little note to somebody else.
00:36:00.560 You're telling me Joe Biden walked into that day not knowing this was going to happen.
00:36:06.260 That's insane.
00:36:07.540 I'm honest.
00:36:08.520 And it's a clear lie.
00:36:10.480 It's an absolute bald-faced lie.
00:36:13.040 All right.
00:36:13.240 888-727-BECK.
00:36:15.220 More coming up.
00:36:16.180 So ridiculous.
00:36:17.080 All right, if you needed a good real estate agent, because, I don't know, you're moving
00:36:20.780 from a blue state to a red state, and you are trying to get out from underneath the
00:36:26.640 terrible government you're living under, you need to find a good real estate agent in this
00:36:31.700 new area you're going to.
00:36:32.860 Also, if you're selling a house, a lot of people just go with someone they know.
00:36:36.140 They go with somebody who, I don't know, they saw in an ad.
00:36:40.040 That's not the way to pick a real estate agent.
00:36:42.100 A real estate agent, it needs to be screened for the best performance possible.
00:36:45.480 And the way to find that person is realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:37:01.620 they can find in their area.

00:37:20.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:37:29.140 When I heard Glenn start talking about American Giant, I had never heard of it, honestly.
00:37:33.000 I wanted to see for myself if the clothing was really as good as he was saying it was.
00:37:37.100 And it is.
00:37:38.120 It really is.
00:37:38.640 Everything I've worn is so well-made.
00:37:39.960 In fact, I'm wearing an American Giant sweatshirt right at this moment.
00:37:43.540 It's an awesome sweatshirt.
00:37:44.740 I love it.
00:37:45.140 It's super comfortable.
00:37:46.240 So well-made.
00:37:47.080 You can tell the difference in the fabric.
00:37:49.020 My wife, who buys more expensive clothing than I do, she's used to really high-quality
00:37:55.780 material.
00:37:56.760 And she bought a pair of leggings from American Giant and just absolutely loves them.
00:38:01.580 I've never seen material like this before.
00:38:04.420 It was like 13 years ago American Giant started.
00:38:06.320 They rescued a clothing factory in North Carolina that was going to shut down.
00:38:10.180 They wanted to show Americans that we could still manufacture clothing.
00:38:13.800 We could still do it here.
00:38:14.820 We can do much better than the cheap stuff that comes from overseas.
00:38:17.920 Back in the 1960s, 95% of clothing Americans bought was made in America.
00:38:22.740 Now, almost the exact opposite.
00:38:24.260 97% is made overseas.
00:38:26.940 American Giant is changing that one piece of clothing at a time, and you're going to
00:38:30.300 love this stuff.
00:38:31.360 They make the best hoodie you're ever going to wear and high-quality clothing for both
00:38:34.920 men and women.
00:38:36.000 It's a perfect Father's Day gift made with American cotton, American workers, and American
00:38:40.260 quality.
00:38:41.280 For Father's Day, let your dad know that he's an American Giant.
00:38:44.280 It's clothing that will last so long it gets passed on from one generation to the next.

00:39:07.780 It is Pat and Stu for Glenn.
00:39:09.060 Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:09.820 You can check out both of our shows.
00:39:11.640 Mine is Pac-Ray Unleashed.
00:39:13.000 It's immediately preceding this show live each and every weekday.
00:39:16.960 And then anytime you want, you know, you can listen to it leisurely at midnight or 3 in
00:39:24.000 the morning.
00:39:24.380 A lot of people do.
00:39:25.080 They just wake up and have to have that Pac-Ray Unleashed fix.
00:39:28.000 Yeah.
00:39:28.260 At 3 a.m.?
00:39:28.820 At 3 a.m.
00:39:29.740 Yeah.
00:39:31.140 And so you can check out whatever website you get your podcast on and get it there.
00:39:36.020 And Stu's show is likewise available.
00:39:38.960 Yeah.
00:39:39.240 Stu Does America.
00:39:40.000 Available.
00:39:40.640 It airs at 8 p.m. on Blaze TV, but you can get it on podcast whenever you want.
00:39:43.980 And YouTube.com slash Stu Does America.
00:39:45.680 Also, we'll point out, Pat, we have our new campaign shirt out.
00:39:48.920 It looks like a Biden 24 shirt.
00:39:51.460 And a lot of people would say, well, I don't want a Biden 24 shirt, right?
00:39:55.400 But when you get close, you notice that it says anyone but Biden 24.
00:40:00.040 Okay.
00:40:00.320 And I think people will like it because it will fool people into thinking they're on
00:40:04.400 your side and they'll walk up and they'll get all excited and then they'll see it and
00:40:07.140 get very disappointed.
00:40:07.680 Would that include Marianne Williamson?
00:40:10.280 No.
00:40:10.940 No.
00:40:11.460 No?
00:40:11.840 No.
00:40:12.300 Okay.
00:40:12.620 Well, I don't know.
00:40:13.180 I mean, if those are the only two choices, maybe I would go, Marianne.
00:40:15.980 At least she'd be entertaining.
00:40:17.320 And she's coherent, kind of.
00:40:19.520 Anyway, it's StuDoesMerch.com to get it.
00:40:22.060 StuDoesMerch.com.
00:40:22.960 The code is Stu10 if you want to save 10%.
00:40:24.600 But StuDoesMerch.com.
00:40:26.740 You know, one of the alternatives to him in the Democrat Party, and I just would love to
00:40:32.920 see a sitting president defeated in a Democrat primary.
00:40:36.080 Would that be awesome?
00:40:37.020 It's not going to happen, but it'd be great.
00:40:38.780 But RFK Jr. is a guy who has gotten some notice and a lot of credit from people on the right.
00:40:46.260 Yeah.
00:40:46.760 And so it might do us some good to go over some of his actual policy positions that you
00:40:53.660 may not quite agree with.
00:40:55.800 Yeah.
00:40:56.080 Maybe we'll do that a little bit later on.
00:40:57.700 Because I will say, like, I think the right is different than the left in this way, that
00:41:00.860 we are much more willing to talk to and embrace.
00:41:05.300 Yep.
00:41:06.460 Embrace is not exactly the right word.
00:41:08.140 But if we can find something we agree with you on, we're happy to talk to you about that
00:41:12.340 thing.
00:41:12.940 And that's great.
00:41:13.940 We'll have a conversation about it.
00:41:15.600 We might disagree with you on a bunch of other things, but we're open-minded to talk
00:41:18.500 to you.
00:41:19.340 Where the left, if you talk about Rough Greens, how about that?
00:41:21.620 Rough Greens, Pat, you know, we were talking about this a little bit earlier.
00:41:25.200 You get a dog.
00:41:25.660 You have, I have two dogs now.
00:41:27.500 Unfortunately, we lost President Miles.
00:41:28.840 I know that's sad.
00:41:30.940 After 18 years.
00:41:31.820 You were, you were probably devastated, right?
00:41:35.020 Oh my gosh, of course.
00:41:36.140 Even though you know it's coming, you know, it's 18 years is a really long time.
00:41:39.920 It's a long time for a dog.
00:41:40.480 But his last years were a lot of enjoyment of Rough Greens, you know, and like, you see
00:41:46.200 this sort of thing with our younger dogs.
00:41:48.760 They love it, of course.
00:41:50.040 They dive into the Rough Greens.
00:41:51.860 But also, it's one of those things where you see their energy improves and they seem to
00:41:55.700 be healthier.
00:41:56.420 And like, and that's the type of thing that you can't, you can't put a price on, honestly,
00:42:00.000 when it comes to your dogs.
00:42:00.800 You want to do the best thing for them.
00:42:01.940 Yep.
00:42:02.820 You know, dog food is dead food, plain and simple.
00:42:05.600 We've all heard how Rough Greens can brought, brought, you know, Uno back from, from the
00:42:10.780 abyss, it seemed like.
00:42:12.560 And Glenn's talked about that many times.
00:42:14.660 Check it out.
00:42:15.320 RoughGreens.com slash Beck.

00:42:20.020 833-GLEN33.
00:42:22.620 Or RoughGreens.com slash Beck.
00:42:24.600 We've got no room to compromise.
00:42:42.260 We've got to stand together, it's the course of life.
00:42:48.280 Stand up, stand, and hold the line.
00:42:51.080 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:07.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:09.480 With Pat and Stu, poor Glenn, who's on vacation this week.
00:43:16.200 More on the Donald Trump situation.
00:43:18.120 It's just, this is just flat out astounding.
00:43:22.600 And, and Biden's response to it.
00:43:25.820 And also just his general demeanor yesterday was just amazing.
00:43:31.900 And it, if this were Donald Trump, who couldn't read, couldn't speak, stumbling over everything,
00:43:40.060 making stuff up out of, out of hand, it would be all CNN talked about for the next month.
00:43:49.160 Uh, but it's completely ignored with Biden.
00:43:51.900 Anyway, we'll get to that and much more in about one minute.
00:43:54.800 Donna wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:43:58.840 She said,
00:43:59.220 I couldn't use my right hand because it was so swollen with arthritis.
00:44:02.240 I used to wake up screaming in pain even.
00:44:04.460 But I woke up this morning and my right hand isn't even swollen, let alone painful.
00:44:08.160 I think I'll be able to start sewing again.
00:44:09.660 I'm amazed at this wonderful product, Rough Greens.
00:44:12.480 Oh no, sorry.
00:44:13.140 Relief Factor.
00:44:14.000 We just did Rough Greens.
00:44:14.740 We were just talking about Rough Greens.
00:44:15.720 It'd be weird if she put Rough Greens on.
00:44:17.580 That would.
00:44:17.980 That would be really weird.
00:44:18.420 Yeah, that'd be like that horse paste thing that people were using.
00:44:21.160 Yeah, that's, that's for your dogs.
00:44:22.440 The Rough Greens is for your dogs.
00:44:23.340 Relief Factor is for you.
00:44:25.040 Uh, and thank God Donna had it because it's changed her life.
00:44:28.140 Maybe you've tried a lot of different things to combat your pain and nothing's worked.
00:44:31.220 But why not try Relief Factor?
00:44:33.120 The three-week quick start is only $19.95.
00:44:35.200 It's a trial pack.
00:44:36.300 It's not a drug.
00:44:37.060 It was developed by doctors.
00:44:38.580 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
00:44:40.760 About 70% of them go on to order more.
00:44:43.220 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:44:46.260 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.
00:44:48.300 Again, relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:44:52.860 Relief Factor.
00:44:53.700 Feel the difference.
00:44:56.700 Here's some of what Donald Trump truthed yesterday on Truth Social.
00:45:01.260 The corrupt Biden administration has informed my attorneys that I have been indicted.
00:45:06.400 Seemingly over the boxes hoax.
00:45:08.860 I didn't know he was calling it that.
00:45:10.140 The boxes hoax.
00:45:11.120 I like that.
00:45:11.500 Even though Joe Biden has 1,850 boxes at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, D.C.
00:45:20.980 He's renamed D.C. Chinatown because of Biden's involvement with the Chinese.
00:45:26.700 With even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette.
00:45:35.540 And which is secured by only a garage door that's paper thin and open much of the time.
00:45:43.340 I've been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
00:45:48.320 I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former president of the United States who received far more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country and is currently leading by far all candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in polls of the 2024 presidential election.
00:46:08.160 And then he finishes off with, I am an innocent man.
00:46:12.100 So, interesting take from Donald Trump yesterday on what's going on.
00:46:17.780 Trump is obviously very focused on his defense here.
00:46:20.260 We've been talking about the case against him and whether it's something we should really be worried about as a country.
00:46:26.220 You know, one of the things we should probably, though, think about is we've talked about how the government has been unfair to Donald Trump many, many times.
00:46:35.260 We've covered all the accusations against him over the years, most of which turned out to be kind of nothing, right?
00:46:40.740 A lot of times early on they would say they had all this evidence and then it would kind of fall apart under the microscope.
00:46:46.340 And we all kind of have this sense.
00:46:49.660 I think most people on the right have this sense of, look, the Biden administration will do whatever they can to destroy Donald Trump.
00:46:56.240 They'll come after him.
00:46:57.000 They'll, you know, the media is doing the same thing.
00:47:00.760 And they are using the apparatus of the government to target Donald Trump and hurt him and punish him.
00:47:07.180 So, I think we all believe that's true, right?
00:47:09.740 And that's not overstating.
00:47:11.580 No, I don't think it is.
00:47:12.620 The case, is it?
00:47:13.900 So, if we believe that, what do we think happens here?
00:47:17.880 I think a lot of people have not come to this realization that if you combine what you believe about what the government's trying to do with the fact that they have the power and the fact that they've indicted him multiple times, what makes you believe this doesn't end with him in prison?
00:47:35.380 That's a good question.
00:47:37.180 I'm not saying it would be right.
00:47:38.280 Whether it's a distraction or not, that could be the result.
00:47:41.780 Yeah, because if you believe that the, if you believe he's really being targeted and they have this power, that's where you'd think this would end up.
00:47:49.860 Now, of course, there's one probable way he can avoid it, which is winning the election, right?
00:47:54.680 Or someone on the Republican side who's friendly to him winning the election.
00:47:58.700 Many of these candidates have already kind of come out and said, like, look, if I win, I'm going to pardon Donald Trump because this is crazy.
00:48:04.340 But you have to believe that if Joe Biden has the power, they're going to do everything they can to use it to put Donald Trump behind bars.
00:48:12.600 I mean, they may very well do this here.
00:48:15.040 It's a real thing that could happen.
00:48:16.800 A lot of this stuff feels fake and silly.
00:48:18.880 Like, you know, the the author that was suing him for sexual assault and, like, couldn't remember what year it was.
00:48:27.420 And, you know, like some of this stuff seems so silly.
00:48:30.040 It was a civil case.
00:48:31.180 It didn't seem to have any credibility whatsoever.
00:48:33.940 So it's kind of easy to push to the side.
00:48:36.460 And I think that's that's how I feel with with this case in a lot of ways and that it doesn't seem to be to be at all a serious case.
00:48:45.080 But we don't make these decisions.
00:48:47.920 The the Biden DOJ is making them currently.
00:48:51.580 It reminds me of people who say, well, I don't care if they're watching everything I do.
00:48:57.040 I'm not doing anything wrong.
00:48:58.440 Yeah, you're not the one who decides what you're doing is wrong or right.
00:49:03.220 You're not the one who gets to choose that.
00:49:05.120 And just like we're not the ones who decide whether or not Donald Trump goes to jail.
00:49:09.680 So it is a possibility.
00:49:11.920 You know, they want to keep him out of office so badly.
00:49:15.040 Yeah.
00:49:15.520 That I think they'll do.
00:49:16.480 You think they'd stop at that?
00:49:17.840 You think they'd stop at some some some precedent setting, you know, jail time?
00:49:23.480 I don't think so.
00:49:24.180 No.
00:49:24.340 They'll do whatever they can to destroy this guy.
00:49:26.180 I think we all know that inherently.
00:49:28.300 And yet I think when it comes down to what this could look like at the end, we kind of
00:49:31.520 think, oh, well, it's just an election tactic or they won't really go through with it.
00:49:35.500 They may very well go through with it.
00:49:37.200 They're in the middle of going through with it right now.
00:49:40.200 They're trying to go through with it.
00:49:42.180 So one of the big charges against Donald Trump and one of the things you're going to hear
00:49:46.480 a lot about in the coming days is this audio tape they have.
00:49:50.300 And this is, I would say, central to the case against Trump.
00:49:55.240 An audio tape where they say a central point of Donald Trump's defense is dismantled.
00:50:01.320 OK.
00:50:01.720 One of the things Trump has said over and over again is I can I'm the president of the United
00:50:05.540 States.
00:50:05.820 I can declassify these things.
00:50:07.580 I can declassify them even by thinking about them.
00:50:10.380 This was the way he talked about it.
00:50:11.920 Now, there's legal questions around that, I would say, but like he does have pretty
00:50:17.420 much unlimited power to declassify things as president of the United States.
00:50:22.180 He does not have that power once he leaves office.
00:50:24.320 Of course, he can just declassify them when he's in office.
00:50:28.560 Now, he does not.
00:50:29.700 There's a lot of questions about whether what process you have to go through.
00:50:32.800 Some courts have said you got to go through some some established process.
00:50:37.200 Some have indicated basically you don't have to do much of anything to declassify documents.
00:50:41.200 That'll be fought out in the courts.
00:50:42.580 But like there's a serious legal argument on Donald Trump's side to say that basically
00:50:47.900 if he says they're declassified while he's president, they are declassified.
00:50:52.000 And that would clear him from some of the issues that he's dealing with here.
00:50:56.440 They would not be classified documents anymore.
00:50:58.820 Therefore, a lot of this could theoretically go away.
00:51:02.340 One of the things that the the prosecution has here, if you will, is an audio tape of Donald
00:51:09.620 Trump talking to his autobiographer.
00:51:12.520 This is been talked about and rumored for a while.
00:51:16.960 Now, multiple news organizations are reporting that they have heard it or can they're saying
00:51:23.560 they can confirm the details.
00:51:25.120 It's a little weird the way they're wording it.
00:51:26.640 They're not necessarily saying, hey, I just listened to this tape and here's what it says.
00:51:29.440 They're saying, like, here's the tape.
00:51:31.580 Here's what the tape says, according to sources.
00:51:33.780 So it's really important to understand the tape might not even exist.
00:51:38.220 Honestly, the media has been so bad with this stuff at this point.
00:51:41.220 I don't even know if the tape exists, let alone says what they say it says.
00:51:43.900 But it's important for you to know what they are, what their attacks are so you can know
00:51:50.620 if they should be fought back against and how to fight back against them.
00:51:53.940 So the tape basically is a tape between Donald Trump talking to his autobiographers there.
00:52:00.600 And this totally supports the idea that he held onto these documents because he believed
00:52:05.900 it would exonerate him against people accusing him of things.
00:52:09.080 Mark Milley is a guy we all know, the general that has now become a Trump opponent, has criticized
00:52:17.620 him publicly, but was working with Trump at the time.
00:52:20.740 And he apparently is talking about Milley.
00:52:23.720 He's complaining about a meeting with Milley.
00:52:26.760 And he says this, Milley said that I wanted to attack Iran.
00:52:31.860 Isn't that amazing?
00:52:32.920 I have a big pile of papers.
00:52:34.940 This thing just came up.
00:52:36.180 Look, this was him.
00:52:37.380 So he apparently at this point is showing to his biographers, not autobiographers, biographers,
00:52:42.940 that he has the paper.
00:52:44.880 He has it in his hand.
00:52:45.700 You can hear papers rustling around.
00:52:48.080 They presented me with this, Trump says.
00:52:50.240 This is off the record, but they presented me with this.
00:52:53.920 This was him.
00:52:55.120 He's talking about Milley.
00:52:56.360 This was the Defense Department and him.
00:52:58.560 We looked at some.
00:52:59.680 This was him.
00:53:00.540 This wasn't done by me.
00:53:01.840 This was him.
00:53:02.940 All sorts of stuff.
00:53:04.360 Who is he saying it is then?
00:53:05.680 Milley.
00:53:06.320 Okay.
00:53:06.720 He's saying it's Milley.
00:53:07.580 He's saying it's him.
00:53:08.180 Trump is saying it's him.
00:53:09.160 It's Milley.
00:53:09.640 So Milley had the idea.
00:53:10.560 But he's only said it like 30 times in one paragraph.
00:53:13.280 So I was confused.
00:53:14.780 Sorry.
00:53:16.120 I want to make sure I'm directly quoting.
00:53:18.460 And this is, you know, you know how Trump speaks.
00:53:19.700 I know.
00:53:19.760 I love it.
00:53:20.360 I love it.
00:53:21.100 So he's basically saying Milley's the guy who wanted to invade Iran, not me.
00:53:26.320 Okay.
00:53:26.560 That's basically what he's saying here to his biographers.
00:53:28.740 He says, all sorts of stuff, pages long, look.
00:53:32.580 Wait a minute.
00:53:33.180 Let's see here.
00:53:34.000 I just found, isn't that amazing?
00:53:36.300 This totally wins my case, you know, except it's like highly confidential, secret.
00:53:42.460 This is secret information.
00:53:44.320 Look.
00:53:45.000 Look at this.
00:53:45.720 So he is saying he knows it's confidential.
00:53:48.920 He knows it's secret.
00:53:50.560 And he's showing it to his biographers to essentially provide a defense for himself against these accusations that he was the guy that wanted to invade Iran.
00:53:59.780 Now, he says this was done by the military and given to me.
00:54:04.760 And he says in this audio tape, reportedly, again, I'm heavily hanging on that.
00:54:11.520 You might think that's paranoid.
00:54:12.740 But at this point, we cannot be too sure.
00:54:15.220 This is what CNN and The New York Times and others are reporting.
00:54:19.400 But he says also, as president, I could have declassified, but now I can't.
00:54:25.260 So he's acknowledging that it's confidential.
00:54:27.160 He's acknowledging that it's secret.
00:54:28.280 And he's acknowledging that he did not declassify it while president.
00:54:32.180 At least that's according to what the media is saying.
00:54:35.520 This is the central piece of the case against Trump here.
00:54:38.320 They're trying to say, okay, he knew this stuff was secret.
00:54:41.620 He knew that he was doing the wrong thing.
00:54:44.400 He knew he hadn't declassified them.
00:54:47.280 And yet he was going this way anyway.
00:54:50.080 Now, I think it's important to note that Donald Trump says a lot of things that are not legalistic.
00:54:55.220 I don't know if anyone's noticed this about him.
00:54:57.580 You know, if he were to say, this is sort of like saying, okay, well, Donald Trump,
00:55:00.980 he said in a tax filing that his property had depreciated and it was not in great shape.
00:55:10.960 And then he went on TV and said it was the best building ever.
00:55:15.080 We've caught him.
00:55:17.360 Donald Trump brags about stuff.
00:55:19.460 This is not new information.
00:55:21.240 We all kind of know he does this.
00:55:22.680 And the fact that he was trying to make this document look more important to his biographer
00:55:26.580 is not at all surprising, right?
00:55:29.620 This is how he talks.
00:55:30.720 Now, that's not going to help him in a courtroom.
00:55:33.220 The fact that we all know that he kind of says stuff is not going to help him in a courtroom.
00:55:37.820 But in reality, we all know that he does say stuff like this.
00:55:43.080 He makes definitive statements that make things look larger than they are.
00:55:47.280 Now, this may have been a top secret document.
00:55:49.020 Maybe it was.
00:55:49.640 I don't know.
00:55:50.600 But the fact that he says it was a top secret document does not mean much, honestly.
00:55:55.740 That's just the sort of stuff that he does.
00:55:58.160 In addition to that, it's not surprising necessarily that he would be saying that he had not declassified it.
00:56:06.520 I don't think that was ever a real legal defense.
00:56:09.240 It was more of a public defense, right?
00:56:11.040 Like the fact that his defense is, I thought about it when I was president and that meant they're declassified.
00:56:17.200 It's not really a legal defense.
00:56:19.020 It's just showing how much power he has as president, which is true.
00:56:21.440 He does have a ton of power as president.
00:56:24.080 But like stepping back from the, again, legalistic part of this, the fact that he had a document in his possession about an invasion of Iran that exonerated him from a claim being made by others,
00:56:37.880 that he was the one that wanted to go to war, is something that you can totally understand he would want, right or wrong.
00:56:45.920 And you can totally see how this would not be a central case against his governing style, right?
00:56:54.440 The fact that he keeps a document saying that he does not want to invade Iran because people are saying he did is very central to what Donald Trump would do.
00:57:04.800 He would want to prove he was right.
00:57:06.820 He would want to prove his defense.
00:57:09.200 He's been accused of a million things and he wants to be able to show that he was innocent of these things, right?
00:57:16.260 So like you can understand why he'd want to keep a document like that.
00:57:19.260 And you can understand why if he gave that back to the government as they requested, he would no longer have the evidence needed to provide his defense.
00:57:28.280 You can understand all of this.
00:57:31.220 Yeah.
00:57:31.600 And you can understand this is not him selling it to Iran.
00:57:34.300 It's not him selling it to Russia.
00:57:35.800 It's not him trying to win some contract with somebody and giving this to them as a bribe.
00:57:42.420 Right.
00:57:42.600 He's not betraying the country.
00:57:44.200 Right.
00:57:44.460 He's not committing treason.
00:57:45.780 He's trying to defend himself against people who are falsely accusing him of things.
00:57:51.220 That might not be something that gets him out of trouble legally.
00:57:55.500 But I doubt the American people would really see that as a massive scandal.
00:58:00.740 The fact that he's holding on to a document he's already seen so that he can show that other people aren't lying about him is not the type of thing you indict of sitting president over federally.
00:58:13.080 I mean, it's just yet.
00:58:14.800 And yet here we are.
00:58:15.880 Here we are.
00:58:16.660 More coming up in one minute.
00:58:17.780 To celebrate the launch of the new American history books for kids from the Tuttle Twins, they want to send your family to Boston for historical vacation.
00:58:28.660 You'll never forget.
00:58:29.440 We were just talking how important historical documents are.
00:58:32.260 And I'll tell you this, how many times has Glenn been able to shut a reporter up when he pulls out a document and it just shows from 1785 that says the opposite of what the reporter is saying?
00:58:46.900 It's an incredibly powerful tool.
00:58:48.860 Knowing history is so important.
00:58:51.020 And it'll make your kids different than other kids.
00:58:54.040 It'll make your kids have a real foundation.
00:58:56.020 When others come to them and they say, hey, you know, actually, let me tell you about critical race theory.
00:59:03.060 When they know the actual facts about this, they're going to be much more equipped, but much better equipped to actually push back against this and carry on your values into the future.
00:59:14.520 Not just, you know, you worry about kids going off to college and falling away.
00:59:19.220 Well, some kids don't.
00:59:20.120 And the kids that don't have real foundations.
00:59:21.900 The Tuttle Twins, the whole experience exists to provide your kid that foundation.
00:59:27.700 And now they can even send you to Boston to check out the real historical sites themselves.

00:59:54.500 10 seconds.
00:59:55.040 Station ID.
01:00:05.900 So yesterday was a really fun day for America, of course.
01:00:09.400 All the things with Donald Trump being indicted.
01:00:11.780 We also had Joe Biden hosting British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House.
01:00:17.940 But before we show you what transpired yesterday, let me go back to last year, maybe like a year ago, when Biden told us what Rishi Sunak's name was and that he'd been named Prime Minister.
01:00:33.760 And whether it's the United Kingdom or just today, we've got news that Rishi Sunak is now the Prime Minister.
01:00:46.200 As my brother would say, go figure.
01:00:51.080 Interesting, isn't it?
01:00:52.020 And the Conservative Party.
01:00:53.340 That's interesting.
01:00:56.300 Huh?
01:00:56.800 Yeah.
01:00:57.680 Well, he seems to be saying, go figure.
01:01:00.940 They elected a guy who's of Indian descent?
01:01:05.740 Prime Minister?
01:01:07.080 Plus, he got his name wrong.
01:01:08.380 It's not Rishi Sunak.
01:01:10.320 It's Rishi Sunak.
01:01:12.320 But.
01:01:13.060 Good God.
01:01:13.980 He shows his racism on a regular basis and it's completely ignored every time.
01:01:21.300 Every time.
01:01:22.180 It's so weird.
01:01:23.000 You just said his name and it's unusual, I guess, for a name from somebody who speaks English, right?
01:01:29.820 It's obviously from India or somewhere in that neighborhood.
01:01:34.860 So, his brother would say, go figure on, like, how did that happen?
01:01:41.100 Yeah, this guy.
01:01:42.060 In the Conservative Party.
01:01:43.360 In other words, like these Conservatives actually elected someone who wasn't white.
01:01:47.680 Like, that's kind of what he's saying, I guess.
01:01:49.580 It's hard for me to actually trace his thought patterns mostly.
01:01:52.040 I think it's exactly what he's saying.
01:01:54.180 He's just so bad.
01:01:55.920 And he's saying it again about a person of Indian descent.
01:01:59.060 In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans, moving from India.
01:02:05.380 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
01:02:13.100 I'm not joking.
01:02:14.220 He's not joking.
01:02:14.880 He's not.
01:02:15.260 No, he's actually being racist.
01:02:17.040 He's not joking about being racist.
01:02:18.880 He's showing you he is one.
01:02:20.560 Yeah, it's not a racially based joke that he thought would be funny even though he didn't believe it.
01:02:24.760 He actually does believe it.
01:02:26.200 He does believe it.
01:02:26.960 Right.
01:02:27.780 So then, Biden forgets Sunak's title yesterday and can't come up with Winston Churchill's name.
01:02:36.480 All in the same general sentence.
01:02:39.820 But we should totally elect him.
01:02:41.040 Well, Mr. President, just to move to you, Mr. Prime Minister, it's great to have you.
01:02:47.440 The second balcony you see, the first balcony you see going on.
01:02:50.000 So, at any rate, there's an awful lot of stories that are told, probably a bunch apocryphal about the former Prime Minister.
01:03:02.860 I can take baths of that.
01:03:04.880 Anyway.
01:03:05.180 Wandering around at 3 in the morning.
01:03:06.900 Winston Churchill bothering Mrs. Roosevelt.
01:03:09.780 He can't come up with Winston Churchill's name there.
01:03:15.360 He's...
01:03:16.100 It really...
01:03:18.980 Every day, it makes your jaw drop.
01:03:21.240 It really does.
01:03:22.080 That this man is somehow President of the United States.
01:03:25.320 It somehow became the most powerful man on earth.
01:03:28.500 It is.
01:03:28.860 And you'd think, like, every once in a while, he can speak normally.
01:03:32.220 He sounds like normal.
01:03:33.520 The fact that he can't seem to project his voice at all.
01:03:39.120 It's so shallow.
01:03:40.260 Yeah.
01:03:40.480 I mean, I can barely even hear him in these clips.
01:03:43.040 It's really incredible.
01:03:44.680 I know.
01:03:45.240 All right.
01:03:45.600 We've got more to come on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu coming up.
01:03:57.320 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:03:58.860 When we lose one of our service members or first responders, the tragedy just, you know,
01:04:04.680 doesn't just end on that day, especially for their families.
01:04:08.300 Who's there to help them pick up the pieces?
01:04:10.400 Well, it's Tunnel to Towers.
01:04:11.960 When veterans who have served our country end up living on the streets, who reaches out
01:04:17.080 with a hand of help?
01:04:18.000 Well, it's Tunnel to Towers.
01:04:19.600 This foundation is in the line of duty programs.
01:04:22.460 The Gold Star, Fallen First Responder, Smart Home, and Veteran Homelessness Programs
01:04:27.320 are all dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families.
01:04:31.040 And their Never Forget programs engage people in 9-11 remembrance across America.
01:04:35.820 They host over 80 runs, walks, and climbs per year.
01:04:39.080 They have dozens of golf outings and barbecues.
01:04:41.160 They also work to educate kids of all ages to help our nation never forget what happened
01:04:45.720 on that day.
01:04:46.720 More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes to
01:04:51.040 its programs.
01:04:52.120 Check them out for yourself today.

01:05:18.480 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
01:05:38.200 There's an interesting new Gallup poll out for about the last, I don't know, 10 or 15
01:05:44.920 years.
01:05:45.640 Seems like the split of conservative to liberal in this country has been fairly even.
01:05:51.900 I mean, usually, I remember in years past, conservatives outnumbered liberals by a little
01:05:58.400 bit.
01:05:58.960 You wouldn't think so because it's the liberals and their policies that we're always being
01:06:03.220 beaten over the head with.
01:06:04.600 But that's just because as conservatives, we like to just live our lives and not show up
01:06:11.660 with a cardboard sign on a street corner when everybody else is at work.
01:06:16.160 And conservatives don't do that because they're at work, too.
01:06:19.380 Liberals, they got nothing better to do.
01:06:21.760 You know, they're unemployed and they got nothing to do but write something on a sign and go out
01:06:27.580 and hold it up.
01:06:28.200 But according to this latest values and beliefs survey done by Gallup, 40% of Americans identify
01:06:37.480 as conservative.
01:06:39.060 26% is liberal.
01:06:40.860 That's a 14% split.
01:06:43.400 That's huge.
01:06:44.660 Yeah.
01:06:45.040 That's huge.
01:06:46.660 Yeah.
01:06:47.020 It's interesting.
01:06:48.200 And that split has existed before.
01:06:51.240 It's not a completely new phenomenon.
01:06:52.700 That big?
01:06:53.060 Yeah.
01:06:53.620 Is it?
01:06:53.940 I don't know if it's been that big, maybe a little bit less than that.
01:06:57.420 It's an interesting one, though, because it shows that it really tells a lot about those
01:07:01.780 words in particular.
01:07:02.800 I think there's a lot of Democrats who consider themselves conservative Democrats, right?
01:07:07.540 Even though we would like to meet them.
01:07:10.140 I think I'd love to meet them.
01:07:12.020 You know where I think you do meet a lot of them is in the African-American and Hispanic
01:07:15.520 communities who are very socially conservative and don't see themselves as crazy liberals.
01:07:21.220 They don't see themselves as woke, but tend to vote Democrat, you know, tend to still
01:07:26.780 vote Democrat for whatever reason.
01:07:29.480 I would say ill-advised reasons in my mind, but do that.
01:07:34.540 You know, you almost, like, if you were to say, hey, you're a conservative Democrat, some
01:07:38.640 people will, you can see that person.
01:07:40.000 We just talked about them.
01:07:41.240 Can you picture who the liberal Republican is who would, again, self-identifies as a liberal
01:07:46.040 Republican?
01:07:46.660 We can all point to many Republicans we think are too liberal.
01:07:49.180 But, like, people who say, yeah, no, I'm a proud liberal Republican.
01:07:53.060 Not very common, right?
01:07:55.080 There's a lot of Joe Manchin types out there that will say, I'm a conservative Democrat,
01:07:58.520 even though he's not a conservative Democrat.
01:08:00.440 He's just a Democrat.
01:08:01.820 But he's more conservative than AOC, right?
01:08:05.300 Yeah.
01:08:05.540 And he's probably a real Democrat as opposed to a Marxist like AOC, Joe Biden, or just about
01:08:12.680 anybody else who was in leadership in that party.
01:08:15.920 This is kind of interesting, too.
01:08:17.300 So, 40% conservative, 26% liberal, 31% consider themselves moderate, somewhere in the middle.
01:08:24.600 And I think that's what a lot of people like to identify with because it seems nicer.
01:08:28.900 Yeah.
01:08:29.200 Noncommittal.
01:08:30.080 Yeah.
01:08:30.560 Less extreme.
01:08:32.040 Mm-hmm.
01:08:32.280 And so, you say, yeah, I'm really moderate, I guess.
01:08:36.960 I'm conservative on some things and not so conservative on others.
01:08:41.940 But it's the first time in a while I've seen a split quite that big.
01:08:49.080 So, you would think that would give us a shot, that would give conservatives a shot at winning
01:08:55.460 the presidential election in a year and a half, wouldn't you?
01:08:59.140 I mean, you'd like to believe that.
01:09:00.600 You hope that's the case.
01:09:02.460 Because if it doesn't turn out that way, we're in really, really deep trouble.
01:09:08.020 Yeah.
01:09:08.180 Yeah, I agree.
01:09:10.000 And it shows that there's real growth opportunities, I think, for conservatives who can say, hey,
01:09:13.780 look, we're going to bring to you a sensible package that does not alienate all of your
01:09:19.940 views, but connects with you on a lot of the stuff that makes people say that they are
01:09:24.800 conservative.
01:09:25.360 I think people want to run away from the AOC wing.
01:09:28.640 A lot of Democrats really do see that as different.
01:09:31.940 You know, they don't want to be that person.
01:09:35.520 Now, I think, unfortunately, when you vote for the even moderate, what you think is a
01:09:41.080 moderate Democrat, you wind up empowering AOC.
01:09:44.880 Look at the difference in voting between the moderate Democrat and AOC.
01:09:48.860 It's almost impossible to find.
01:09:51.660 When you're talking about people who are in office, those people vote in lockstep on the
01:09:57.640 Democratic side.
01:09:58.280 You can find a real difference between, you know, Lindsey Graham and some Freedom Caucus
01:10:03.680 member.
01:10:04.280 There's a real massive gap between those two.
01:10:08.100 And we can cite Manchin and Sinema as a couple of, I guess you'd call them moderate Democrats.
01:10:13.600 Technically, Sinema's an independent now, but you can talk about them as moderate Democrats.
01:10:18.520 And there are a couple of those people.
01:10:21.240 Not many.
01:10:22.380 They still vote in lockstep 90% of the time, even when they do supposedly exist.
01:10:27.700 And what's happened lately, I think, is that a lot of conservatives have sort of fallen
01:10:33.360 for the theory that maybe RFK Jr.
01:10:37.800 is one of those sort of conservative Democrats, that he's more moderate, that he's in the middle.
01:10:43.080 I mean, he said some really great things.
01:10:44.740 If you weren't a big fan of mandated vaccines or getting a shot at all, he said some great
01:10:50.780 things about the border, although it's a new one for him.
01:10:56.240 And he's really good on cryptocurrency.
01:10:59.700 Really good on that.
01:11:00.500 He has been really good at that, which is, you know, I don't know, odd in some ways, I
01:11:04.680 guess.
01:11:05.000 I wouldn't normally place that on his platform.
01:11:07.780 But I give him credit on that.
01:11:09.440 He's been good on that.
01:11:10.600 But when you dig into his policy positions, just a little bit further, all right, on those
01:11:16.020 three issues, yeah, you know, and you mentioned this last hour, conservatives love it when
01:11:21.380 they can connect with a liberal on anything.
01:11:24.060 And we want to talk to him and we want to praise them.
01:11:27.160 You know, it's a lot like Bill Maher.
01:11:28.500 Every once in a while, he shows some real common sense.
01:11:30.620 And you're like, wow, look at this.
01:11:32.120 Well, then you dig into, all right, where really is RFK Jr. on policy positions?
01:11:40.980 So I looked it up yesterday and he was asked a whole series of questions to which he mostly
01:11:47.100 responded yes or no.
01:11:48.780 How about raising taxes on the rich?
01:11:51.560 Yes, he's in favor of that.
01:11:53.940 Do you support increasing taxes for the rich in order to reduce interest rates for student
01:11:58.660 loans?
01:11:59.860 Yes.
01:12:00.300 Uh, do you favor teaching critical race theory in our public schools?
01:12:06.000 Yes.
01:12:07.060 Should government pay for college?
01:12:10.060 Yes.
01:12:11.100 Should there be more climate regulations in the United States?
01:12:15.900 Yes.
01:12:16.700 Should the federal government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?
01:12:20.920 Yes.
01:12:22.140 Again, these are JFK policy positions, JFK Jr.
01:12:26.520 Um, I'm sorry, RFK.
01:12:28.700 Yeah.
01:12:29.220 JFK doesn't have too many.
01:12:30.980 He would not be a good candidate at all right now.
01:12:32.280 Not right now.
01:12:33.440 Uh, are you in favor of drilling in Anwar?
01:12:36.340 RFK Jr.?
01:12:37.600 No.
01:12:38.820 Are you in favor of building a wall on the southern border?
01:12:42.220 No.
01:12:43.340 Should the-
01:12:43.840 The border one is the one I want to take a quick step on.
01:12:46.560 He, lately, over the past couple of weeks, has suddenly become some border hawk.
01:12:50.860 Like, I don't-
01:12:52.360 That does not seem to be real to me.
01:12:54.740 And, now, there is some consistency with old-school Democrats on that.
01:12:58.420 And that's part of what I think the appeal is among Democratic voters to RFK.
01:13:02.940 Yeah.
01:13:03.640 Um, because, uh, Jr.
01:13:04.720 Because he, he is consistent on, like, for example, the anti-war aspect of the Democratic Party that has been in existence forever.
01:13:11.900 Right?
01:13:12.300 He's very anti-war.
01:13:14.040 And the rest of the party is, all of a sudden, really hawkish.
01:13:16.280 And really hawkish, all of a sudden, out of nowhere.
01:13:18.040 So, like, he's connecting with some of those voters.
01:13:20.660 Um, the vaccine thing is another one.
01:13:21.940 Like, that one has been around, obviously, for a long time.
01:13:24.320 And, and, you know, certainly lots of crossover between conservatives who oppose mandates and other aspects of the vaccine stuff.
01:13:31.400 Um, there's consistency.
01:13:33.240 And, and, and, but remember, that, that has always been largely a movement on the left.
01:13:37.880 I mean, it was Jenny McCarthy.
01:13:39.220 It was, uh, you know, uh, RFK Jr.
01:13:43.080 Has been for a long time the voice of, of this movement.
01:13:46.420 And he's been, obviously, on the left.
01:13:48.160 You know, Jim Carrey, when he was married to, uh, to, uh, or Jenny McCarthy.
01:13:52.240 Another, uh, big moment there.
01:13:54.480 I, I, I mentioned this article a while ago because it was hilarious.
01:13:57.320 But it was a, um, an article, it was 2015.
01:14:00.520 An article from the New York Post.
01:14:02.520 I think it was.
01:14:03.380 That, here's the top 10, um, uh, top 10 out, anti-vax, um, uh, faces of the anti-vax movement or something in, in celebrity culture.
01:14:13.800 And so they listed him.
01:14:15.160 And almost every single one of them was a left-wing figure.
01:14:20.160 Mm.
01:14:20.480 With one exception.
01:14:22.680 Can you guess who it was?
01:14:24.060 One exception.
01:14:24.800 One guy on the right who was listed as one of these top 10 faces of the anti-vax movement.
01:14:31.460 I, um, I probably should, no.
01:14:35.940 No, you won't.
01:14:36.820 I don't.
01:14:37.000 You won't.
01:14:37.500 Donald Trump.
01:14:39.200 Because Donald Trump.
01:14:40.100 I was going to say Donald Trump, and yet, he's responsible for warp speed.
01:14:46.400 Right.
01:14:46.720 Now, he's the one guy, the one thing conservatives seem to have a problem with Donald Trump on is Operation Warp Speed.
01:14:53.080 Warp Speed, back then, he was the face of the anti-vax movement on the right, because he had made some, you know, comments about autism or whatever.
01:15:01.160 Yeah.
01:15:01.340 And then you have, uh, all the other ones were all left-wingers, and now all those people are probably out there mandating that you go get a shot.
01:15:08.560 Like, none of this makes any sense.
01:15:10.200 No, it doesn't.
01:15:11.040 No, it doesn't.
01:15:11.520 Anyway, so go, you're back to RFK.
01:15:12.860 Neither, by the way, does warp speed.
01:15:14.560 That's not possible.
01:15:15.480 You can't hit warp speed.
01:15:16.840 Oh, really?
01:15:17.200 Yeah, according to the theory of relativity from Newton, the closer you get to the speed of light, the bigger your mass becomes, so that by the time you would get there, you would slow down so much that you'd almost be going zero.
01:15:29.640 The whole thing's a lie.
01:15:30.520 It's a lie.
01:15:31.060 Oh, my gosh.
01:15:31.360 It's all a lie.
01:15:32.000 Don't buy into it.
01:15:33.460 Don't buy into warp speed.
01:15:35.340 It's not real.
01:15:36.280 Should the government, back to RFK Jr., should the government support a separation of church and state by removing references to God on money, federal buildings, national monuments?
01:15:49.100 Yes, is his policy position.
01:15:51.320 Guy's not a conservative.
01:15:52.260 Not at all.
01:15:52.960 No.
01:15:53.560 How about universal basic income?
01:15:55.500 You favor that?
01:15:56.780 Yes.
01:15:57.580 Yes, he is.
01:15:58.700 Oh, my God.
01:15:59.360 Do you support Common Core?
01:16:01.260 Yes.
01:16:02.000 Yes, he does.
01:16:02.820 Oh, my God.
01:16:03.500 Oh, how about hydraulic fracking, which really saved this country when everybody else was going into recessions?
01:16:10.920 No.
01:16:11.840 No, there shouldn't be any.
01:16:13.880 Would you increase or decrease military spending?
01:16:17.740 Decrease, of course.
01:16:19.000 Do you support your big climate change guy?
01:16:21.440 How about renewable, endless energy from nuclear energy?
01:16:26.200 No.
01:16:27.620 Hmm.
01:16:29.180 Should the current estate tax be decreased?
01:16:33.020 No.
01:16:33.860 No, it should not.
01:16:35.240 Which is the most, I think, immoral tax on the face of this planet.
01:16:41.880 That somehow the government is due 50% of everything that you accrued during your lifetime, despite the fact that you paid taxes on it your entire lifetime already.
01:16:51.720 Why should you have to pay again?
01:16:52.880 Usually multiple times.
01:16:53.900 Yeah.
01:16:54.120 You probably have invested it.
01:16:55.640 It's probably paid again.
01:16:57.020 And then you get taxed again because you die.
01:17:00.760 Right.
01:17:01.620 It's crazy.
01:17:02.280 That is a pretty rough one.
01:17:03.300 Absolute insanity.
01:17:04.320 So just a few positions.
01:17:04.900 That's an incredible list.
01:17:05.760 I mean, some of those I didn't even know.
01:17:07.240 Because, you know, we all knew the climate thing was a big part of the RFK situation.
01:17:11.980 I mean, he has gone to the point.
01:17:15.040 He really called people a traitor.
01:17:17.360 Yeah.
01:17:17.740 He called, not just people.
01:17:19.740 Let me give you a couple of the people.
01:17:21.120 Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
01:17:23.120 He called them traitors and said they needed to be treated like traitors.
01:17:26.620 Pat, in the Constitution, what happens to traitors?
01:17:29.260 They're put to death.
01:17:30.080 They're put to death.
01:17:31.640 I mean.
01:17:32.280 Put to death.
01:17:32.940 He actually did say, too, he wishes there was a law by which you could punish these people.
01:17:37.780 Yeah.
01:17:38.240 And then said.
01:17:38.580 Oh, my gosh.
01:17:39.420 Talked about being a traitor.
01:17:41.660 And then went on to say, when he was called out and say, hey, are you really calling for all these people's deaths?
01:17:46.740 He said, no, he'd rather just put them in prison for the rest of their lives.
01:17:50.080 Oh, okay.
01:17:50.680 Well, that's way better.
01:17:51.460 People who disagree with him on climate change.
01:17:54.700 This is an authoritarian to levels that no other candidate hits, arguably.
01:18:03.300 Would I like to see him be Joe Biden in a primary?
01:18:06.160 Yes.
01:18:06.620 Do I love the chaos he's bringing to that primary?
01:18:08.960 Sure.
01:18:09.660 I do.
01:18:10.320 But it's also important to separate that this guy would, first of all, would be a horrible president of the United States.
01:18:15.940 Horrible.
01:18:16.320 No matter what you agree with him on.
01:18:18.360 You may have found three or four things you agree with him on.
01:18:20.920 He would be a horrible president of the United States, a person willing to use his power to imprison his political opponents who disagree with him on climate change.
01:18:29.480 This is not a guy we should be like, oh, wow, let's run to him.
01:18:32.720 He's a disaster.
01:18:34.500 As we talked about on my show a few times, that's an amazing stance, too, for a guy who wants you to go with him on the hazard of vaccines.
01:18:44.180 Yeah.
01:18:44.400 Something that virtually most of the country, most of the mainstream accepts.
01:18:49.700 Okay, yes, we should get vaccinated against things and have our kids vaccinated.
01:18:53.100 Even if you don't like a particular vaccine or two, the general concept of it is not particularly controversial outside of that movement.
01:18:59.840 Yes.
01:19:00.480 But does he grant the same sort of benefit of the doubt to people who deny that climate change is catastrophic?
01:19:08.980 No.
01:19:09.320 Right.
01:19:09.860 No.
01:19:10.060 No, he's not arguing for the vaccine stuff that you might agree with him on, on personal liberty grounds, though he makes that argument a lot.
01:19:20.320 He'll talk about personal liberty a lot.
01:19:22.420 That is not the actual reason he's making that argument.
01:19:25.300 You can tell because he wants to steal other people who disagree with him all of their liberty completely.
01:19:31.440 He wants to put them behind bars for the rest of their lives.
01:19:34.900 He wants to threaten them with something that is punishable by death.
01:19:39.380 Amazing.
01:19:40.060 By the way, you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
01:19:43.540 And more coming up.
01:19:46.760 All right.
01:19:48.540 Patriot Mobile.
01:19:49.500 What a great company.
01:19:50.380 Patriot Mobile.
01:19:50.700 And if I could just throw this in.
01:19:51.960 Yes.
01:19:52.460 Right before Patriot Mobile.
01:19:53.820 Yeah.
01:19:54.140 Isn't Glenn going to interview him sometime soon after he gets back?
01:19:57.080 And I'm sure that this conversation will come up.
01:19:59.100 Yeah, that's going to be fun.
01:19:59.860 You know, and it should.
01:20:00.600 That is going to be fun.
01:20:01.700 Yeah.
01:20:01.980 I mean, look, they'll find plenty of ground to agree with on, I'm sure.
01:20:04.840 But hopefully he calls him out on all this stuff.
01:20:07.540 I know he will.
01:20:08.160 Anyway, it seems like not that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was the same as the dinner table.
01:20:13.260 Religion and politics.
01:20:14.200 You listen to talk radio to talk about politics and religion.
01:20:16.400 You know, you don't want to talk about that when you're selling a product.
01:20:19.640 Well, normie capitalism is dead.
01:20:22.360 It's just gone.
01:20:23.920 That's been murdered by the left.
01:20:25.640 So what do you do?
01:20:26.500 We have to come up with a parallel economy.

01:21:28.680 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
01:21:41.960 Something that has never happened before, a women's softball team won.
01:21:47.760 I mean, they play a lot of games in softball.
01:21:49.900 It's like baseball.
01:21:50.620 You play, you know, 60, 70 games depending on what tournaments you go to and if you make it as far as they did.
01:21:56.120 But they were 61-1 on the season.
01:21:59.320 Wow.
01:21:59.960 Won their third straight softball championship.
01:22:02.060 That's incredible.
01:22:02.960 Yeah, amazing.
01:22:03.920 I mean, I would like to talk more about that, but I don't care because you just gave me a bunch of Kexi cookies.
01:22:09.940 Yes.
01:22:10.200 And now I'm fascinated by them instead of you.
01:22:12.040 The Kexi cookies are also delicious.
01:22:13.820 We've got the Father's Day box, which includes this.
01:22:17.000 My new favorite cookie.
01:22:18.400 I've tried just a little bit of it.
01:22:19.880 But it is a lemonade raspberry cookie.
01:22:24.520 Oh, so good.
01:22:25.720 That sounds really good.
01:22:27.140 But check out our Father's Day box.

01:22:37.300 Oh, cool.
01:22:37.740 Yeah.
01:22:38.620 Kexi.com.
01:22:39.720 Patent stew for Glenn.
01:22:41.260 More is on the way.
01:22:42.860 Hang in there.
01:22:45.120 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:46.620 You know, we've seen this with the very rare pro-life Democrat who gets just tossed from, well, it's almost non-existent now because they get tossed from the party.
01:22:59.820 They're almost extinct.
01:23:00.900 Yeah.
01:23:01.240 And we've talked to a lot of people.
01:23:02.520 I can't think of a pro-life Democrat right now.
01:23:05.360 As a politician?
01:23:06.700 Yeah, I can't think of one off the top of my head.
01:23:08.180 Is there one?
01:23:09.820 I, man, I don't think so.
01:23:11.960 Not that I...
01:23:12.520 I mean, we saw this in the last, in 2000, what was it, 2020.
01:23:16.380 They just threw them out of the party.
01:23:19.240 Bye-bye.
01:23:19.580 They said you can't be in the party if you're pro-life.
01:23:22.180 My gosh.
01:23:22.780 They don't even want them.
01:23:24.060 So one piece of disagreement with the Democratic line gets you tossed from the Democratic Party.
01:23:28.940 Republicans, like, if there's a Democrat that agrees with us on, like, one little thing, we're like, please come talk to us.
01:23:34.220 We will adore them.
01:23:35.420 Yes, to the end of time.
01:23:38.100 That's true.
01:23:38.760 It's partially because everyone vilifies people on the right.
01:23:42.860 But I think people on the right, too, are so used to getting criticized, to getting pushback from the media and mainstream sources,
01:23:51.420 that we're much more willing to talk to people we disagree with.
01:23:54.420 I mean, like, all right, like, okay, I don't think you're right on X, Y, and Z, but let's talk about, you know, A, whatever that other topic is.
01:24:03.740 Let's talk about that and see if we can find some common ground on that.
01:24:06.940 A lot of times we can.
01:24:07.820 And I think that's the situation with RFK, because I think people are forgetting all the other crazy things he believes.
01:24:11.720 But we'll share some of those crazy things he believes coming up.
01:24:15.580 Also, much more from Joe Biden yesterday is an astounding day.
01:24:19.880 Coming up on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.
01:24:22.880 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:26.260 What is dad style when it comes to clothing?
01:24:28.480 Is he one of the cool dads?
01:24:29.580 Always seems to find a way to remain hip and well-dressed a decade after decade?
01:24:33.440 Or is he one of those dads that has to pass inspection by mom every single time he walks out of the house?
01:24:38.640 In either case, the dad in your life is going to love clothing from American Giant.
01:24:42.440 This sweatshirt I'm wearing right now, American Giant, I freaking love it.
01:24:45.420 I've got a bunch of these now.
01:24:46.300 I keep buying them.

01:26:14.780 Man, would he have come in handy a few days ago, before all these Canadian wildfires started.
01:26:23.440 Only you can prevent forest fires.
01:26:27.260 Remember that?
01:26:27.800 Are you too young for that?
01:26:28.680 I do remember those announcements.
01:26:29.640 Though I would add on, a sensible forest management can also prevent them.
01:26:34.200 Not just me, but also sensible forest management.
01:26:37.380 What kind of right-wing kook are you?

01:27:52.760 I'm Pat Gray.
01:27:53.820 This is Stupor Gear.
01:27:54.880 We're filling in for Glenn this week and happy to be doing it.
01:27:59.800 888-727-BECK.
01:28:01.680 So, the wildfires, the latest on them is what?
01:28:05.720 They're causing a lot of smoke.
01:28:07.160 We do know that.
01:28:08.080 Yeah.
01:28:08.400 If you're on the East Coast, yesterday they were telling you not to even go outside in places like New York City and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
01:28:15.700 I mean, the pollutant index was higher than a lot of people had ever seen it.
01:28:24.020 Yeah.
01:28:24.200 Janice Dean on Fox News said Harrisburg had the worst air quality ever in American history.
01:28:29.940 Yeah.
01:28:30.740 So, and I know-
01:28:32.100 It's not good.
01:28:32.560 I didn't see the Harrisburg numbers, but the record previously was, I think, I want to say it was Portland or something from a wildfire situation.
01:28:40.740 And New York's particulate matter level, like, quadrupled it?
01:28:46.460 Doubled or quadrupled that level?
01:28:48.060 Yeah.
01:28:48.540 It really is incredible.
01:28:49.600 And you've seen the footage, of course.
01:28:50.900 You can't see anything in half of these places.
01:28:53.300 What I found was interesting.
01:28:55.420 There was this crazy woman who's out there in the middle of, like, the haze.
01:29:00.400 The whole city of New York looks orange, and she's standing there in Times Square just yelling, like,
01:29:04.560 We need to stop climate change!
01:29:08.120 Oh, jeez.
01:29:08.600 We can't be breathing all of these fumes!
01:29:12.540 You know, we need-
01:29:13.060 Climate change.
01:29:14.260 We need to be livable future people.
01:29:17.260 Livable future people?
01:29:18.460 That was, I believe, her quote.
01:29:19.700 We need to be livable future people.
01:29:22.080 Hmm.
01:29:22.460 Okay.
01:29:22.740 We played this clip on the show last night, Studios America, by the way, 8 p.m. Eastern
01:29:28.280 on blazetv.com slash Glenn, or on youtube.com slash Studios America, or on podcast, check
01:29:32.960 it out.
01:29:33.640 And we played this clip of this crazy, crazy person just screaming, and just thinking, like,
01:29:41.200 the real risk here is you being out screaming now with no protection.
01:29:46.640 Like, this is the time that you probably want to be inside.
01:29:49.640 You can scream about climate change later if you really want to.
01:29:53.320 Oh, we have the clip here.
01:29:54.660 Here, let's listen to it.
01:29:56.280 This is genocide!
01:29:58.660 This is not normal!
01:30:01.300 We must breathe clean air!
01:30:04.300 We must live life like normal, livable future people!
01:30:12.240 Normal, livable future people.
01:30:15.220 Now, I love that phrase, and I want to keep using it.
01:30:18.740 Because it's true, Pat.
01:30:19.980 We must live like normal, livable future people.
01:30:22.200 Well, I've been saying that for years.
01:30:24.060 People ignored it, because I'm not a female screaming in Times Square.
01:30:27.740 In a bikini.
01:30:28.420 Yeah.
01:30:29.020 That's, you know, people do tend to listen to women in bikinis more than you, I will say.
01:30:34.780 You know, the problem is, they have, the left, has done this to people like her.
01:30:41.320 You know, to our youth, who think that we've only got eight years left, because four years
01:30:46.540 ago, the catastrophic prediction was extinction-level catastrophe within 12 years.
01:30:53.740 Well, now we're down to about eight, and so they've done this their whole lives to these
01:30:58.400 kids in school, and they scared the crap out of them.
01:31:01.620 Their fear-mongering worked, and so now this is what, this is what you have.
01:31:06.180 This is the result of that.
01:31:07.780 This is how it works.
01:31:08.740 And it scares the hell out of people.
01:31:10.660 You know, it's easy to sit here and mock them for calling themselves normal, livable future
01:31:14.560 people, which you should do.
01:31:16.560 But also, the reality has to hit us at some point, that these are people who are now maybe
01:31:22.760 20 years old, but were 10 years ago 10 years old.
01:31:26.220 And they were hitting, getting hit in the face with this every single day at school, by their
01:31:31.080 dumb parents, probably, by, certainly by the media, telling them that catastrophe was around
01:31:36.480 the corner at any moment, and everyone is out to kill them.
01:31:39.820 Well, yeah, that's what you turn into when you feel like your life has been threatened
01:31:42.780 for 10 years, from the time that you're 10 years old to the time that you're 20.
01:31:46.420 Yes, you're going to be an insane person on the street screaming about normal, livable
01:31:49.740 future people.
01:31:51.240 Yes.
01:31:51.640 Yes, that is the result of all of that.
01:31:53.400 Yes.
01:31:54.120 So we need to stop that immediately.
01:31:55.760 Let me at least attempt to give some context on these fires, because we got this from everybody
01:32:00.260 yesterday, you know, Justin Trudeau, year after year with climate change, we're seeing
01:32:04.860 more and more intense wildfires, and they're going to start happening in places where they
01:32:08.700 don't normally.
01:32:10.100 Of course, you know, if anyone's to blame here, it's probably Justin Trudeau, because
01:32:15.420 he's done such a terrible job in a myriad of ways.
01:32:20.040 But I will say, of course, he's going to blame climate change.
01:32:23.220 Um, ABC News, how Canada's wildfires and air quality warnings are connected to climate
01:32:28.180 change.
01:32:29.080 Washington Post, smoke brings a warning.
01:32:31.080 There's no escaping.
01:32:32.260 Climate change is threat to Earth.
01:32:34.320 Come on.
01:32:34.900 Um, let's see, the Guardian, Canada's wildfires are part of our new climate reality, experts
01:32:42.360 and officials say.
01:32:43.760 So experts are saying it.
01:32:45.420 Which experts?
01:32:46.520 Just experts.
01:32:47.680 Of which officials?
01:32:48.660 Just officials.
01:32:49.940 Experts and officials.
01:32:51.100 Um, then you've got Alberta is on fire, but climate change is an election taboo, which
01:32:57.620 is fascinating, because all I hear are Democrats talking about climate change all the time.
01:33:01.280 What, how is it taboo?
01:33:02.840 Taboo.
01:33:03.320 They talk about it all the time.
01:33:05.980 So you look at the pictures, and they're pretty dramatic, right?
01:33:09.020 You see that.
01:33:09.540 And it is, it is understandable that people would ask questions when, you know, the whole
01:33:14.740 sky is orange all of a sudden.
01:33:16.000 Um, but this happened back in, with the Australia situation back in 2019, 2020.
01:33:21.100 We mentioned this a little bit yesterday.
01:33:23.120 The historical burn levels are down dramatically since, uh, really since the 1960s when it comes
01:33:32.900 to burn.
01:33:33.360 And you think, okay, well, this is the time that global warming was supposed to be kicking
01:33:36.200 in.
01:33:37.220 Mm-hmm.
01:33:37.540 We were told that, you know, it was unprecedented in 2020, in 2019, 2020, the amount of burn
01:33:44.820 that went on in Australia.
01:33:45.620 But no, actually, it was one of their lowest on record, below average.
01:33:50.500 Um, and one of the arguments they make is, well, it's going to get worse later on.
01:33:55.020 And there are some models that show that will get a little bit worse later on.
01:33:59.180 However, when you look at it in comparison, you know, the historical burn levels used to
01:34:04.040 be about 12% of Australia would burn on a yearly basis, which is incredible to think
01:34:11.140 about.
01:34:11.440 I mean, these things happen all the time.
01:34:12.780 These fires happen all the time and they burn out of control all the time.
01:34:16.320 Usually they're affecting like bears in the woods.
01:34:19.940 When they affect people, people tend to notice.
01:34:22.620 But the increase in the climate model is like 1%.
01:34:25.880 We've dropped by about two thirds since the old days.
01:34:32.080 And this is in Australia.
01:34:33.320 The models show increasing by about one point.
01:34:37.920 Now, are they going to be right?
01:34:39.320 I'm going to tell you right now, I don't think they're going to be right.
01:34:41.460 I think they're going to, they've overstated the case here.
01:34:43.440 But even if they are right, it's still much, much better than it was.
01:34:47.660 And that's because of capitalism.
01:34:49.860 It's because of technology.
01:34:51.060 It's because we've developed so many ways to push back against these fires.
01:34:56.440 Now, you may say, as some would, that maybe you're just talking about Australia.
01:35:00.700 Because we know how many more, how many more fires there are here all across the world.
01:35:04.640 The globe is a blaze, Pat.
01:35:08.480 However, when you look at the, this is not from me, this is from scientific studies, which
01:35:15.100 goes back to global historical reconstruction of fire areas, areas that have dealt with
01:35:21.080 wildfires, wildfires, and also satellite measurements that we have today.
01:35:24.560 And what we've seen is a dramatic decrease in the past century when it comes to wildfires.
01:35:31.840 Global burned area from 1901 to 2020 is down by 70%.
01:35:38.020 I mean, I'm eyeballing it here, but about 70%.
01:35:40.240 The, another paper in Nature talks about the historical simulation into the modern measurement
01:35:49.160 techniques, shows a drop in every measure, as far as area burned across the world.
01:35:54.580 Oh.
01:35:55.080 In every measure.
01:35:56.360 In every measure.
01:35:57.160 Is all, though.
01:35:57.840 Yeah.
01:35:58.020 I mean, you can't, okay, you can't get any, are you, is that the best stat you have?
01:36:03.320 Just all of them.
01:36:04.200 Down in all measures?
01:36:05.380 Just all of them.
01:36:06.920 And this is, you know, this is the story over and over again.
01:36:09.200 And it's tough to, you know, to talk about, you know, random studies and charts and stuff,
01:36:14.660 particularly on radio.
01:36:15.840 But let me give you this.
01:36:16.460 This is from the, and I know this is something that you subscribe to and you read this article,
01:36:21.560 Global Trends and Wildfire and Its Impacts, Perceptions Versus Realities in a Changing World.
01:36:25.840 I know that was something you've.
01:36:27.180 A lot of times I wait for the swimsuit issue.
01:36:29.080 Yeah.
01:36:29.680 I didn't this year because it was just so compelling.
01:36:32.060 It was so compelling.
01:36:32.900 Yeah.
01:36:33.040 Okay.
01:36:33.220 Well, I don't, I'm going to bore you with this quote.
01:36:35.200 All right.
01:36:35.480 But, um, many people may not subscribe.
01:36:39.140 So let me give this to you.
01:36:40.940 Many consider wildfire as an accelerating problem with widely held perceptions, both
01:36:46.020 in the media and scientific papers of increasing fire occurrence, severity, and resulting losses.
01:36:51.740 However, important exceptions aside, the quantitative evidence available does not support these
01:36:58.920 perceived overall trends.
01:37:00.400 Instead, global area burned appears to have overall declined over past decades, and there
01:37:07.540 is increasing evidence that there is less fire in the global landscape today than centuries
01:37:12.800 ago.
01:37:13.640 Perhaps rather than a wildfire problem that has worsened globally in recent decades, the
01:37:19.780 negative and sometimes tragic consequences of fire themselves may be gaining wider public
01:37:24.780 attention and therefore recognition.
01:37:27.440 The fact that nowadays latest news reports about disasters from around the world are readily
01:37:33.260 available to large parts of the population may be a contributing factor.
01:37:37.880 What is not spreading equally is the recognition that fire is a fundamental natural ecological event
01:37:45.980 in many of our ecosystems and only a quote problem end quote where we choose to inhabit these
01:37:53.040 fire prone regions or we humans introduce it to non-fire adapted ecosystems.
01:37:58.580 The wildfire problem is essentially more a social than a natural one.
01:38:05.600 That is not a borderline comment.
01:38:09.720 That is really, really clear.
01:38:12.300 Our perceptions of these fires are obviously, with all the coverage, we see them more, we
01:38:18.460 experience them more.
01:38:20.660 Sometimes they get closer to our buildings, likely because we build more buildings.
01:38:26.840 We expand.
01:38:27.720 We go into these areas that used to burn regularly.
01:38:30.440 We didn't notice them.
01:38:31.400 Now we're closer to them than we do.
01:38:33.020 But the other huge issue is that we've got so much more access to the information that we
01:38:38.080 hear about it more because of Twitter, because of Facebook, because of 24-hour cable news coverage
01:38:44.500 on, you know, a million different networks.
01:38:46.760 We just hear about it all the time.
01:38:48.520 We hear about it constantly.
01:38:49.880 And, you know, the central part of this is fires are down.
01:38:52.940 They're down.
01:38:53.560 Down.
01:38:54.840 Down.
01:38:55.760 They're happening less frequently.
01:38:57.480 They're passing.
01:38:58.640 They're affecting fewer, fewer Americans and global citizens.
01:39:05.220 One of the things that you see is that, you know, even though they are, of course, because
01:39:09.480 we're expanding our footprint as to where we live, they're closer and closer to areas
01:39:13.920 that we inhabit at times.
01:39:15.180 But we're putting them out faster.
01:39:16.580 We're adapting to this.
01:39:17.980 We're, we're, this is what happens over long periods of time.
01:39:21.220 But the circle of grift is there for the Democrats.
01:39:23.500 And they keep doing it over and over again.
01:39:25.380 They say, you know, you got to vote Democrat.
01:39:27.740 Why?
01:39:28.620 Well, climate change.
01:39:29.700 It's out of control.
01:39:30.480 It's a catastrophe.
01:39:31.680 Well, okay, we voted you in.
01:39:33.560 Has it stopped?
01:39:35.100 Well, no, it's even worse than we thought.
01:39:37.340 Well, what do we do about that?
01:39:38.740 We got to do something.
01:39:39.760 What do we do?
01:39:40.240 We got to vote Democrat.
01:39:41.320 Why?
01:39:41.780 Climate change.
01:39:42.800 Has it stopped?
01:39:43.640 No, it's even worse than we thought.
01:39:45.000 Now what?
01:39:45.660 Do something.
01:39:46.300 What do we do?
01:39:47.060 Vote Democrat.
01:39:48.240 Why?
01:39:48.700 Climate change.
01:39:49.480 Has it stopped?
01:39:50.280 No, it's even worse than we thought.
01:39:51.640 And on and on and on and on and on.
01:39:53.920 How does anybody fall for this crap?
01:39:55.840 It's the same circular argument they use with poverty, with ethnicity, percentages of poor
01:40:04.060 people.
01:40:04.620 All of it comes back to that same circular argument.
01:40:07.380 Same thing.
01:40:08.220 Amazing.
01:40:08.520 Because no matter how many times you vote them in, they will say the problem has not
01:40:14.420 stopped and it's worse than we thought.
01:40:16.720 And that's why you really need us.
01:40:18.740 Send us your money.
01:40:19.860 Vote for us.
01:40:20.920 I mean, this is the...
01:40:21.180 Sad thing is it works.
01:40:22.620 It works.
01:40:23.340 It works for them.
01:40:23.840 Especially works in big cities.
01:40:24.800 Yep.
01:40:25.140 Where over and over again, these cities that are just disasters that have been voting in
01:40:31.540 the same people for 70 years.
01:40:34.320 Mm-hmm.
01:40:35.000 A hundred years in some cases.
01:40:37.380 A century without a Republican mayor.
01:40:41.600 And they're like, what's going on?
01:40:43.140 There's a lot of problems here.
01:40:44.480 What do we do?
01:40:45.480 I don't know.
01:40:46.260 I guess we should vote Democrat again.
01:40:48.020 Again, we wouldn't accept this in any other walk of life.
01:40:51.800 Never.
01:40:52.020 If this was a sports team we were talking about, hey, why are they 1-23 every year?
01:40:58.180 I don't know.
01:40:58.880 We better put...
01:40:59.320 The problem's really bad, so we better...
01:41:02.020 Well, it could be because they're punting on a second down every drive.
01:41:05.600 Well, what do we do?
01:41:06.640 Punt earlier.
01:41:08.340 Punt on first down.
01:41:10.060 Would that work for the coach of that team?
01:41:11.940 I don't think so.
01:41:12.480 He'd be fired.
01:41:13.060 I think so.
01:41:13.500 Which is what we need to do for our leader.
01:41:15.000 All right.
01:41:15.560 More coming up in one minute.
01:41:17.000 All right.
01:41:18.020 Let's talk about the Tuttle Twins.
01:41:19.360 They've got a new American history book for kids that's out, and you're going to love
01:41:22.960 it.
01:41:23.340 The Tuttle Twins want to send your family to Boston for a historical vacation you'll never
01:41:27.100 forget.
01:41:28.120 The Tuttle Twins have a mission to help families learn from history, and if we understand the
01:41:31.880 stories and the ideas that made America so special, we'll know how important it is to
01:41:36.360 preserve our freedoms.
01:41:37.980 Most textbooks don't teach these ideas to kids.
01:41:41.320 They just don't.
01:41:42.100 They're never going to do it.
01:41:43.020 You know that.
01:41:43.500 But Tuttle Twins' American history books do.
01:41:45.400 And here's the thing.
01:41:46.000 Your kids are actually going to like these books.
01:41:47.360 It's unlike many of the history books out there.
01:41:50.700 Your kids will actually like the Tuttle Twins books.
01:41:52.920 They'll actually want to read them, and they'll learn things about our history that, man, are
01:41:57.000 incredibly important.
01:41:58.520 Plus, you might go to Boston to check out all the historical sites for a great vacation
01:42:01.940 getaway.

01:42:20.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:42:33.540 You know, we heard in the beginning, you know, we've got these Biden situations that are mostly
01:42:40.660 being ignored by the mainstream media, and meanwhile, they've indicted Donald Trump on seven charges
01:42:48.180 of the Espionage Act, and some of the things that Biden is being accused of right now, and
01:42:55.740 they supposedly have evidence of, you know, they finally got this document that the FBI said
01:43:00.560 didn't exist at first.
01:43:02.180 Yeah, there's no document about, you know, that form that they're talking about trying to get
01:43:05.960 about the whistleblower informing on Biden receiving a $5 million bribe by a foreign agent for maybe
01:43:15.580 policy changes or policy decisions.
01:43:19.980 So, first of all, they don't have any, there is no document like that.
01:43:23.620 It doesn't exist.
01:43:25.180 And Christopher Wray continues to spew that lie for, you know, weeks, if not months.
01:43:30.940 And then finally, okay, yes, it does exist, and we'll let you look at it.
01:43:34.940 But it certainly isn't real.
01:43:38.440 Are we supposed to believe that now?
01:43:40.220 The document was provided by somebody who supposedly is pretty credible as far as being an informant.
01:43:50.500 And now...
01:43:51.640 So, they paid them, right?
01:43:52.980 Yeah.
01:43:53.360 There's a $200,000 payment to this informant.
01:43:56.780 Now, you don't just, they don't willy-nilly...
01:43:58.800 $200,000.
01:44:00.540 It's a lot.
01:44:01.220 Yes.
01:44:01.500 So, they must have bought into it.
01:44:04.420 And it must be accurate.
01:44:06.820 So, after weeks of refusing to even admit it existed, this FD-1023 record, the FBI finally
01:44:13.980 caved in and is now allowing all members of the Oversight and Accountability Committee to
01:44:19.040 review the record.
01:44:21.000 And we'll find out, hopefully soon, what the details on some of this are.
01:44:28.580 But it's been amazing.
01:44:32.340 And thank goodness for Representative Comer to have been, you know, pushing this all this
01:44:37.460 time.
01:44:37.740 He and Marjorie Taylor Greene and other people who are in the Republican Party and are going
01:44:45.020 forward despite the fact that everybody's calling them conspiracy theorists and, you
01:44:50.900 know, they're just trying to persecute this president because it's party bias on and on
01:44:58.400 and on.
01:44:58.980 And yet, they keep going forward.
01:45:00.660 I've been pretty impressed with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:45:02.840 I, you know, wasn't a huge fan at the beginning, but she's done some really good things and
01:45:07.260 has really stuck to this.
01:45:09.000 And she talked about some of the evidence that they have against Biden and the Biden family.
01:45:18.800 One of the things that's being said now is that they've received so much money and there
01:45:23.420 are so many separate bank accounts.
01:45:25.120 It would take them 10 years to track all of it down.
01:45:29.520 That's pretty astounding if that's accurate.
01:45:32.380 Because Biden asked, where's the money?
01:45:34.060 Where's the money?
01:45:35.280 Yes.
01:45:35.740 Where's the money?
01:45:36.520 Well, that's what we're trying to figure out right now.
01:45:38.280 Yeah.
01:45:38.720 But you're asking us where you put the money?
01:45:41.720 Apparently, you put it in so many places that it's going to take them a while.
01:45:45.700 And that's his defense, though.
01:45:46.800 Like, I don't actually have this money.
01:45:48.180 Right?
01:45:48.620 Yeah.
01:45:48.920 Now, of course, he's very, very wealthy.
01:45:50.700 It would be hard to really decipher.
01:45:52.000 You wouldn't necessarily notice it like a person coming from the streets and all of
01:45:55.900 a sudden he's living in a mansion.
01:45:57.040 He already has a lot of money.
01:45:58.600 The fact that he's added to that is not going to be incredibly shocking to anybody.
01:46:02.200 He has three homes, I think.
01:46:04.160 He's got the one in, you know, obviously the main house in Delaware.
01:46:08.580 They've got one on the beach, I think Rehoboth.
01:46:11.340 So he's got that one.
01:46:12.900 And then I think there's a third.
01:46:15.180 But he's got some nice places to live in addition to the White House, which is, you know, it's
01:46:20.760 tough to get by on that crappy place.
01:46:23.180 It's only 53,000 square feet.
01:46:25.700 I don't even know how you do it.
01:46:28.060 That's sad.
01:46:28.460 Well, maybe you can cool the harshness of all of that lack of space with, you know, selling
01:46:36.480 your son selling $750,000 paintings.
01:46:39.220 You know what I mean?
01:46:39.760 Yeah.
01:46:39.940 That'll help.
01:46:40.460 Right.
01:46:40.760 That'll help.
01:46:41.340 A little bit.
01:46:42.000 Yeah.
01:46:42.420 I mean, a little bit.
01:46:43.400 It's not going to take care of the problem entirely.
01:46:45.500 Yeah, of course not.
01:46:46.080 It does help just a bit.
01:46:50.760 Where's the money?
01:46:56.480 Where's the money?
01:46:58.680 The Glenn Back Program.
01:47:01.280 You've heard Glenn say plenty of times that dog food is dead food.
01:47:05.380 Unfortunately, that's true.
01:47:07.200 That's because nutrition isn't brown.
01:47:10.000 Good nutrition is green.
01:47:11.340 The founder of Rough Greens, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, suggested that I remind all
01:47:18.660 of you, as Glenn's listeners, that Rough Greens is not a dog food and not a medicine.
01:47:23.380 It's a blend of live and 100% natural nutrients, which is exactly what your dog needs.
01:47:30.780 It'll get rid of their bad breath.
01:47:32.140 It'll stop their itching and scratching.
01:47:34.060 It improves energy, helps with their shine.
01:47:36.880 So many different things.
01:47:38.140 And Dr. Black is so convinced, I mean really convinced, that this is going to help your
01:47:42.980 dog too, and that your dog will like this food, that he's offering you a free Jump
01:47:47.360 Start trial bag so your dog can try it out first.
01:47:50.340 Now, I don't know of any dogs.
01:47:53.360 Well, I know of one dog.
01:47:54.360 It was Keith's dog, apparently turned up its nose at this.
01:47:58.340 But the only one.
01:47:59.120 My dog won't eat the food without it on there.
01:48:01.540 Stu's dog loves it.
01:48:04.020 Glenn's dog loves it.
01:48:05.600 Get a free Jump Start trial bag to see if yours will love it as well.

01:48:35.220 Glenn.
01:48:35.600 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:48:44.820 888-727-BECK.
01:48:46.700 Apparently there's this kid, 10-year-old kid that people are calling Baby Grunk.
01:48:51.580 Yes.
01:48:52.420 He's sweeping the internet.
01:48:54.940 He's making waves on TikTok.
01:48:57.840 And he's kind of gone viral.
01:49:00.460 I just, I had just heard about him from you, Stu, moments ago, and I looked him up on online.
01:49:07.460 And, uh, it looks like the kid already has multiple tats all over his body at 10.
01:49:13.160 I don't know if they're real tats.
01:49:14.620 Uh, or if they're, you know.
01:49:16.540 Oh, okay.
01:49:17.060 If they're temporary.
01:49:17.800 I don't know.
01:49:18.100 Maybe temporary.
01:49:19.100 I don't know.
01:49:19.620 But it's a fascinating thing for multiple reasons.
01:49:21.340 10 years old.
01:49:21.720 I have an 11-year-old son who's playing, you know, he's a good baseball player.
01:49:25.220 He's got a tournament coming up next week.
01:49:26.420 I'm going to be on vacation going to that.
01:49:28.720 And it's fun.
01:49:29.620 I like, I love watching my kid play sports.
01:49:31.840 Both of them.
01:49:32.560 Yeah.
01:49:32.740 I mean, there's nothing better in life.
01:49:34.660 Nothing better than that.
01:49:34.920 It's fun.
01:49:35.500 There's nothing better.
01:49:36.320 You know, the thing that you love about sports is like, oh, you watched your favorite player
01:49:39.160 hit a home run.
01:49:40.280 Well, like, you know, Zach and Ainsley are my two kids.
01:49:42.960 They're my favorite players by a really big margin.
01:49:45.780 Like, they're my favorite players of all time.
01:49:47.960 Yeah.
01:49:48.160 And I love going to watch them play because, you know, it's just the greatest.
01:49:52.480 I love sports anyway.
01:49:53.480 And this just makes, makes it even better.
01:49:56.060 And so, of course, you cheer your kids on.
01:49:58.520 You do all this.
01:49:59.360 Right.
01:49:59.560 So, baby Gronk is crossing an interesting line.
01:50:01.560 Some, some are saying because basically they're turning him into an internet personality,
01:50:06.400 right?
01:50:07.000 Like they are, he's getting pictures with all these famous people, influencers, celebrities
01:50:11.200 and such.
01:50:11.840 He's visiting colleges.
01:50:12.980 He's 10 years old.
01:50:13.960 He's visiting colleges.
01:50:14.960 I don't think that's even legal according to the NCAA right now.
01:50:19.320 An official visit would be illegal.
01:50:20.920 I mean, going and getting your picture taken with a celebrity there is, is like, he just
01:50:25.580 went to LSU and got his picture taken with Olivia Dunn, who's a big deal right now.
01:50:30.440 Yeah.
01:50:30.700 Yeah.
01:50:30.960 She's a gymnast, I think.
01:50:32.320 Gymnast at LSU.
01:50:33.940 And she's somewhat attractive.
01:50:35.300 Some have noticed that.
01:50:36.660 She has a lot of people who-
01:50:37.620 Somebody has said, I heard-
01:50:38.980 You heard.
01:50:39.620 That she was somewhat attractive.
01:50:40.960 She was in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, this most recent.
01:50:43.960 Oh, she was even in Sports Illustrated.
01:50:45.500 Yeah.
01:50:45.760 She's that big of a deal.
01:50:46.620 She's one of the biggest-
01:50:47.860 What is it?
01:50:48.260 NIL?
01:50:48.840 Pat, you know this better than I do.
01:50:49.820 You follow college stuff more than I do.
01:50:51.400 NIL is like where the college athletes can now get paid, and she's getting paid-
01:50:54.920 For their name, image, and likeness.
01:50:56.620 Right.
01:50:57.060 NIL.
01:50:58.040 And so, she has maybe had more money than anybody.
01:51:03.220 And of course, she's a gymnast, not a normal sport where you'd be getting these huge payouts.
01:51:08.020 But she's getting them because she has a massive social media following.
01:51:11.980 And she's somewhat attractive.
01:51:13.440 Some have said-
01:51:15.200 You can't even say, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue does not guarantee attractiveness at
01:51:18.680 this point.
01:51:19.140 We got to be clear about that.
01:51:20.420 Sure does not.
01:51:20.880 Sometimes, it doesn't even necessarily indicate that it's a woman.
01:51:24.520 Right.
01:51:25.420 Right.
01:51:25.820 We've noticed a couple times here.
01:51:26.980 Some of them have a package.
01:51:28.040 Some of them-
01:51:29.120 Where a package usually isn't with a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.
01:51:34.620 So, no guarantees here.
01:51:36.000 But yes, she's a big, big-time internet influencer type that's posting-
01:51:40.980 She does not have a package.
01:51:42.760 I doubt she does.
01:51:44.000 Yes, I'm going to be- I'm going to doubt that.
01:51:46.020 So, although, if she does, I've got to say I've been fooled.
01:51:52.080 Yeah.
01:51:52.380 You know, she does not look like she does.
01:51:54.080 So, anyway, the situation here is, what's fascinating is building your 10-year-old into
01:52:01.240 an internet celebrity, good idea or bad idea?
01:52:04.980 How appropriate is it?
01:52:06.800 You know, is her- what do they call the moms who push their daughters-
01:52:12.240 Like stage moms?
01:52:13.120 Stage moms.
01:52:13.740 Yeah.
01:52:14.280 Yeah.
01:52:14.640 Stage moms.
01:52:15.700 Is he a field dad?
01:52:18.940 Yeah, it's kind of like a new version of that, I guess.
01:52:20.940 Right?
01:52:21.260 Yeah.
01:52:21.660 Except, obviously, the payoff here is real.
01:52:25.320 I mean, going to these schools, apparently he is a very good athlete.
01:52:28.280 He's from the Dallas area, too.
01:52:29.800 Oh.
01:52:30.040 This kid.
01:52:30.680 Oh.
01:52:31.340 Which is where we happen to be broadcasting from.
01:52:33.860 But his dad is, you know, saying he was a music producer.
01:52:37.280 He was an athlete.
01:52:38.000 He knows all these athletes.
01:52:38.900 He works out with them and he's got all these connections and he's going to promote his son
01:52:45.720 in this way to make him into a celebrity.
01:52:47.560 His argument is basically, you know, look, I think he's a really good athlete.
01:52:52.800 He may make it, but he may not.
01:52:54.420 And I recognize that.
01:52:55.820 What we're trying to do is basically build him something if it doesn't work.
01:52:59.760 This is like the insurance policy.
01:53:02.480 If football doesn't work out for him, he's saying, then he's got something else.
01:53:04.620 He's still a celebrity, he's got something to fall back on, a big social media account
01:53:07.760 that can turn into a lot of money.
01:53:09.420 Yeah.
01:53:09.700 They're saying he's making, you know, low six figures right now.
01:53:12.900 Oh, wow.
01:53:13.380 As a 10-year-old on this.
01:53:14.580 Jeez.
01:53:15.000 His dad says he's putting every dime of it away.
01:53:17.260 You know, again, like you get these, you know, you don't know, of course, but that's
01:53:20.920 what he's saying.
01:53:22.200 He says, you know, a lot of people look at it and like, oh, this man is crazy or he doesn't
01:53:26.120 have real expectations for his son.
01:53:27.620 I do.
01:53:28.200 I say he may not make it.
01:53:29.680 So you may as well have $500,000 or a million dollars to start your life out.
01:53:33.060 He may get a scholarship or free school by playing sports, but sports isn't everything.
01:53:37.300 It goes away.
01:53:38.280 Sometimes it isn't God's plan for you.
01:53:39.980 I tore my ACL.
01:53:41.060 I didn't make it.
01:53:41.840 All I had was a sad story.
01:53:44.340 And so he's like, hey, why not exploit this?
01:53:47.300 Make it into a big thing.
01:53:48.120 So they're posting constantly.
01:53:49.360 They've made him into this figure.
01:53:50.400 He's got all these sponsorships.
01:53:52.100 He's got over 300,000 followers.
01:53:54.640 This is 700,000 now.
01:53:56.640 700,000.
01:53:57.440 Yeah.
01:53:57.880 700,000 followers already.
01:54:00.180 Jeez.
01:54:00.900 That's not bad.
01:54:03.060 Not bad at all.
01:54:03.820 Not bad.
01:54:04.560 It's a lot.
01:54:05.540 Now, I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this particular phenomenon, but there's
01:54:10.160 a phenomenon called the child star phenomenon.
01:54:12.980 Mm-hmm.
01:54:13.900 And we've noted over the years that occasionally kids that get incredibly famous wind up being
01:54:20.920 really terrible adults.
01:54:23.200 I don't know.
01:54:24.340 And I hope, of course, that this is not the case with this particular young guy.
01:54:27.940 He seems like he's a really good kid, actually.
01:54:30.480 Really disciplined.
01:54:32.200 You know, seems really respectful and everything.
01:54:36.280 So this may be, it may not be one of those stories.
01:54:39.760 I hope it's not.
01:54:40.520 But it is risky.
01:54:41.660 And I don't know.
01:54:42.480 Like, I think we've come to that place now where this is so common that everyone wants
01:54:47.700 this fame so much that this isn't really all that controversial.
01:54:53.680 To make your kid into an internet sports celebrity at 10, because I don't care how good he is at
01:54:59.820 football.
01:55:00.120 He would not be an internet celebrity at 10 years old if not for his father posting this
01:55:04.860 stuff on Instagram all the time, as his dad would admit.
01:55:07.340 I mean, his dad seems really excited about what he's been able to accomplish for his kid.
01:55:12.420 It's just a, I don't know.
01:55:14.940 It's a road that I would not want to put my kids on.
01:55:17.760 You know, I don't care how good my kid was at baseball.
01:55:19.880 I would not be wanting, you know, I posted one picture recently of him.
01:55:24.320 He hit his first home run at practice recently.
01:55:27.440 Oh, that's fun.
01:55:28.620 In batting practice.
01:55:29.580 And he's, you know, the first one on his team to hit a home run.
01:55:31.620 Very excited about it.
01:55:32.440 I mean, he was thrilled.
01:55:33.080 And I was so thrilled.
01:55:34.220 Oh.
01:55:34.800 Posted it on social media.
01:55:36.480 Everyone gets to see it.
01:55:37.660 But like, I'm not giving you 900 updates of his day-to-day life.
01:55:41.100 Like, he's got to be able to live as a kid.
01:55:42.940 Whether he becomes the greatest baseball player of all time, or he's just, you know,
01:55:47.100 a normal kid and it's got nothing to do with that.
01:55:49.100 That's, I don't care.
01:55:51.440 Right?
01:55:51.800 Like, I don't care if he winds up being a great athlete or not.
01:55:54.560 I would love it because I like sports.
01:55:57.060 But like, that's not the goal for you as a parent.
01:55:59.600 Right?
01:55:59.780 Like, if your goal is solely sports, you're going to wind up with a kid who has priorities
01:56:06.360 in the wrong direction, probably.
01:56:08.520 Hopefully, that's not the case with this kid.
01:56:10.700 But, you know.
01:56:11.680 I'm reading this headline about him.
01:56:13.580 Who is Baby Gronk?
01:56:15.000 And this is from NBC News.
01:56:17.480 Did Livy, meaning Olivia Dunn, riz him up?
01:56:21.380 Now, I'm unfamiliar with the term riz.
01:56:26.880 What is that?
01:56:27.700 I've heard it recently.
01:56:28.720 It's a new slang term that you're supposed to know.
01:56:31.300 Okay.
01:56:31.780 Apparently.
01:56:33.120 Let me see.
01:56:33.720 I'll give you the definition.
01:56:35.300 Uh-huh.
01:56:36.540 There we go.
01:56:38.360 Okay.
01:56:38.840 Here we go.
01:56:39.840 Riz is a slang term often used to describe someone's ability to flirt and to be charming,
01:56:46.380 especially for their verbal communication while pursuing a romantic interest.
01:56:50.020 So, the question really, then, is whether Olivia Dunn flirted with a 10-year-old?
01:56:56.960 Is that...
01:56:58.040 Sounds like...
01:56:58.920 I mean, are we trying to call Olivia Dunn a pedophile?
01:57:01.300 What are we doing to her?
01:57:03.160 She seems delightful.
01:57:04.480 I don't know why.
01:57:04.940 I guess she does.
01:57:05.960 I guess she said he was cute.
01:57:09.360 Okay.
01:57:09.660 Okay.
01:57:10.340 Hmm.
01:57:11.180 Yeah.
01:57:11.480 Yeah.
01:57:11.820 And I don't think it was a sexual interest.
01:57:13.640 No.
01:57:14.060 Probably not.
01:57:15.280 I mean, honestly, at this point, you know, would we be surprised in this society?
01:57:19.400 I mean, we just had a huge...
01:57:20.740 Oh, almost nothing surprising.
01:57:21.500 I mean, because Olivia Dunn, I think one of her big...
01:57:23.780 She's an Instagram and Snapchat and TikTok and all that stuff.
01:57:28.820 But, like, did you see this story in the Wall Street Journal about the pedophile rings
01:57:32.380 they keep breaking up on Instagram?
01:57:34.500 Where, like, they...
01:57:36.320 Did you read the story, Pat?
01:57:37.300 It's really incredible.
01:57:38.020 They had investigators who went on to Instagram and went through, I mean, some of the most
01:57:46.080 revolting hashtag searches and all this stuff to try to find if they were exploiting children
01:57:53.900 on these websites.
01:57:55.280 And more than any of the other social media sites, they found it there where people weren't
01:58:00.980 posting, you know, child porn on these websites, but they were basically advertising it.
01:58:08.040 Like, they were posting menus of things you could buy.
01:58:13.180 They had...
01:58:13.980 They describe in the story children who seem to be running their own accounts to sell themselves
01:58:21.620 to potential people trying to buy child pornography.
01:58:25.620 All these crazy things.
01:58:26.660 And, like, obviously, totally different than what we're talking about here, thankfully.
01:58:32.260 But, like, there is just this weird...
01:58:35.060 This society is turning in such a strange place.
01:58:38.300 You know, it really is.
01:58:39.600 You know, and I think...
01:58:41.000 I don't know if anybody understands it better than people like yourself, Pat, and me growing
01:58:47.860 up in this stupid industry that we work in.
01:58:50.400 Because, you know, look, radio is...
01:58:53.220 If you're in it, you realize after a short time in it, most of the people are in it.
01:58:56.640 Most of the people involved are insane.
01:58:58.940 Most people who work in this industry are crazy.
01:59:02.500 And I don't know why that is, but I have a couple theories, which largely it's like a
01:59:08.380 lot of people who...
01:59:10.260 Particularly the people who are on the air, and many of them are my friends, and I will
01:59:13.800 tell them this to their face.
01:59:14.980 They're nuts.
01:59:15.860 And one of the reasons they're nuts is they spend most of their life trying to figure out
01:59:21.380 how to be as enticing as possible to others, right?
01:59:25.300 Like, you are constantly trying to say a thing, craft your words in a way that will be most
01:59:31.480 interesting to others.
01:59:33.500 You're constantly trying to impress others.
01:59:36.480 You're looking for their attention.
01:59:37.940 You get a quarterly report or a monthly report of how many people have tuned in to listen to
01:59:44.780 you, and you figure out how many people show up at your events, and you see how many people
01:59:50.240 follow you on social media.
01:59:51.860 And that just...
01:59:52.780 It adds weird incentives into a person's life, right?
01:59:56.260 When that's your job, when your job is essentially constantly striving for popularity, it's difficult
02:00:02.300 to maintain principles.
02:00:03.880 It's difficult to care about things that actually matter, because your job is to get as many people
02:00:09.140 as possible to listen to your stupid voice.
02:00:10.700 So, when we decided as a society one day to unleash this industry of constantly looking
02:00:21.320 for others' approval on the entire world via social media, there have been some negative
02:00:28.540 consequences associated with that decision.
02:00:31.260 And it's something you wind up noticing on a daily basis.
02:00:35.980 Because the incentives that are brought along with running a social media account and running
02:00:41.020 your life to try to maximize likes are not healthy practices.
02:00:46.100 A lot of times, as we see on these services, it's wearing very few articles of clothing, particularly
02:00:53.480 for women.
02:00:54.800 And for men, a lot of times, it seems to be bragging about how much money they have.
02:00:58.280 It seems to be the other trend out there.
02:01:00.620 These things are not healthy pursuits.
02:01:02.740 They're supposed to be thinking of higher foundations than that.
02:01:05.400 And I can understand the temptation, obviously, of there is money in it if you succeed.
02:01:09.780 But man, I don't know.
02:01:11.440 As a dad, how would you feel about that with your kid, Pat?
02:01:14.520 What of your 46 kids?
02:01:17.060 It's 47 now.
02:01:18.160 Oh, it is?
02:01:18.580 Congratulations.
02:01:18.960 I just checked in with my wife.
02:01:20.320 We just had our 47th.
02:01:23.240 888-727-BECK.
02:01:26.980 All right.
02:01:28.480 Jim Rogers, he's the co-founder of one of our favorite management funds, the Soros Management
02:01:33.520 Fund.
02:01:33.880 He says that a bear market is coming and the U.S. dollar's global dominance is under threat.
02:01:38.740 Is the bear market coming?
02:01:39.840 Because I don't know.
02:01:41.120 Maybe Glenn took a vacation and it's his fault.
02:01:44.320 That's probably it, at least.
02:01:45.720 Since their firm is notorious for crashing the pound sterling, you should take heed when
02:01:49.160 Rogers is talking about a currency collapse.
02:01:51.940 Rogers says he's bracing for the biggest market downturn in eight decades and that commodities
02:01:56.280 are the best hedges against inflation.
02:01:58.060 Also, he owns silver and gold currently.
02:02:00.460 You should be extremely worried.
02:02:01.380 He said, if you're not, you need to know what's going on.
02:02:04.140 I think something bad in the currency market is going to happen in the next two or three
02:02:06.860 years.
02:02:07.360 Look, with Glenn out this week, Goldline has decided to extend its popular Memorial Day
02:02:11.460 special through the end of this week.
02:02:13.480 Glenn helped design a quarter ounce gold Mayflower round.
02:02:16.520 It's beautiful.
02:02:17.240 With every tube of 25 acquired, you will also receive 25 ounces of pure silver at no cost.
02:02:23.200 as a thank you for listening to the show.
02:02:25.520 Goldline is 866-GOLDLINE or go to goldline.com, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com to find out more

02:02:42.500 So, Pat, I know you're not, I don't want to demean you, but you're not really one of
02:03:01.480 the people, you know?
02:03:02.560 You're not down to the masses anymore, you know?
02:03:05.660 Okay.
02:03:06.260 I don't think you're with it enough to really understand the way kids talk today.
02:03:10.200 And that's why I want to inform you and maybe a few members of the audience what riz really
02:03:16.260 means.
02:03:16.960 Because I sounded so unhip not knowing what riz was.
02:03:20.080 It was embarrassing, frankly.
02:03:21.340 I'm sorry.
02:03:21.980 And this is what everyone, everyone, I use this word, you know, 50, 75 times a day now.
02:03:26.760 Oh, wow.
02:03:27.180 Oh, yeah.
02:03:27.740 Wow.
02:03:28.120 Ever since I heard about it.
02:03:29.660 You, if you use it that much, you should own it.
02:03:32.400 Right.
02:03:32.760 It should be my property.
02:03:33.500 You should really be paid royalties.
02:03:34.720 That's a good point.
02:03:35.360 When others use the word riz.
02:03:37.040 I like that.
02:03:37.400 And I was like, well, where do I go to find out about this word?
02:03:40.540 Because, you know, as a really just cool guy that I am, I just am in step with the youth
02:03:50.080 of today.
02:03:51.140 And that's why I went to USA Today to read about what riz is.
02:03:55.540 Okay.
02:03:56.040 What does riz mean?
02:03:57.580 Here's the definition of social media slang term and how to use it.
02:04:00.340 Um, riz is a slang term often used to describe someone's ability to flirt and be charming,
02:04:07.360 especially for their verbal communication while pursuing a romantic interest.
02:04:10.960 The term can be used as a noun or a verb depending on the sentence.
02:04:14.220 Now, Pat, let me give you some example sentences of this.
02:04:18.140 Marco just tried to riz up Lena.
02:04:21.720 I don't think it went well.
02:04:24.020 Tried to riz up.
02:04:25.500 Tried to riz up Lena.
02:04:26.700 Yeah.
02:04:26.980 Mm-hmm.
02:04:27.340 Okay.
02:04:27.840 All right.
02:04:28.560 They've got this unspoken riz.
02:04:31.240 Everything about them just exudes charm.
02:04:35.160 And-
02:04:35.980 An unspoken riz.
02:04:37.180 An unspoken riz.
02:04:38.640 Okay.
02:04:38.880 Okay.
02:04:39.760 Another one.
02:04:40.880 I heard him practicing his riz for when he hit the bar later.
02:04:45.540 These are example sentences from USA Today.
02:04:47.980 So, riz can really mean whatever you want it to, apparently.
02:04:52.540 I would say, if I were to classify this back to, you know, as a Gen Xer, I would say it's
02:04:57.400 like how it used to be, he's got game.
02:05:00.580 Uh-huh.
02:05:01.040 It seems to be like what it is.
02:05:02.260 Yeah.
02:05:02.340 Yeah.
02:05:02.520 Like, I have absolutely no game.
02:05:04.460 None at all.
02:05:05.480 And never did.
02:05:07.520 So, I would assume now I have no riz.
02:05:09.760 Mm-hmm.
02:05:10.700 And never have.
02:05:12.620 That's, I think, the way that works, Pat.
02:05:14.500 Okay.
02:05:15.100 Well, we'll work on it during the weekend.
02:05:19.100 And I'll report back to you on Monday.
02:05:21.400 We're going into it.
02:05:22.340 We have a weekend riz camp.
02:05:23.820 And we're going to learn all about it.
02:05:25.820 We're going to a think tank to tell us exactly how to practice riz.
02:05:30.140 How to riz up people that we come in contact with.
02:05:33.100 So, by Monday, we'll be rizzing you like you've never been rizzed before.
02:05:36.180 Yes.
02:05:36.900 Assuming we're using the word wrong.
02:05:38.360 If we're using it, if we're using that right, great.
02:05:40.660 If we're using it wrong, we apologize for whatever we just said.
02:05:42.980 All right.
02:05:44.560 Have a great weekend.
02:05:45.280 See you back here Monday.
