for more information tuttletwinsbeck.com you know there are cynical people who are gonna say this is
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
00:22:32.520
unfortunate part of our country right now the glenn back program
00:22:37.060
so uh pat is here to tell you about uh of course the wonderful product called rough greens rough
00:22:45.500
greens uh pat you you've how many dogs do you have now just the one two uh just the one okay yeah
00:22:50.600

00:22:56.100
and a half is there really yeah i really bought that sense well one bag of rough greens must last you

00:23:12.360
missing here all right sorry yeah yeah uh good nutrition is green it's not brown the founder of
00:23:18.540
rough greens uh naturopathic dr dennis black suggested that we remind all of glenn's listeners
00:23:24.640
about the fact that rough greens is not a dog food it's not a medicine it's a blend of live and 100
00:23:31.180

00:24:29.780
I keep thinking, like, you know, Glenn always goes away when there's this huge story.
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.
00:24:40.680
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.
00:24:57.220
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.
00:25:11.080
You got to pick and choose because there's just not time enough for everything.
00:25:18.740
Hey, Matt, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
00:25:23.020
You guys knew that the Trump story is a distraction story, distracting you from Joe Biden.
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.
00:25:44.320
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.
00:25:55.320
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.
00:26:06.100
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.
00:26:24.940
You can't just say, oh, well, an attack is coming.
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.
00:26:50.300
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.
00:27:13.520
So if you take and distract one from the other, what are we missing on the other side?
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.
00:27:35.160
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.
00:27:44.540
We've done endless coverage, endless on Joe Biden and the accusations against him.
00:27:53.220
He was the most corrupt vice president in American history.
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
00:28:09.220
I mean, I think there is a legitimate comparison here.
00:28:11.060
However, those charges have not come against Joe Biden.
00:28:30.540
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
00:28:46.560
There's going to be a lot of people out there who don't necessarily know about this, people
00:28:52.040
And if we're not if we're not locked and loaded with the information needed to push back
00:28:59.160
So ignoring things that happen is not an option.
00:29:06.760
And it's important to note that these particular charges come solely after Donald Trump was
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
00:29:42.140
Has been discussing the case and the fact that it's a distraction.
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
00:30:11.420
There's a lot of candidates in there that will pick, you know, good Supreme Court justices
00:30:16.300
His his point of differentiation here is that is to say, hey, I was in the middle of this
00:30:21.740
I saw how it worked and I need to be I'm a victim of it and I need to be able to step
00:30:28.440
It's been a while since I've had snotty phone calls.
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.
00:30:56.740
Like they said, oh, these are going to get him in trouble.
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
00:31:22.780
He knew he was supposed to give them back to us.
00:31:25.820
Now, I'm not all that concerned about that, honestly.
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,
00:31:40.240
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,
00:31:48.680
You know, they don't even they're not even alleging that like this is just one of those
00:32:04.500
And he may have held on to this because he thought he wanted the memorabilia.
00:32:14.080
He thought that they proved something that he was going to be accused of later, like
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
00:32:31.820
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
00:32:52.220
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?
00:33:15.120
He was really struggling with whether to call it really good or really bad.
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
00:33:40.760
And yesterday was a really good example of how his mind just doesn't work like you would
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.
00:34:05.560
He's I don't know if that's when the medication wears off.
00:34:15.100
OK, is this the biggest lie Joe Biden has ever told?
00:34:24.780
You notice I have never once, not one single time suggested the Justice Department what they
00:34:33.140
Well, to bring in charge and not bring in charge.
00:34:42.480
So his allegation is I'm not using the Justice Department in a political manner like Donald
00:34:52.200
And we know that Merrick Garland knew about this stuff, even though he denied he knew about
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.
00:35:24.400
You're charging your political opponent, who's the leading candidate in the opposing
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
00:35:47.280
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.
00:36:17.080
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
00:36:32.860
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.
00:36:48.860
This is a company that Glenn started years ago to try to find a good agent after he went
00:36:53.580
through a bad real estate agent experience of his own.
00:36:56.920
And now, thousands and thousands of people go there every day to find the best agent
00:37:06.140
This is something that they're already doing at realestateagentsitrust.com, and it's a free
00:37:10.760
So go to realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
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.
00:37:39.960
In fact, I'm wearing an American Giant sweatshirt right at this moment.
00:37:49.020
My wife, who buys more expensive clothing than I do, she's used to really high-quality
00:37:56.760
And she bought a pair of leggings from American Giant and just absolutely loves them.
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.
00:38:14.820
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.
00:38:26.940
American Giant is changing that one piece of clothing at a time, and you're going to
00:38:31.360
They make the best hoodie you're ever going to wear and high-quality clothing for both
00:38:36.000
It's a perfect Father's Day gift made with American cotton, American workers, and American
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.
00:38:47.680
Buy American today at American-Giant.com slash Glenn.
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
00:39:25.080
They just wake up and have to have that Pac-Ray Unleashed fix.
00:39:31.140
And so you can check out whatever website you get your podcast on and get it there.
00:39:40.640
It airs at 8 p.m. on Blaze TV, but you can get it on podcast whenever you want.
00:39:45.680
Also, we'll point out, Pat, we have our new campaign shirt out.
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.
00:40:00.320
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
00:40:13.180
I mean, if those are the only two choices, maybe I would go, Marianne.
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.
00:40:38.780
But RFK Jr. is a guy who has gotten some notice and a lot of credit from people on the right.
00:40:46.760
And so it might do us some good to go over some of his actual policy positions that you
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.
00:41:08.140
But if we can find something we agree with you on, we're happy to talk to you about that
00:41:15.600
We might disagree with you on a bunch of other things, but we're open-minded to talk
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.
00:41:36.140
Even though you know it's coming, you know, it's 18 years is a really long time.
00:41:40.480
But his last years were a lot of enjoyment of Rough Greens, you know, and like, you see
00:41:51.860
But also, it's one of those things where you see their energy improves and they seem to
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,
00:42:02.820
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
00:42:42.260
We've got to stand together, it's the course of life.
00:42:51.080
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:09.480
With Pat and Stu, poor Glenn, who's on vacation this week.
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.
00:43:51.900
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.
00:43:59.220
I couldn't use my right hand because it was so swollen with arthritis.
00:44:04.460
But I woke up this morning and my right hand isn't even swollen, let alone painful.
00:44:09.660
I'm amazed at this wonderful product, Rough Greens.
00:44:18.420
Yeah, that'd be like that horse paste thing that people were using.
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.
00:44:38.580
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
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.
00:45:11.500
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.
00:46:49.660
I think most people on the right have this sense of, look, the Biden administration will do whatever they can to destroy Donald Trump.
00:46:57.000
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.
00:47:13.900
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?
00:47:38.280
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.
00:48:18.880
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.
00:48:31.180
It didn't seem to have any credibility whatsoever.
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.
00:48:51.580
It reminds me of people who say, well, I don't care if they're watching everything I do.
00:48:58.440
Yeah, you're not the one who decides what you're doing is wrong or right.
00:49:05.120
And just like we're not the ones who decide whether or not Donald Trump goes to jail.
00:49:11.920
You know, they want to keep him out of office so badly.
00:49:17.840
You think they'd stop at some some some precedent setting, you know, jail time?
00:49:24.340
They'll do whatever they can to destroy this guy.
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.
00:49:37.200
They're in the middle of going through with it right now.
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.
00:50:01.720
One of the things Trump has said over and over again is I can I'm the president of the United
00:50:07.580
I can declassify them even by thinking about them.
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.
00:50:29.700
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.
00:50:42.580
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
00:51:12.520
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
00:51:25.120
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.
00:51:31.580
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.
00:52:26.760
And he says this, Milley said that I wanted to attack Iran.
00:52:37.380
So he apparently at this point is showing to his biographers, not autobiographers, biographers,
00:52:50.240
This is off the record, but they presented me with this.
00:53:10.560
But he's only said it like 30 times in one paragraph.
00:53:18.460
And this is, you know, you know how Trump speaks.
00:53:21.100
So he's basically saying Milley's the guy who wanted to invade Iran, not me.
00:53:26.560
That's basically what he's saying here to his biographers.
00:53:36.300
This totally wins my case, you know, except it's like highly confidential, 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.
00:54:15.220
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.
00:54:28.280
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.
00:54:50.080
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.
00:55:22.680
And the fact that he was trying to make this document look more important to his biographer
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.
00:55:50.600
But the fact that he says it was a top secret document does not mean much, honestly.
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.
00:56:11.040
Like the fact that his defense is, I thought about it when I was president and that meant they're declassified.
00:56:19.020
It's just showing how much power he has as president, which is true.
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.
00:57:09.200
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.
00:57:31.600
And you can understand this is not him selling it to Iran.
00:57:35.800
It's not him trying to win some contract with somebody and giving this to them as a bribe.
00:57:45.780
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.
00:58:17.780
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.
00:58:29.440
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?
00:58:51.020
And it'll make your kids different than other kids.
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.
00:59:21.900
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.
00:59:36.920
And you can get entry info to their vacation giveaway, all the official rules and all that stuff, all the legalistic stuff.
00:59:49.120
Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com for more information.
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.
01:01:13.980
He shows his racism on a regular basis and it's completely ignored every time.
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?
01:01:43.360
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.
01:01:55.920
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.
01:02:20.560
Yeah, it's not a racially based joke that he thought would be funny even though he didn't believe it.
01:02:27.780
So then, Biden forgets Sunak's title yesterday and can't come up with Winston Churchill's name.
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.
01:03:09.780
He can't come up with Winston Churchill's name there.
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.
01:03:28.860
And you'd think, like, every once in a while, he can speak normally.
01:03:33.520
The fact that he can't seem to project his voice at all.
01:03:40.480
I mean, I can barely even hear him in these clips.
01:03:45.600
We've got more to come on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu coming up.
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.
01:04:11.960
When veterans who have served our country end up living on the streets, who reaches out
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
01:04:46.720
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes to
01:04:55.080
Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes.
01:04:58.720
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

There's an interesting new Gallup poll out for about the last, I don't know, 10 or 15
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
01:05:58.960
You wouldn't think so because it's the liberals and their policies that we're always being
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.
01:06:21.760
You know, they're unemployed and they got nothing to do but write something on a sign and go out
01:06:28.200
But according to this latest values and beliefs survey done by Gallup, 40% of Americans identify
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
01:07:02.800
I think there's a lot of Democrats who consider themselves conservative Democrats, right?
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
01:07:29.480
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
01:07:41.240
Can you picture who the liberal Republican is who would, again, self-identifies as a liberal
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.
01:07:55.080
There's a lot of Joe Manchin types out there that will say, I'm a conservative Democrat,
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.
01:08:17.300
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.
01:08:32.280
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?
01:09:02.460
Because if it doesn't turn out that way, we're in really, really deep trouble.
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
01:09:25.360
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.
01:09:35.520
Now, I think, unfortunately, when you vote for the even moderate, what you think is a
01:09:44.880
Look at the difference in voting between the moderate Democrat and AOC.
01:09:51.660
When you're talking about people who are in office, those people vote in lockstep on the
01:09:58.280
You can find a real difference between, you know, Lindsey Graham and some Freedom Caucus
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.
01:10:22.380
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
01:10:37.800
is one of those sort of conservative Democrats, that he's more moderate, that he's in the middle.
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.
01:11:00.500
He has been really good at that, which is, you know, I don't know, odd in some ways, I
01:11:05.000
I wouldn't normally place that on his platform.
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
01:11:24.060
And we want to talk to him and we want to praise them.
01:11:28.500
Every once in a while, he shows some real common sense.
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
01:11:53.940
Do you support increasing taxes for the rich in order to reduce interest rates for student
01:12:00.300
Uh, do you favor teaching critical race theory in our public schools?
01:12:11.100
Should there be more climate regulations in the United States?
01:12:16.700
Should the federal government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?
01:12:30.980
He would not be a good candidate at all right now.
01:12:38.820
Are you in favor of building a wall on the southern border?
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.
01:12:54.740
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.
01:13:04.720
Because he, he is consistent on, like, for example, the anti-war aspect of the Democratic Party that has been in existence forever.
01:13:14.040
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.
01:13:21.940
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.
01:13:33.240
And, and, and, but remember, that, that has always been largely a movement on the left.
01:13:43.080
Has been for a long time the voice of, of this movement.
01:13:48.160
You know, Jim Carrey, when he was married to, uh, to, uh, or Jenny McCarthy.
01:13:54.480
I, I, I mentioned this article a while ago because it was hilarious.
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.
01:14:15.160
And almost every single one of them was a left-wing figure.
01:14:24.800
One guy on the right who was listed as one of these top 10 faces of the anti-vax movement.
01:14:40.100
I was going to say Donald Trump, and yet, he's responsible for warp speed.
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.
01:15:01.340
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.
01:15:17.200
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.
01:15:36.280
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?
01:16:03.500
Oh, how about hydraulic fracking, which really saved this country when everybody else was going into recessions?
01:16:13.880
Would you increase or decrease military spending?
01:16:21.440
How about renewable, endless energy from nuclear energy?
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.
01:17:07.240
Because, you know, we all knew the climate thing was a big part of the RFK situation.
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?
01:17:32.940
He actually did say, too, he wishes there was a law by which you could punish these people.
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.
01:17:51.460
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?
01:18:06.620
Do I love the chaos he's bringing to that primary?
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.
01:18:18.360
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.
01:18:34.500
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.
01:18:44.400
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.
01:19:00.480
But does he grant the same sort of benefit of the doubt to people who deny that climate change is catastrophic?
01:19:10.060
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.
01:19:22.420
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.
01:19:40.060
By the way, you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
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.
01:20:01.980
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.
01:20:08.160
Anyway, it seems like not that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was the same as the dinner table.
01:20:14.200
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.
01:20:28.100

01:21:41.960
Something that has never happened before, a women's softball team won.
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.
01:21:59.960
Won their third straight softball championship.
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.
01:22:13.820
We've got the Father's Day box, which includes this.
01:22:29.280
Comes with all kinds of really delicious cookies.
01:22:33.020
And if you order now, it's guaranteed delivery by Father's Day.
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.
01:23:02.520
I can't think of a pro-life Democrat right now.
01:23:06.700
Yeah, I can't think of one off the top of my head.
01:23:12.520
I mean, we saw this in the last, in 2000, what was it, 2020.
01:23:19.580
They said you can't be in the party if you're pro-life.
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.
01:23:38.760
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.
01:24:07.820
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.
01:24:29.580
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.
01:24:47.160
My whole closet is going to be American Giant before too long, because it's the highest quality stuff.

01:24:55.500

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:26:14.780
Man, would he have come in handy a few days ago, before all these Canadian wildfires started.
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.
01:26:48.700
You know, if you have a car and it doesn't get around all that well, maybe it's a little bit,
01:26:53.220
it's a little shaky, you're a little worried about it.
01:26:55.020
Maybe it's in perfect shape and you don't know what's coming around the corner.
01:26:59.780

We're filling in for Glenn this week and happy to be doing it.
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.
01:28:24.200
Janice Dean on Fox News said Harrisburg had the worst air quality ever in American history.
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?
01:28:50.900
You can't see anything in half of these places.
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,
01:29:22.740
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
01:29:33.640
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.
01:30:04.300
We must live life like normal, livable future people!
01:30:15.220
Now, I love that phrase, and I want to keep using it.
01:30:19.980
We must live like normal, livable future people.
01:30:24.060
People ignored it, because I'm not a female screaming in Times Square.
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.
01:31:10.660
You know, it's easy to sit here and mock them for calling themselves normal, livable future
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
01:31:55.760
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
01:32:10.100
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
01:32:34.900
Um, let's see, the Guardian, Canada's wildfires are part of our new climate reality, experts
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.
01:33:05.980
So you look at the pictures, and they're pretty dramatic, right?
01:33:09.540
And it is, it is understandable that people would ask questions when, you know, the whole
01:33:16.000
Um, but this happened back in, with the Australia situation back in 2019, 2020.
01:33:23.120
The historical burn levels are down dramatically since, uh, really since the 1960s when it comes
01:33:33.360
And you think, okay, well, this is the time that global warming was supposed to be kicking
01:33:37.540
We were told that, you know, it was unprecedented in 2020, in 2019, 2020, the amount of burn
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
01:34:12.780
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.
01:34:39.320
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.
01:34:51.060
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.
01:35:08.480
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%.
01:35:40.240
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.
01:35:58.020
I mean, you can't, okay, you can't get any, are you, is that the best stat you have?
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,
01:36:16.460
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.
01:36:29.680
I didn't this year because it was just so compelling.
01:36:33.220
Well, I don't, I'm going to bore you with this quote.
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
01:37:00.400
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
01:37:13.640
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
01:37:27.440
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.
01:38:12.300
Our perceptions of these fires are obviously, with all the coverage, we see them more, we
01:38:20.660
Sometimes they get closer to our buildings, likely because we build more buildings.
01:38:27.720
We go into these areas that used to burn regularly.
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
01:38:49.880
And, you know, the central part of this is fires are down.
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
01:39:17.980
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.
01:39:55.840
It's the same circular argument they use with poverty, with ethnicity, percentages of poor
01:40:04.620
All of it comes back to that same circular argument.
01:40:08.520
Because no matter how many times you vote them in, they will say the problem has not
01:40:25.140
Where over and over again, these cities that are just disasters that have been voting in
01:40:48.020
Again, we wouldn't accept this in any other walk of life.
01:40:52.020
If this was a sports team we were talking about, hey, why are they 1-23 every year?
01:41:02.020
Well, it could be because they're punting on a second down every drive.
01:41:19.360
They've got a new American history book for kids that's out, and you're going to love
01:41:23.340
The Tuttle Twins want to send your family to Boston for a historical vacation you'll never
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
01:41:37.980
Most textbooks don't teach these ideas to kids.
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
01:41:58.520
Plus, you might go to Boston to check out all the historical sites for a great vacation

Get entry info and official rules for the vacation giveaway.
01:42:17.160
For more information on the Tuttle Twins, 10 seconds.
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
01:43:02.180
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
01:43:19.980
So, first of all, they don't have any, there is no document like that.
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.
01:43:40.220
The document was provided by somebody who supposedly is pretty credible as far as being an informant.
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
01:44:21.000
And we'll find out, hopefully soon, what the details on some of this are.
01:44:32.340
And thank goodness for Representative Comer to have been, you know, pushing this all this
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
01:45:00.660
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
01:45:09.000
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
01:45:25.120
It would take them 10 years to track all of it down.
01:45:36.520
Well, that's what we're trying to figure out right now.
01:45:41.720
Apparently, you put it in so many places that it's going to take them a while.
01:45:52.000
You wouldn't necessarily notice it like a person coming from the streets and all of
01:45:58.600
The fact that he's added to that is not going to be incredibly shocking to anybody.
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.
01:46:15.180
But he's got some nice places to live in addition to the White House, which is, you know, it's
01:46:28.460
Well, maybe you can cool the harshness of all of that lack of space with, you know, selling
01:46:43.400
It's not going to take care of the problem entirely.
01:47:01.280
You've heard Glenn say plenty of times that dog food is dead food.
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.
01:47:38.140
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.
01:47:54.360
It was Keith's dog, apparently turned up its nose at this.
01:48:05.600
Get a free Jump Start trial bag to see if yours will love it as well.
01:48:10.020
All you have to do is pick up the shipping on it.
01:48:14.380
And it's BlazeTV.com slash Glenn to subscribe to Blaze TV.
01:48:18.380
You can save 10 bucks with the promo code Glenn.
01:48:46.700
Apparently there's this kid, 10-year-old kid that people are calling Baby Grunk.
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.
01:49:19.620
But it's a fascinating thing for multiple reasons.
01:49:21.720
I have an 11-year-old son who's playing, you know, he's a good baseball player.
01:49:36.320
You know, the thing that you love about sports is like, oh, you watched your favorite player
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.
01:49:48.160
And I love going to watch them play because, you know, it's just the greatest.
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,
01:50:07.000
Like they are, he's getting pictures with all these famous people, influencers, celebrities
01:50:14.960
I don't think that's even legal according to the NCAA right now.
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.
01:50:40.960
She was in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, this most recent.
01:50:51.400
NIL is like where the college athletes can now get paid, and she's getting paid-
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.
01:51:15.200
You can't even say, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue does not guarantee attractiveness at
01:51:20.880
Sometimes, it doesn't even necessarily indicate that it's a woman.
01:51:29.120
Where a package usually isn't with a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.
01:51:36.000
But yes, she's a big, big-time internet influencer type that's posting-
01:51:46.020
So, although, if she does, I've got to say I've been fooled.
01:51:54.080
So, anyway, the situation here is, what's fascinating is building your 10-year-old into
01:52:06.800
You know, is her- what do they call the moms who push their daughters-
01:52:18.940
Yeah, it's kind of like a new version of that, I guess.
01:52:25.320
I mean, going to these schools, apparently he is a very good athlete.
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.
01:52:38.900
He works out with them and he's got all these connections and he's going to promote his son
01:52:47.560
His argument is basically, you know, look, I think he's a really good athlete.
01:52:55.820
What we're trying to do is basically build him something if it doesn't work.
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
01:53:09.700
They're saying he's making, you know, low six figures right now.
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
01:53:22.200
He says, you know, a lot of people look at it and like, oh, this man is crazy or he doesn't
01:53:29.680
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.
01:54:05.540
Now, I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this particular phenomenon, but there's
01:54:13.900
And we've noted over the years that occasionally kids that get incredibly famous wind up being
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.
01:54:32.200
You know, seems really respectful and everything.
01:54:36.280
So this may be, it may not be one of those stories.
01:54:42.480
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
01:55:00.120
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.
01:55:14.940
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.
01:55:29.580
And he's, you know, the first one on his team to hit a home run.
01:55:37.660
But like, I'm not giving you 900 updates of his day-to-day life.
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.
01:55:51.800
Like, I don't care if he winds up being a great athlete or not.
01:55:57.060
But like, that's not the goal for you as a parent.
01:55:59.780
Like, if your goal is solely sports, you're going to wind up with a kid who has priorities
01:56:28.720
It's a new slang term that you're supposed to know.
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?
01:56:58.920
I mean, are we trying to call Olivia Dunn a pedophile?
01:57:15.280
I mean, honestly, at this point, you know, would we be surprised in this society?
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
01:57:38.020
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
01:57:55.280
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.
01:58:13.980
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.
01:58:26.660
And, like, obviously, totally different than what we're talking about here, thankfully.
01:58:35.060
This society is turning in such a strange place.
01:58:41.000
I don't know if anybody understands it better than people like yourself, Pat, and me growing
01:58:53.220
If you're in it, you realize after a short time in it, most of the people are in it.
01:58:58.940
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
01:59:10.260
Particularly the people who are on the air, and many of them are my friends, and I will
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
01:59:37.940
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
01:59:52.780
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
02:00:03.880
It's difficult to care about things that actually matter, because your job is to get as many people
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
02:00:31.260
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
02:00:54.800
And for men, a lot of times, it seems to be bragging about how much money they have.
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.
02:01:11.440
As a dad, how would you feel about that with your kid, Pat?
02:01:28.480
Jim Rogers, he's the co-founder of one of our favorite management funds, the Soros Management
02:01:33.880
He says that a bear market is coming and the U.S. dollar's global dominance is under threat.
02:01:41.120
Maybe Glenn took a vacation and it's his fault.
02:01:45.720
Since their firm is notorious for crashing the pound sterling, you should take heed when
02:01:51.940
Rogers says he's bracing for the biggest market downturn in eight decades and that commodities
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
02:02:07.360
Look, with Glenn out this week, Goldline has decided to extend its popular Memorial Day
02:02:13.480
Glenn helped design a quarter ounce gold Mayflower round.
02:02:17.240
With every tube of 25 acquired, you will also receive 25 ounces of pure silver at no cost.

So, Pat, I know you're not, I don't want to demean you, but you're not really one of
02:03:02.560
You're not down to the masses anymore, you know?
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
02:03:16.960
Because I sounded so unhip not knowing what riz was.
02:03:21.980
And this is what everyone, everyone, I use this word, you know, 50, 75 times a day now.
02:03:29.660
You, if you use it that much, you should own it.
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
02:03:51.140
And that's why I went to USA Today to read about what riz is.
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.
02:04:40.880
I heard him practicing his riz for when he hit the bar later.
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
02:05:25.820
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.
02:05:38.360
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.
