The Glenn Beck Program - Japan’s Assassination Proves You Can’t Legislate Away Evil

00:00:00.000 There's something about a family business, something where people start something with

00:00:04.480 a real passion for it and want to make sure that they serve their customers and make their

00:00:10.520 lives a little bit better.

00:00:11.800 And that's what American Financing has been doing for a long, long time now.

00:00:15.420 I've worked with American Financing before.

00:00:17.780 They helped me go through a couple of different mortgages and refinances.

00:00:22.140 And it's important to kind of go through this with someone that you actually know you can

00:00:27.000 trust, someone who knows what they're doing when the home loan situation is in your life.

00:00:33.360 It really is a huge focus of yours.

00:00:35.340 And as you see these interest rates going up, up, up, up, up, it's time to get this thing

00:00:39.520 locked in before, you know, who knows what's going to happen with these rates in the future.

00:00:43.580 Make sure to go to AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:00:47.100 They've been around for a very long time.

00:00:48.660 Glenn has been working with them for, gosh, a couple of decades now.

00:00:51.360 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

00:00:57.280 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:21.360 We've got no room to compromise.

00:01:26.100 We've got to stand together, it's going to survive.

00:01:32.280 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:01:37.540 It's a new day, our time to rise.

00:01:43.920 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:48.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:58.420 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

00:02:03.720 Glenn's back on Monday.

00:02:07.580 Wow.

00:02:09.680 Really huge day for world leaders.

00:02:13.740 Japan's former leader has been assassinated.

00:02:20.040 We'll get into that, details on that, and much more coming up in about 60 seconds.

00:02:26.340 Stand up.

00:02:27.260 American Financing.

00:02:28.180 NMLS 1-82334.

00:02:30.040 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:02:33.380 A new report shows that almost 71% of Americans feel their paychecks are not going to be able to keep up with inflation.

00:02:39.200 Not just to be able to get ahead, but to just keep up.

00:02:42.840 We all know where this is coming from.

00:02:44.300 The people supposedly fighting inflation are the same ones giving it to us in the first place.

00:02:48.860 You have a responsibility to yourself and your family to do what you can to get ahead, while it's still possible to get ahead.

00:02:56.220 This is where American Financing comes in.

00:02:58.020 This time, American Financing is there with power to maybe help you, unlike some of the banks.

00:03:04.880 Flexible mortgage returns and terms, cash-out refinancing, even debt consolidation.

00:03:11.360 Please call them.

00:03:13.320 They don't work for the banks.

00:03:14.760 They work for you.

00:03:16.020 American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:03:19.840 800-906-2440.

00:03:22.240 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:03:28.020 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:36.340 888-727-BECK.

00:03:38.560 Real tragedy in Japan today as their former prime minister, Abe, was just assassinated.

00:03:48.720 And by somebody who was, I guess, dissatisfied with his policies, he's not even enacting them anymore.

00:03:58.200 Very strange.

00:03:59.300 There's some back and forth about that.

00:04:01.440 Apparently, the assassin is denying that.

00:04:04.680 He seems to be potentially very crazy.

00:04:07.760 Okay.

00:04:08.500 So he's not dissatisfied with his policies.

00:04:10.700 No, big fan.

00:04:11.460 He's fine with them.

00:04:11.980 No, no, I didn't say that.

00:04:13.520 But he did say, I think, there were recent reports that he said to police that he didn't mean to shoot him.

00:04:19.560 What?

00:04:20.180 Yeah, he was actually trying to kill somebody else who, we should point out, was not there.

00:04:24.860 Okay.

00:04:25.260 So, I think...

00:04:26.800 That is very weird.

00:04:27.660 I think dismissing what this person is saying at this point is probably the wise way to go.

00:04:31.840 Former Navy veteran in Japan, and he killed him with a homemade gun.

00:04:38.240 Yeah.

00:04:38.580 It looked like two pipes on a plank.

00:04:41.280 Yeah.

00:04:42.420 Which is crazy.

00:04:43.640 Yeah.

00:04:44.000 It's crazy.

00:04:44.980 Yeah.

00:04:45.280 It just shows you that no matter what you do, you can't legislate this stuff out of existence.

00:04:53.020 Now, I've never really looked into Japan's gun laws.

00:04:55.680 I'm assuming they're sort of strict.

00:04:58.260 I could walk you through it.

00:04:59.680 Okay.

00:05:00.000 Would you like to purchase a gun in Japan, sir?

00:05:03.960 Yes, I would.

00:05:04.780 You would.

00:05:05.140 Okay.

00:05:05.280 Just a couple steps for you.

00:05:06.240 Okay.

00:05:06.620 Okay.

00:05:06.840 Now, I've never been there, nor will I probably ever go, but I'd still like to buy a gun there.

00:05:11.400 This is a really suspicious that you want to buy a gun there.

00:05:13.720 It is, isn't it?

00:05:14.500 Yes.

00:05:14.940 Yeah.

00:05:15.120 You might want to tag me.

00:05:16.600 Do a little red flag sort of thing.

00:05:18.560 Yeah.

00:05:18.820 Right.

00:05:18.980 Because I have a person who has never been to Japan, is not planning to go to Japan, but

00:05:23.260 wants to buy a gun in Japan.

00:05:25.020 And this seems suspicious.

00:05:26.900 It does.

00:05:27.260 It does.

00:05:27.760 Yeah.

00:05:27.960 Okay.

00:05:28.200 So, I've red flagged you.

00:05:29.340 Okay.

00:05:29.680 Here's the process, though.

00:05:30.700 Are you ready for it?

00:05:31.280 Yes, I am.

00:05:31.820 Okay.

00:05:32.080 Step one.

00:05:33.400 Take a firearm class.

00:05:36.120 Not that big of a deal.

00:05:37.100 You can do that.

00:05:37.540 How long is it?

00:05:38.220 How long is a firearm class?

00:05:38.960 I don't know.

00:05:39.440 I don't know.

00:05:40.220 All right.

00:05:40.760 There's more to this.

00:05:42.220 You have to also pass a written exam.

00:05:45.060 Okay.

00:05:45.380 From the firearm class?

00:05:46.680 Yes.

00:05:46.860 So, I better pay attention to what I'm learning in the class.

00:05:49.120 You can't just blow it off.

00:05:50.320 I can't just sit there and pretend like I'm listening.

00:05:53.040 I really need to listen.

00:05:54.820 And step 1C, I guess this would be, it's going to be held three times a year.

00:06:01.060 So, you're going to be taking this test three times a year.

00:06:06.420 For how long?

00:06:08.100 Like every year?

00:06:08.880 Forever.

00:06:10.180 Like the rest of my life.

00:06:11.440 You're taking a test three times a year.

00:06:14.460 Okay.

00:06:14.680 Now, that seems inconvenient for me.

00:06:16.920 I am going to have to request something else, though.

00:06:19.020 It's not just that.

00:06:19.660 Oh, okay.

00:06:20.520 I'm going to have to ask you, Pat, to also get a doctor's note saying that you are mentally

00:06:24.240 fit and do not have a history of drug abuse.

00:06:27.860 Now, this is the end of the road for you.

00:06:29.780 Obviously, you're a huge drug abuser.

00:06:31.840 Huge drug addict.

00:06:32.560 Yeah.

00:06:33.660 Coke, nose candy.

00:06:34.920 But you could probably find a doctor that would go along with your story.

00:06:37.540 Possibly.

00:06:38.060 Possibly.

00:06:38.500 Okay.

00:06:38.700 So, let's just say you could.

00:06:39.840 Okay.

00:06:40.180 Okay.

00:06:40.800 There's more, though, to the process.

00:06:41.940 I don't know if there's a Japanese doctor who would find me mentally competent, but let's

00:06:47.380 just go with it and say that I defined somebody.

00:06:49.700 My guess is Jeffy has a connection.

00:06:51.320 I don't know how.

00:06:52.200 All right.

00:06:52.340 But he probably knows a doctor in Japan that relies for you.

00:06:56.000 So, that's just step two.

00:06:58.280 Step three, you have to apply for a permit to take firing training, which may take up

00:07:04.380 to about a month.

00:07:06.300 Huh.

00:07:06.660 And I'm just sure if that's the firing training that takes a month or the permit that takes

00:07:10.340 a month, but it's going to take a little bit of time for you to get that step done.

00:07:13.800 All right.

00:07:13.980 But that's not too arduous so far, right?

00:07:15.660 You got to test three times a month or three times a year.

00:07:18.180 Right.

00:07:18.420 You have to get a doctor's note and you have to just apply for a permit to take the firing

00:07:23.220 training, which may take a month.

00:07:24.740 There's also, you have to describe in a police interview why you need a gun.

00:07:29.940 So, what if I just need it for safety?

00:07:32.380 I'm trying to protect myself.

00:07:33.720 I mean, I don't know.

00:07:34.520 Is that not good enough?

00:07:35.320 It is not good enough.

00:07:37.100 In fact, generally speaking, unless you go through this entire process, they're not going

00:07:41.620 to give you a gun.

00:07:42.300 You might be able to get one to hunt or something like that, but you have to go through this

00:07:45.960 whole process and it's a bit arduous, as you can see.

00:07:49.360 You also have to pass a review of your criminal history, your gun possession record, employment,

00:07:55.220 involvement with organized crime groups.

00:07:57.360 This one's going to be a little iffy for you because I know you have some serious involvement

00:08:00.140 in that area.

00:08:01.000 Hugely tied into criminal elements.

00:08:04.400 Yes.

00:08:04.540 They have to review...

00:08:05.660 Especially in Japan.

00:08:08.320 Yes.

00:08:08.840 It's true.

00:08:09.340 You also have to get past a review of your personal debt.

00:08:13.200 Oh.

00:08:14.400 You have to pass a review of your relationships with friends.

00:08:18.680 Okay.

00:08:19.600 Your relationship with your family and your relationship with neighbors.

00:08:24.720 How well do you get along with your neighbors?

00:08:26.440 I know you get really along well with your HOA.

00:08:31.320 Oh, I do.

00:08:32.180 Yeah.

00:08:32.480 Love them.

00:08:33.040 I love them to dance.

00:08:33.260 They are big fans of yours.

00:08:34.900 I mean, with the exception of that time you left the garbage out.

00:08:38.040 Yes.

00:08:38.500 For three hours.

00:08:39.620 Past the deadline.

00:08:40.440 Past the deadline.

00:08:40.960 Past the deadline.

00:08:41.740 Yeah.

00:08:41.940 So, I mean, you would not be getting a gun in Japan.

00:08:43.900 No, I would not.

00:08:44.200 Because of the garbage incident.

00:08:45.560 Okay.

00:08:46.460 So, but we'll see.

00:08:48.020 Then you have to apply for a gunpowder permit.

00:08:51.500 Like a gunpowder permit?

00:08:53.340 Yeah, totally different permit, Pat.

00:08:54.940 You need a gunpowder permit.

00:08:57.460 Okay.

00:08:57.740 Then you have to take a one-day training class and pass a firing test.

00:09:04.580 So, and then you have to obtain a certificate from a gun dealer describing the gun that you want.

00:09:14.020 Okay.

00:09:14.220 Not, again, this is not that bad so far.

00:09:16.480 No, so far it seems really convenient.

00:09:18.860 So, that's not too bad.

00:09:19.640 Oh, yeah.

00:09:20.220 Then you have to, if you want a gun for hunting, you have to apply for a hunting license.

00:09:24.980 Now, this is pretty much the only way they're going to grant you a license.

00:09:27.920 So, you do have to get the hunting license.

00:09:30.480 All right.

00:09:31.820 Then you have to buy a gun safe.

00:09:35.680 Then you have to buy an ammunition locker, both of which have to meet safety regulations.

00:09:42.400 But you're doing well so far.

00:09:44.920 There is no way anybody has a gun in Japan.

00:09:48.620 Then.

00:09:49.180 Wow.

00:09:49.620 You have to allow the police to inspect your gun storage.

00:09:52.740 So, police come over to your house and, I mean.

00:09:55.100 Okay.

00:09:55.520 Imagine.

00:09:55.880 And inspect it all.

00:09:57.280 Then.

00:09:57.780 Then.

00:09:58.380 I get my gun.

00:09:59.640 I get my AR-15 and I can do what I want with it.

00:10:02.600 Definitely not.

00:10:03.480 No.

00:10:03.880 Definitely not.

00:10:04.680 Huh.

00:10:05.060 Then you have to pass an additional background review of some sort.

00:10:10.120 Finally, you get to buy your gun.

00:10:11.700 Now, again, it's only going to be a gun that you're going to be able to use for hunting, essentially.

00:10:15.840 Wow.

00:10:16.080 But that is the process in Japan.

00:10:18.580 And you see this and you think, okay, well, that has to stop something like this from happening.

00:10:25.580 If laws can possibly stop this from happening, those laws would stop this from happening.

00:10:32.860 And yet.

00:10:33.480 Instead, he makes a homemade gun.

00:10:35.520 And he doesn't go through any of the process.

00:10:38.020 I didn't outline this, but I'm almost positive ghost guns are illegal in Japan.

00:10:44.260 So, yeah, I mean, now, look, people will point out.

00:10:48.400 And by the way, the media is doing everything they can to make you know that gun crime is rare in Japan.

00:10:54.800 And that's true.

00:10:55.660 It is very rare in Japan.

00:10:57.800 They don't really allow guns for any reason.

00:11:01.280 And so it is very rare.

00:11:02.720 Of course, you know, they have a much higher suicide rate than us because it's not about the gun, right?

00:11:08.920 You know, they have almost no guns in the country and their suicide rate is higher than ours.

00:11:14.480 So it's not about the gun.

00:11:16.060 But you do see this terrible thing going on with Shinzo Abe, the guy who made the gun out of, as you point out, a couple of pipes and a plank.

00:11:27.680 Now, I don't know.

00:11:28.640 Can you ban pipes?

00:11:29.800 Can you ban planks?

00:11:32.420 Would that do anything for this problem?

00:11:34.580 It's hard to imagine.

00:11:35.480 I don't know how you could make this any more strict.

00:11:38.000 You should at least have to take a pipe class three times a year and then pass the pipe class test.

00:11:43.800 Just the three times a year?

00:11:45.000 Yeah, just three times.

00:11:46.160 Maybe six.

00:11:47.120 Maybe we up it a little bit for pipes.

00:11:49.120 So you think double it on the pipes?

00:11:50.800 I think so.

00:11:51.380 Well, he had two pipes.

00:11:52.400 Okay, yeah.

00:11:53.580 I mean, it really is fascinating to watch that.

00:11:55.980 I mean, there's nothing.

00:11:56.800 You just realize, at some level, we all do this.

00:12:02.300 We must just trust other people we don't know to not be insane, to not be violent, to not be crazy.

00:12:10.340 I think of this example often, in that you're driving down the street.

00:12:18.320 You are driving 50 miles an hour on the right-hand side of the road.

00:12:23.560 On the left-hand side of the road, a car approaches you, also going 50 miles an hour.

00:12:27.600 In between you is a double yellow line.

00:12:30.820 Your entire life is in the hands of this person that you will never even see driving at you 50 miles an hour,

00:12:42.080 that they don't just swerve into you as you get close.

00:12:46.060 You are just sitting here, just trusting the goodwill of a complete stranger

00:12:50.460 and the deterrent power of a double yellow line to protect your life.

00:12:57.140 And we do this every day, and we all pretty much survive it.

00:13:01.240 And that is really the best defense against this.

00:13:03.920 That is really all you can do.

00:13:05.200 When evil decides evil is going to act, it is really, really difficult to stop it.

00:13:10.280 You know, you just have to realize that it does exist.

00:13:13.560 You can do everything you can to stop it.

00:13:15.600 But I mean, this is a guy who's the former prime minister of the country,

00:13:18.900 the guy who held the office longer than anyone else in history.

00:13:23.080 Yeah.

00:13:23.900 A very...

00:13:24.920 Nine years.

00:13:25.460 A very prominent figure making a campaign speech.

00:13:28.900 And some guy just walks up behind him and shoots him in the back a couple times.

00:13:33.280 Yeah.

00:13:33.900 Incredible.

00:13:34.640 Really, really bad.

00:13:35.820 In front of hundreds of people and tons of cell phones.

00:13:39.800 There's all sorts of disturbing video and still images of all the stuff going on.

00:13:46.500 And right in the middle of broad daylight, Pat.

00:13:48.400 Yeah.

00:13:48.660 It's interesting because there doesn't seem to be a heck of a lot of security around him.

00:13:55.720 No.

00:13:56.480 There were only, I think, a few guys.

00:13:58.760 Now, the guy was immediately tackled after he shot Abe.

00:14:02.460 But I think the point of security is to try to get to somebody before they shoot.

00:14:09.220 But, you know, you're just, you're not expecting somebody with a homemade gun.

00:14:14.880 Two pipes and a plank.

00:14:16.380 And being able to fire that and kill the former prime minister.

00:14:19.300 Just amazing.

00:14:20.680 But I did wonder, you know, why don't they have more security around the guy when he's out in public, right out in the open, making a speech, a campaign speech?

00:14:31.780 It's pretty weird.

00:14:33.280 Pretty strange.

00:14:34.200 I don't know.

00:14:34.600 I guess at that point you're just depending on your gun laws.

00:14:38.780 Yeah, you are.

00:14:39.280 You're just saying, well, we don't need security because we banned guns.

00:14:42.720 It didn't work out all that well in this case.

00:14:44.540 No, it didn't.

00:14:45.240 You know, there's not much you can do now.

00:14:50.220 But, I mean, you can look at this and say, hey, you know, any world, I'm like, I mean, and this just seems like obvious common sense.

00:14:56.580 Any world leader should have security around them when they're making speeches in public.

00:15:01.180 You can't tell what's going to happen.

00:15:02.960 There's a million ways someone can do something crazy.

00:15:05.560 And we went through that, obviously, terrible period where this was commonplace.

00:15:10.180 I mean, this was happening all the time here with major world leaders in the 60s and all the way up to really Reagan, where this stuff happened often to major public figures.

00:15:21.420 And that's one of the things we've talked about when it comes to these mass shootings.

00:15:25.920 Societies and cultures seem to select these crimes of spectacle.

00:15:30.840 Whatever the, for right now, for us, it's these mass shootings, right?

00:15:34.520 It's not the biggest crime problem we have in this country by any means.

00:15:38.520 It's a small, small slice of the gun violence and total violence and total crime in this country.

00:15:44.500 But, like, there's this very small group of people who think fame and notoriety and infamy will come to them from doing these types of things.

00:15:56.260 And it's hard to know right now what happened in Japan, if that's the beginning of this or whatever.

00:16:01.960 But if you look back at our history, we went through a period where that was the crime of spectacle, right?

00:16:07.100 There was always somebody who, there was threats on public, major public figures' lives over and over and over and over again, many of them successful.

00:16:15.640 Yeah.

00:16:16.160 I mean, the 60s were awful.

00:16:18.160 So bad.

00:16:18.960 For assassinations.

00:16:19.840 Yeah.

00:16:20.020 You think about that decade with JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King.

00:16:25.700 I mean, it just happened over and over and over again.

00:16:28.900 And it's really hard to prevent everything like that.

00:16:35.680 All of these shootings and protect everybody who needs protection.

00:16:42.660 It's impossible.

00:16:43.580 It's really impossible to completely safeguard our society.

00:16:48.480 And even in a place, as you just went through, with the restrictions on guns like they have in Japan, you still can't safeguard everybody?

00:16:57.680 That tells you a lot.

00:16:59.580 888-727-BECK.

00:17:01.780 More in 60 seconds.

00:17:02.740 Life is about being active.

00:17:08.060 Whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising, you know you're well when you're regularly active.

00:17:14.960 But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day?

00:17:18.480 This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago.

00:17:21.600 Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for, was held captive to almost constant nagging pain.

00:17:29.640 When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance.

00:17:34.260 Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking it ever since.

00:17:39.740 And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back.

00:17:43.400 I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors.

00:17:46.300 And about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:17:49.420 Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start for only $19.95.

00:17:55.800 Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:18:00.060 800-4-RELIEF or ReliefFactor.com.

00:18:03.180 Find out all about this offer and feel the difference.

00:18:16.420 It's Pat and Stu on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:19.900 Pat, I have a question for you for just some legal process here.

00:18:23.900 What should happen to the guy who assassinated Shinzo Abe?

00:18:29.960 What's the appropriate punishment?

00:18:31.680 Does he go to jail for a while?

00:18:33.840 Until you execute him, yeah.

00:18:36.440 What if he just stays in jail for the rest of his life?

00:18:40.500 Would you be okay with that?

00:18:41.720 Let me give you another option.

00:18:42.720 All right.

00:18:43.160 Let me give you another option.

00:18:43.960 What if he goes, he kind of goes away for a while,

00:18:46.200 and then we give him his full release and he's walking around doing interviews

00:18:49.620 with the media, talking about his life.

00:18:54.160 What about that option?

00:18:56.180 I wouldn't be in favor of that option.

00:18:58.280 Is that a bad option?

00:18:59.140 It seems like a bad option to me, yeah.

00:19:01.240 Why am I seeing John Hinckley doing interviews with the media?

00:19:06.340 Why is he in a full release, walking around, could be at your restaurant,

00:19:12.300 could be at your grocery store?

00:19:14.780 Why is that happening?

00:19:16.240 Could be in concert in your neighborhood.

00:19:18.060 Could be in concert.

00:19:18.680 He's doing a freaking tour.

00:19:19.860 Yeah.

00:19:20.760 Now, they say he's reformed.

00:19:23.540 They say he's healed.

00:19:25.420 He says he's still taking his meds,

00:19:27.680 so maybe he won't assassinate another president anytime soon.

00:19:31.060 But why the hell is this happening?

00:19:33.820 If you shoot the president of the United States,

00:19:38.060 is there no line where we just say,

00:19:40.160 nah, you're not walking around anymore, really under any circumstance?

00:19:44.360 Is there any crime?

00:19:46.220 I mean, it's inconceivable that this has happened with him.

00:19:50.540 It really is.

00:19:51.400 And we forget how close Ronald Reagan was to death.

00:19:54.620 Oh, very close.

00:19:55.440 I mean, initially, I don't think the American people knew how serious it was

00:19:59.340 because they kind of blew it off.

00:20:00.280 Hey, he's fine.

00:20:01.340 He's going to be all right.

00:20:02.160 He's going to have a full recovery.

00:20:04.320 Well, yeah, that wasn't always the case.

00:20:06.160 They were very afraid that he wasn't going to make it at first.

00:20:10.680 And so it's just by the grace of God that John Hinckley didn't kill him.

00:20:18.000 He sure tried, and he almost succeeded.

00:20:20.480 And so, yes, he should be in prison the rest of his life.

00:20:23.260 I don't understand how he's out now walking around.

00:20:26.240 I just don't get it.

00:20:26.980 And it's a guy who is trying to do this to impress Jodie Foster?

00:20:32.200 I mean, what a weird...

00:20:34.980 You're ever going to let that guy go?

00:20:37.440 And one of the restrictions on his release was,

00:20:41.080 you've got to stay away from Jodie Foster.

00:20:43.980 What is Jodie Foster thinking on this?

00:20:46.060 You have to stay away from Jodie Foster.

00:20:48.800 I think that's good advice,

00:20:50.060 but I don't know that necessarily I would trust this guy.

00:20:53.020 I would not.

00:20:54.380 I know I necessarily would not trust him.

00:20:57.240 Mental health is a difficult thing.

00:21:00.100 Sure is.

00:21:00.500 It's a difficult nut to crack.

00:21:02.300 And to prove that he's healed,

00:21:04.740 that's virtually impossible.

00:21:06.500 He doesn't...

00:21:07.060 How about this?

00:21:07.760 He doesn't even have to take his meds, he says.

00:21:10.700 He does, because he wants to just be careful.

00:21:14.420 But he doesn't have to take him now.

00:21:15.900 He doesn't need him anymore.

00:21:16.860 Didn't he also come out as a gun control advocate?

00:21:19.620 Oh, yeah.

00:21:20.060 Yes, he did.

00:21:20.620 So that's good.

00:21:21.320 Of course.

00:21:21.760 We've got him on that side.

00:21:22.740 So the journalists love him now.

00:21:24.420 Well, you shoot the right president, I guess.

00:21:25.440 The journalists are fine interviewing you.

00:21:29.300 If you say the gun control thing, I guess it's fine.

00:21:31.880 But I mean, it's an absolute disgrace.

00:21:35.240 It is.

00:21:35.840 How on earth are we standing for this?

00:21:38.920 This guy, you know, he's out there talking to the media,

00:21:44.620 going on tour, living his life after...

00:21:47.800 And remember, it wasn't just Reagan.

00:21:50.540 It was Brady and it was, you know...

00:21:52.840 This guy did a lot of damage.

00:21:55.340 Yeah.

00:21:55.580 Oh, yeah.

00:21:56.420 And he's just out there...

00:21:57.820 And by the way, in the interview, he's like,

00:21:59.440 you know what?

00:21:59.760 Actually, I actually kind of liked Ronald Reagan.

00:22:01.560 I wasn't against Reagan.

00:22:03.820 I liked Reagan.

00:22:04.720 What?

00:22:05.500 Yeah.

00:22:05.740 So you shoot the people you like.

00:22:08.840 Yeah.

00:22:09.740 Okay.

00:22:10.160 Because they couldn't make him look like a left-wing nutjob.

00:22:12.080 They had to make him look like a right-wing guy.

00:22:14.700 They're like, oh, you assassinated the president,

00:22:16.300 but you were still right-wing, right, sir?

00:22:18.460 Yes, I swear.

00:22:19.780 And give me some gun control, please.

00:22:21.920 And, you know, it's interesting because back in 1981,

00:22:24.000 I don't think we even knew if he was right or left,

00:22:27.340 or I don't think anybody even asked.

00:22:29.120 It wasn't a big...

00:22:29.620 We just knew he was a nutjob.

00:22:30.700 Yeah, you knew he was a nutjob.

00:22:31.260 That's a new thing that we have to determine their political ideology.

00:22:35.760 Yes, that is true.

00:22:36.360 That's true.

00:22:42.700 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:46.180 These days, you use your personal information to do just about everything,

00:22:50.220 especially when you're online.

00:22:51.560 But with all that information just floating out there,

00:22:54.480 it can make the internet a practical goldmine for identity thieves.

00:22:58.760 Actually, that's not fair to gold miners.

00:23:01.540 Mining is actually hard work.

00:23:03.360 Stealing your identity is dangerously easy.

00:23:07.280 It's also incredibly costly and terribly frustrating if you get hacked.

00:23:53.020 More Glenn Beck next.

00:24:16.160 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program,

00:24:19.300 888-727-BECK.

00:24:22.280 You forget that Shinzo Abe left a pretty towering,

00:24:28.700 as it's described here in this article,

00:24:30.480 a towering legacy.

00:24:33.000 They think that he's really the most significant leader in Japan post-war.

00:24:39.560 A hawkish conservative economic reformer

00:24:42.940 who dragged the country out of decades of stagnant economic growth

00:24:47.260 and made it a power player on the world stage again.

00:24:52.000 And so that's who Japan and the world lost today.

00:24:56.160 One of his big priorities was getting closer to the United States.

00:24:59.580 He believed that that was smart for them to do,

00:25:02.460 to bolster their defense.

00:25:04.300 Trump said they were very good friends.

00:25:05.720 Yeah.

00:25:06.280 They were.

00:25:06.900 They were.

00:25:07.520 They seemed to be tight.

00:25:08.440 He was one of the world leaders that was not overtly critical of Trump.

00:25:12.940 He also took China seriously.

00:25:16.440 It was a big part of that.

00:25:17.520 You know, Japan had been sort of deferential to,

00:25:22.300 sort of took a position post-war of,

00:25:26.780 we're not bad guys, don't we?

00:25:28.320 You know, we're not a threat.

00:25:29.220 We're just going to hang back here.

00:25:30.660 And he was one of the first prime ministers there to say,

00:25:33.920 you know, sure, we're not a threat,

00:25:36.680 but like we also need to have defenses.

00:25:38.960 We need to have good relationships with those who do have defenses.

00:25:43.540 We need to take China seriously as, you know,

00:25:46.560 we've seen what they've done in the past and they could do it again.

00:25:49.780 Right.

00:25:50.220 And, you know, that is, that's a big part of his legacy.

00:25:52.940 And he's very well regarded there.

00:25:55.300 I mean, it's, and he's only 67, Pat.

00:25:58.220 You know, I think because he left office and he left office for health reasons in 2020,

00:26:01.780 people kind of think, oh, you know, he was, you know, at the end of his life.

00:26:06.080 You know, he was 67.

00:26:07.380 He's still running around the country campaigning for various people that he knew and supported.

00:26:16.180 And, you know, had a long life of influence ahead of him.

00:26:20.900 Yeah.

00:26:21.420 And just see that happen.

00:26:22.240 I mean, really, it's bizarre because you see pictures of Abe making this speech.

00:26:27.980 You can see the guy just standing there behind him.

00:26:30.700 No security back there at all.

00:26:32.480 He's just standing there.

00:26:33.840 And he's got the homemade weapon just slung around his shoulder.

00:26:38.180 And in a bag of some sort, it was like a messenger bag type of situation.

00:26:43.560 Right.

00:26:44.500 And it just, it doesn't look like much, but they say that.

00:26:49.260 And when you see the video, you hear the sound of it.

00:26:52.680 And it did sound like a bazooka.

00:26:54.360 Yeah.

00:26:54.600 It sounded like a cannon or a bazooka going on.

00:26:56.920 It's no handgun.

00:26:57.660 No, that was a very powerful weapon.

00:26:59.920 It was also described as a shotgun at one point.

00:27:02.140 I think because they believe, you know, sort of that's the shrapnel kind of hit in a very

00:27:09.280 wide pattern and really, I mean, did so much damage.

00:27:13.000 There was no hope.

00:27:13.940 I mean, they were, they were describing it as he was in cardiac arrest.

00:27:16.860 And I've seen some people say that that's not a great translation.

00:27:19.120 It was more like he has no vital signs almost immediately.

00:27:23.400 It didn't last.

00:27:24.340 He did not last long after that.

00:27:26.380 And now the shooter, the assassin, says it wasn't political.

00:27:30.500 At first they said he didn't like his policies or something.

00:27:33.240 And now there's some contention about that.

00:27:36.560 Yeah.

00:27:36.960 That he was there for a religious leader who wasn't even there.

00:27:39.740 That is one of the reports that's out there.

00:27:41.760 The police have basically paraphrased some of the things this guy is saying.

00:27:46.680 What does that mean though?

00:27:47.740 Right.

00:27:47.820 What does it mean when you're getting the words of an assassin moments after?

00:27:52.840 Yeah.

00:27:52.980 You know, we just don't know.

00:27:54.540 I guess if, I guess if it was a politically motivated group looking to take responsibility,

00:27:59.520 maybe, you know, they're going to be honest about it.

00:28:03.060 But we don't know at this point if, you know, it's hard to know if you could actually believe

00:28:08.280 anything they're saying.

00:28:09.300 Supposedly this guy is saying.

00:28:10.700 It wasn't, no, I didn't even mean to shoot him.

00:28:12.760 I meant to, I meant to assassinate some religious leader who wasn't even on the premises.

00:28:19.440 Like, so I think at this point could be that he's saying, you know, that he actually is

00:28:24.540 just completely nuts.

00:28:25.700 Could be that he's trying to give you the impression that he's completely nuts.

00:28:30.600 Could be he's just does not have very good eyesight.

00:28:35.500 I don't know.

00:28:36.100 I don't know what it could be.

00:28:37.180 I will say the one thing you could say about the guy, and this is important.

00:28:41.240 He was wearing a mask when this was going on.

00:28:44.040 He was protecting himself and others because Pat, you wear your mask to protect others.

00:28:50.020 Yes.

00:28:50.240 Okay.

00:28:50.800 Correct.

00:28:51.080 And he was protecting others from COVID-19 at the time of the assassination.

00:28:55.760 And that's important.

00:28:56.600 You know, he was outside.

00:28:57.940 So would you call him a hero?

00:28:59.240 You almost would call him a hero.

00:29:01.040 I don't know if I'd go exactly that far.

00:29:04.940 Unbelievable.

00:29:06.140 You can almost believe the media would be like, well, you know, yes, he did that, but

00:29:09.820 he was also saving lives as he was wearing his mask outdoors.

00:29:15.160 I could see that on CNN.

00:29:17.320 We should note, by the way, no cases of COVID-19 have been documented outside of close conversation

00:29:24.420 outdoors in the entire pandemic.

00:29:27.040 So when you are seeing people outside with masks on, it's important to note that, by the

00:29:33.160 way, according to the New York Times, there have been literally zero cases globally that

00:29:40.840 have been documented outside of close conversation when it comes to outdoor transmission of COVID-19.

00:29:46.440 I will also say, Stu, that he doesn't seem to be wearing his mask properly in one of these

00:29:53.860 photos.

00:29:54.440 It looks like the mask is below his nose.

00:29:57.180 You should have known you can't trust the guy.

00:29:58.620 Yeah, you can't trust the guy.

00:29:59.560 He should have been brought down at that point.

00:30:02.020 Where's your N95, you know, at this point?

00:30:04.980 It seems to be a normal surgical mask.

00:30:06.720 It is amazing when you look at these photos, everybody's got a mask on.

00:30:09.220 Everybody.

00:30:10.180 So they're still doing that in Japan, obviously.

00:30:12.520 It's just a thing that you wear a mask no matter where you go, no matter what you're doing.

00:30:16.880 Yeah, it does seem that.

00:30:17.580 I mean, of course, that was part of the culture, not to that extent, but part of the culture

00:30:21.200 before.

00:30:22.060 Before.

00:30:22.620 I mean, I remember whenever you'd be on an airplane, like pre-2020, you're on an airplane,

00:30:27.980 someone's wearing a mask, you could guarantee they're from Asia.

00:30:31.340 Like they live in Asia or they currently live in Asia because, you know, and obviously

00:30:35.640 they had the SARS outbreak there.

00:30:37.820 They've had several of these things that happened before.

00:30:40.680 And so it became part of the culture long before it did here.

00:30:44.320 But, you know, it's still going on there.

00:30:46.540 I mean, China is, by the way, Pat, currently in the middle of shutting down a bunch of cities

00:30:50.540 again because they have a couple hundred cases of COVID.

00:30:55.220 Jeez.

00:30:55.500 Which every time they do that, yes, it makes the lives of people in China miserable, but

00:31:00.340 it also affects our economy and our supply lines.

00:31:04.500 Right.

00:31:05.420 Every time they do this, this idiotic idea that you can keep COVID at zero.

00:31:10.620 They're the only country on earth trying to do this right now.

00:31:12.980 Well, they have a zero policy.

00:31:14.360 I should say, with the exception of Turkmenistan.

00:31:15.360 A zero COVID policy.

00:31:16.800 So.

00:31:17.000 Yeah.

00:31:17.720 Turkmenistan is also doing this.

00:31:20.320 And they have the distinction of having no cases since the beginning of COVID.

00:31:24.320 never had a case in Turkmenistan.

00:31:27.020 Oh, wow.

00:31:27.380 Their policies, they're the only ones that are doing it right.

00:31:30.140 Huh.

00:31:30.300 You know, it's working there.

00:31:31.840 Now, some would say maybe their government is denying the reality of the situation, but

00:31:35.760 no, no.

00:31:36.660 Huh.

00:31:37.620 But no, they just actually have no cases whatsoever since the beginning of the pandemic.

00:31:41.660 Wow.

00:31:42.100 That is, that's impressive.

00:31:44.260 It's pretty impressive.

00:31:45.180 We should all learn from Turkmenistan.

00:31:47.400 Yeah.

00:31:47.940 I think that's what we should do is we should just say there are no cases.

00:31:50.940 And then you have no cases.

00:31:52.260 That's essentially their approach.

00:31:54.260 And I don't know, maybe we should, we should adopt that.

00:31:57.060 Oh, man.

00:31:57.600 Probably not the best idea.

00:31:58.960 But this is just an incredible thing to watch because, you know, of course, it is in broad

00:32:02.520 daylight in public with people watching the speech.

00:32:05.160 So, there's all sorts of footage, much of it very disturbing.

00:32:09.420 There's footage of the actual shot going off, of him falling, you know, of the aftermath,

00:32:16.260 of the tackling of the assassin, of him, of Abe being, you know, taken off in a helicopter

00:32:25.720 from a rooftop.

00:32:26.500 I mean, it's all, it's all documented.

00:32:30.460 This is, this is the age, right?

00:32:31.800 You see, now it's, you see all of this stuff happen when it happens.

00:32:35.300 And it's, of course, all out there on social media, really disturbing stuff.

00:32:39.500 And, you know, you're right, Pat, when you describe it almost like a cannon.

00:32:43.140 I mean, this guy was former military.

00:32:45.760 I obviously knew a lot, apparently, about how to build these things.

00:32:50.260 Yeah, because this isn't the only one he built.

00:32:51.540 Yeah.

00:32:51.860 He built a bunch of handguns, too, that they found at his home.

00:32:54.300 They've already been, obviously, to his residence, and they found a ton of handmade,

00:33:00.840 homemade handguns and other explosives that they all, they took out and destroyed.

00:33:06.740 But the guy was pretty proficient at building these weapons, apparently.

00:33:11.300 So, yeah, he knew what he was doing, and he was planning for something, for some reason.

00:33:17.420 I don't know if it's political.

00:33:18.780 I don't know if it's religious.

00:33:20.040 I don't know if he's just a whack job.

00:33:22.460 That's my assumption.

00:33:23.480 But he was well-prepared to do some damage.

00:33:27.840 It's really awful.

00:33:29.540 You see, this stuff is really difficult to stop.

00:33:32.520 I mean, there was a, it was in Japan, I believe, years ago now, that they, wasn't it in Japan

00:33:38.220 where they did the chemical attacks of the subways?

00:33:41.100 Yeah.

00:33:41.380 That one religious group.

00:33:42.380 And, you know, again, like, you have no guns in your community.

00:33:48.940 But, you know, they filled literal garbage bags with, like, sarin casks, wasn't it?

00:33:54.500 And they went into a subway and just released it all.

00:33:56.840 And it was a terrible, terrible attack.

00:33:59.440 You know, you just, we had a biological attack here in the United States in the Northwest years ago with a questionable sort of cultish group that they, you know, put all sorts of, you know, essentially biological attack.

00:34:17.280 They put, was it salmonella or what it was, in a buffet.

00:34:22.520 And buffet is a ground town.

00:34:24.300 Oh, yeah.

00:34:24.960 Remember that?

00:34:25.540 Yeah.

00:34:25.900 Yeah.

00:34:26.260 They made it, eventually turned into a Netflix documentary.

00:34:28.580 But it's, like, the only biological attack, or the first, certainly, that happened.

00:34:33.000 Did it kill anybody?

00:34:33.600 I can't remember if anybody died from that.

00:34:35.360 I think it did, but I can't.

00:34:36.640 It's been a while since I've looked into it.

00:34:38.800 But, like, you just realize that, like, when you have people who are dedicated enough and determined enough to do something terrible, it's very difficult to live in a free society.

00:34:49.560 Yeah.

00:34:49.840 Or, honestly, even in a locked-down society, it's difficult.

00:34:53.340 But in a free society, it's almost impossible to eliminate this stuff.

00:34:57.360 You just have to be realistic that you are fragile at some level.

00:35:01.440 And certain things are going to happen.

00:35:02.800 Certain things are going to happen.

00:35:04.260 You can't safety-proof the entire society.

00:35:06.300 No.

00:35:06.440 It's just, it's impossible to do it.

00:35:08.140 You learn this as a parent.

00:35:10.100 Right.

00:35:10.600 I mean, I can't tell you how much time I spent looking at corners of tables, trying to figure out how to make sure my toddlers didn't fall into them.

00:35:19.540 Mm-hmm.

00:35:20.500 And you spent, you're constantly thinking about it.

00:35:23.120 And then my son was on, this is when he was, gosh, one or two, on the couch and fell off the couch, rolled off the couch and landed on one of his Matchbox cars.

00:35:34.720 Oh.

00:35:35.120 Which almost, almost blinded him.

00:35:38.640 I mean, I legitimately, I remember going to the hospital.

00:35:41.300 He had to go to the hospital.

00:35:42.340 And I remember looking at him being like, I cannot believe that did not hit his, I mean, it hit right above his eye, like on his, you know, like in between the bone there and the eye.

00:35:52.660 Like that space that's kind of soft in between, that's where it hit.

00:35:55.740 Oh, wow.

00:35:56.120 And I remember being like, this kid almost, I mean, he almost blinded his eye.

00:36:00.280 Yeah, I mean, almost lost his eye.

00:36:01.600 Yeah.

00:36:01.760 And again, he, it was nothing at all that could have possibly been prevented.

00:36:07.740 Everything around the house, we were basically living in an inflatable house at that point.

00:36:13.640 Everything was protected all the time.

00:36:15.540 And still, this stuff happens.

00:36:18.120 It's just, you have to realize that life is fragile at some point.

00:36:22.320 And you don't control the outcome all the time.

00:36:24.520 And it sucks.

00:36:25.820 You'd like to be able to, but you, as much as the media will act as if there are common sense, easy solutions to these problems, everywhere else is able to stop it.

00:36:36.120 Why can't we?

00:36:37.040 It's just not true.

00:36:39.020 It's not true.

00:36:40.580 888-727-BECK.

00:36:42.420 More Pat and Stu for Glenn coming up.

00:36:44.020 Stand up!

00:36:44.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:59.180 Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed.

00:37:03.100 He's a completely different dog.

00:37:04.920 I hear from people all the time in the audience.

00:37:07.860 I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog.

00:37:12.600 They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show.

00:37:14.300 They get some for themselves.

00:37:15.720 And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.

00:37:19.900 And it's really good for them.

00:37:21.080 It's not a dog food.

00:37:22.000 It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.

00:37:26.540 Your dog needs these things to be healthy.

00:37:29.340 My dog was easy.

00:37:30.340 From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.

00:37:33.400 Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.

00:37:36.200 Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.

00:37:40.120 He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.

00:37:42.360 So right now, he's got a special gift available.

00:37:44.500 You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.

00:37:48.860 All you pay is shipping.

00:37:50.040 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.

00:37:55.140 Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.

00:37:59.160 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:14.000 888-727-BECK.

00:38:16.480 James Kahn.

00:38:17.800 We lost him.

00:38:19.640 We lost him.

00:38:20.700 82 years old.

00:38:22.700 And everybody makes a big deal out of the fact that he was in The Godfather.

00:38:26.280 Yes.

00:38:26.820 Yes, he was.

00:38:27.420 And The Godfather is great.

00:38:29.160 But he was also in Brian's song.

00:38:31.560 Okay.

00:38:32.400 Not as many people bring that up in the coverage that I've heard.

00:38:35.400 No, they don't.

00:38:36.480 No.

00:38:36.800 Because I don't know why either.

00:38:38.780 He was brilliant in Brian's song as Brian Piccolo, the best friend of Gail Sayers of the

00:38:45.300 Chicago Bears.

00:38:47.680 And it's, you know, I watched that movie again a few years ago, maybe five or six years ago

00:38:54.400 for the first time in probably since I was 10.

00:38:56.620 And it didn't hold up quite as well as I remembered it.

00:39:00.080 It never does.

00:39:01.400 Never does.

00:39:02.680 I mean, as a 10-year-old, I remembered that being one of the greatest movies of all time.

00:39:06.860 As, you know, older than 10, as an adult, it was a little bit cheesy.

00:39:12.500 We should also point out Elf.

00:39:15.620 Elf.

00:39:16.100 He was great in Elf.

00:39:16.980 He was great in Elf.

00:39:17.860 One of the greatest Christmas movies of all time.

00:39:20.660 Yes.

00:39:21.340 And really the last classic Christmas movie, right?

00:39:25.260 That I can think of, yeah.

00:39:26.500 Has there been a more recent one that has come close to that level?

00:39:30.080 I don't think so.

00:39:31.380 You know, we had a bunch.

00:39:32.320 We had a bunch in the 80s.

00:39:33.300 We had A Christmas Story, A Christmas Vacation.

00:39:35.600 Again, you may or may not like those movies specifically, but...

00:39:37.960 And then the 90s was Santa Claus and Santa Claus 2 and 3.

00:39:40.740 Yeah, the Santa Claus stuff.

00:39:42.300 But...

00:39:42.820 And Elf was, what, early 2000s?

00:39:44.880 I think 2003-ish.

00:39:47.220 And then since then, we're like, ah, we're done with the Christmas movies.

00:39:49.380 We have enough of them.

00:39:50.880 Well, and they're just not good usually.

00:39:52.960 You know, they've come out with new ones.

00:39:54.540 No, they have.

00:39:55.180 They have.

00:39:55.420 They're just not good.

00:39:56.740 I mean, Hallmark comes out with 47 every single Christmas.

00:39:59.980 Yes, they do.

00:40:00.440 And again, they're just not good.

00:40:02.640 No.

00:40:03.120 Well, let's not say that.

00:40:04.720 I mean, some of them are fantastic.

00:40:06.300 Okay.

00:40:06.860 One of my favorite things around Christmas to do, and we've talked about this before,

00:40:09.900 is watching those movies on Lifetime and or Hallmark.

00:40:14.180 Yes.

00:40:14.420 And just, just, you can watch those movies and within 30 seconds know the entire plot.

00:40:21.380 Oh, for sure.

00:40:22.180 It's incredible.

00:40:23.120 Some guys...

00:40:23.420 Because it's the same every time.

00:40:24.460 Yeah, some guy's in a suit walking down the street.

00:40:26.660 He looks like a business guy.

00:40:28.120 He's obviously going to be the guy that ends up with the first woman you see.

00:40:31.560 Yes.

00:40:31.920 Which is usually Candace Cameron Bure.

00:40:34.720 And she is usually also the business...

00:40:40.020 It's usually the woman who's the business person in a lot of these movies.

00:40:42.660 Yeah, a lot of times.

00:40:43.280 Candace Cameron Bure, she's a very highly accomplished woman.

00:40:45.740 She doesn't have time for this traditional stuff.

00:40:47.680 But she's in her small town where she's from after having worked in New York for a long time.

00:40:54.460 And she made a lot of money, but now she's back in her hometown.

00:40:56.620 She's back because, just for the weekend.

00:40:58.500 Yeah, right.

00:40:59.020 No big deal.

00:41:00.060 Bumps into a whole high school sweetheart who is, he says, not doing anything with his life.

00:41:04.240 He's still in the same hometown.

00:41:05.740 No.

00:41:06.100 And she already has a jerky boyfriend.

00:41:07.800 Yeah.

00:41:08.120 So she's got no room in her life for a new man.

00:41:10.700 And yet, somehow, she winds up with the guy from high school.

00:41:14.060 It's amazing.

00:41:15.220 Every time.

00:41:15.740 It happens every single time.

00:41:18.340 All right.

00:41:18.720 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

00:41:21.880 It's Friday.

00:41:22.500 Pat and Stu, in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:29.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:32.500 All right, we've seen some massive wins for truth in the American family recently.

00:41:48.160 And it feels like that pendulum might finally be swinging back in the direction of genuine American values.

00:41:53.260 Ronald Reagan famously said that all great change in America starts at the dinner table.

00:41:59.140 And that means, you know, change, of course, starts with the family, your family.

00:42:03.680 There's no company doing more to help you bring your family together to the table as Good Ranchers.

00:42:09.020 Good Ranchers delivers a 100% American meat experience to your door.

00:42:17.300 So you know where it comes from and who you're supporting.

00:42:46.840 All right, show starts in about 10 seconds.

00:42:50.020 Let's do it.

00:42:57.940 We've got no room to compromise.

00:43:20.620 We've got to stand together if the chorus of lies.

00:43:24.620 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:43:32.380 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.

00:43:38.760 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:44.420 This is the Glenn Back Program.

00:43:48.460 Stand up.

00:43:49.320 With Pat and Stu for one more day.

00:43:51.760 Glenn's back on Monday.

00:43:53.820 You're going to hear some fantastic things that this administration has done with our strategic oil reserve.

00:44:00.540 We're going to get into that and more in about 60 seconds.

00:44:04.140 If you put your house up on the market today, depending on where you live, chances are pretty good that you could not only sell it in a heartbeat, but that you'd get a really good price for it.

00:44:17.740 Congratulations.

00:44:18.340 Great news.

00:44:19.120 That's something to celebrate.

00:44:20.560 But there's just one more question.

00:44:22.000 Where are you going to live?

00:44:23.020 Because those same rules that got you a great price on your house are going to work against you when you try to buy someone else's.

00:44:29.360 So what do you need now?

00:44:30.720 You need someone who knows what they're doing to help you.

00:44:33.440 You need a great real estate agent.

00:44:35.380 Glenn started a company years ago called Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:44:38.820 And, of course, I highly recommend them.

00:44:40.860 They do great work and they've helped so many people in this audience.

00:44:43.760 They find the top agents in your area.

00:44:51.740 All you have to do is reach out to them and they will start the process with you pretty much immediately.

00:44:56.800 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:44:57.800 The name pretty much says it all.

00:44:59.860 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:02.240 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:06.080 Okay, so the Strategic Oil Reserve.

00:45:08.760 It's called that because it's supposed to be strategic.

00:45:12.280 And it's in reserve.

00:45:14.080 And it's in reserve for, say, the U.S. military.

00:45:17.160 Like, we're having a shortage of oil.

00:45:19.140 And so, if we're in the middle of a war, what would you do?

00:45:22.800 You run out of oil.

00:45:24.120 Your tanks grain to a halt.

00:45:25.860 All your vehicles stop.

00:45:27.700 Well, that's where the oil reserve comes in.

00:45:30.400 That's why we have 750 million barrels on reserve so that you could use it for the military to keep it going.

00:45:37.240 Hmm.

00:45:37.740 I just got to question your use of the word have.

00:45:40.940 Well, you used to have.

00:45:42.120 Used to have.

00:45:43.280 We had.

00:45:43.880 We had 750 million barrels.

00:45:46.620 Right now, I think it's under 300.

00:45:48.260 Yeah.

00:45:48.660 I think it's like 250.

00:45:49.560 More than half.

00:45:49.980 Almost two-thirds is gone.

00:45:52.020 If you just.

00:45:53.120 But the good thing was, it all went to American motorists.

00:45:57.240 It went directly to the pumps here in the United States of America so that people could.

00:46:01.680 You could lower the price of what you're paying every gallon here at the pump.

00:46:08.020 And, man, it just went right to give, provide relief to the American people.

00:46:14.060 I think the feeling Americans would describe when talking about the last few months at the pump would be relief.

00:46:22.880 They just feel like, wow, this has been, what an incredible relief to come to this pump right now and pay 501 a gallon instead of 502 or 503 a gallon.

00:46:32.840 I will say, though, I just went to the pump yesterday.

00:46:36.140 Now, the time before this, it was $120 to fill my tank.

00:46:41.440 Yesterday, it was only 99.25.

00:46:45.220 I only paid $99.25.

00:46:48.380 It's a miracle.

00:46:49.060 Wow.

00:46:49.740 It has come down a little bit.

00:46:50.940 It's actually, I believe the average price now is 480.

00:46:54.120 It was 502 was the peak, and now we're down to 480.

00:46:56.720 Which is unthinkable.

00:46:59.420 480 is a terrible, terrible, terrible price.

00:47:01.720 Because it was, when the election took place, I believe it was $1.87.

00:47:06.400 I think when he left office, it was, was it $2.36 or something to that effect?

00:47:11.480 Unbelievable.

00:47:11.960 It was really low.

00:47:13.560 And that's normal.

00:47:14.880 I don't even think of that as low.

00:47:16.400 That's normal.

00:47:17.340 Yeah.

00:47:17.640 But this is not, this is abnormal.

00:47:20.480 Very.

00:47:20.700 That's what this is.

00:47:21.580 Very.

00:47:21.980 And it's unsustainable.

00:47:23.600 We should also point out the, just wait, mark my words, when the inflation report comes

00:47:31.080 out, either this month or next month, and the drop in gas prices is factored in, and

00:47:37.100 inflation looks like it's come down a little bit, mark my words, they will take credit for

00:47:42.220 that.

00:47:42.560 Oh, you bet they will.

00:47:43.500 And they will say, oh, it's all because of our amazing policies.

00:47:47.520 Now, of course, the real reason here is largely due to the fears of global recession.

00:47:53.600 So, it's actually, his policies are so bad that people are terrified.

00:48:00.760 And so, demand is being played with, even the supply chain is not enough to hold up this

00:48:10.160 dynamic.

00:48:10.920 And so, we're getting to that point now where people are freaking out about the economy.

00:48:14.820 When that happens, gas prices are going to start coming down.

00:48:18.040 You know, again, there's good things.

00:48:19.440 I mean, that's obviously a good side effect of economic worry, I suppose.

00:48:23.320 But I don't think that's a, that's not a path to economic success.

00:48:26.900 Terrify everybody over constant recession, maybe depression, and they'll stop buying stuff

00:48:32.160 is not a great way to stop inflation.

00:48:34.680 And it is sort of one of those things that seems to be the only approach they have.

00:48:40.820 Their approach seems to be, what if we come up with the worst ideas possible, and everyone

00:48:46.120 loses confidence, and then the economy crashes, that should cure inflation.

00:48:51.580 Yes, it should.

00:48:52.520 It will.

00:48:53.340 That will cure that part of the economy.

00:48:57.040 Really quickly, we did have a job report come out today, which was, you know, as you might

00:49:02.120 imagine, still, you know, good.

00:49:05.320 You'd say, you know, pretty, pretty good.

00:49:07.540 I mean, this is, of course, they're trying to slow this down at this point.

00:49:10.240 I mean, when they're raising these rates, they're trying to slow down the job growth because

00:49:13.220 they think it's out of control.

00:49:14.920 Because people are, you know, the markets and the economy is overheated.

00:49:20.640 That's essentially the problem and why we have all this inflation.

00:49:23.200 And they're, like, bragging about this, like, well, the rate just went up 5%.

00:49:26.800 Well, yeah, but when inflation's up 10, most people are not going to cheer you on when it

00:49:34.600 comes to a 5% raise.

00:49:37.520 And most people, of course, are not getting that 5% raise either.

00:49:40.720 So it's a difficult thing for them to navigate.

00:49:42.940 But back to the strategic oil reserve here.

00:49:45.360 They did, now, not every single gallon of oil is going to go to American consumers.

00:49:55.640 I mean, come on, what do you, what, you can't, how can you even keep track of it, first of

00:49:59.180 all?

00:49:59.720 Some of it's just going to, you're just going to spill it, right?

00:50:01.860 You're going to spill it on the ground.

00:50:02.680 Really?

00:50:03.040 Yeah.

00:50:03.460 Some of it, you just kind of, sometimes, I mean, oops.

00:50:06.260 Yeah, exactly.

00:50:07.180 Like, if you spills.

00:50:08.100 Like, have you ever been to an office water cooler?

00:50:10.520 There's always a little puddle of water on the ground.

00:50:12.280 Somebody spilled a little bit.

00:50:13.220 That happens with oil.

00:50:14.380 Same with the oil reserve.

00:50:15.360 That's a strategic oil reserve.

00:50:16.300 You go there to fill it up to give to the American consumers, something's going to spill

00:50:18.780 on the ground.

00:50:19.340 Okay.

00:50:19.700 Okay.

00:50:20.920 Some, you know, may go to some of our close allies, you know?

00:50:27.380 Like, you know, like.

00:50:28.600 Everyone, like, such as.

00:50:29.660 Like China, for example.

00:50:31.140 China.

00:50:31.780 Some of our, really, people we work with so closely, and have done so many good things

00:50:36.960 for the world.

00:50:38.400 Have you heard of COVID-19?

00:50:40.540 I have.

00:50:40.940 They did that for us.

00:50:41.940 Oh, wow.

00:50:42.620 Yeah.

00:50:43.120 They were.

00:50:44.100 Wow.

00:50:44.400 That's been very prevalent.

00:50:45.520 Yeah.

00:50:45.940 Almost everywhere.

00:50:46.940 It's been a gift that keeps on giving for multiple years now, and that's thanks to the

00:50:52.300 Chinese government, who didn't really kind of tell anybody about it for a while, and

00:50:56.100 let it kind of rage out of control.

00:50:57.740 Maybe leaked out of one of their labs.

00:50:59.900 So, that's a real positive they've done for the world, and, you know, there's other things,

00:51:06.660 too.

00:51:07.040 You know?

00:51:07.280 Well, we don't have time to get into all of them.

00:51:09.960 Well, you know, but.

00:51:12.380 Sweet and sour chicken is a contribution for the Chinese.

00:51:16.940 Yeah.

00:51:17.380 I don't know if there was a real general sow or not.

00:51:19.660 It's deliberate.

00:51:19.880 Delicious.

00:51:20.560 They're on that bandwagon pretty well.

00:51:22.320 Yeah.

00:51:22.520 You've got the Great Leap Forward.

00:51:27.040 Yes.

00:51:27.340 Which is a really great title for a movement.

00:51:31.160 You know, it had some negative side effects to it.

00:51:34.860 A few.

00:51:35.620 Cultural Revolution.

00:51:37.040 Wow.

00:51:37.420 What an incredible.

00:51:38.780 A revolution of culture.

00:51:40.520 Yeah.

00:51:40.980 You know, you can't beat that.

00:51:43.920 You know, it had, again, a couple of negative side effects.

00:51:46.100 You know, maybe tens of millions of negative side effects, but it was, again, something

00:51:50.860 that we all were affected by.

00:51:52.900 So, as a reward, we just, we sent some.

00:51:55.920 A little bit.

00:51:56.700 Oil over to them.

00:51:57.960 A couple of barrels.

00:51:59.320 Like how many?

00:52:00.140 How many barrels wound up?

00:52:01.580 A few.

00:52:01.980 Well, a few more than we spilled, you know, because you do spill a couple of drops here

00:52:06.060 and there.

00:52:06.700 A couple of barrels got over there, you know, something like 950,000 barrels, you know.

00:52:13.580 But, just the 950,000, and that's not all that went to China, of course, but that did

00:52:20.340 go to the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese

00:52:27.800 government.

00:52:30.000 And that's, you know, that's probably a gift to them, you know, for all the things they've

00:52:35.280 done for us and continue to do for us on a daily basis.

00:52:39.560 You know, do you ever have a computer problem?

00:52:42.220 You got a computer problem.

00:52:45.160 You go to the Apple genius or the IT person and they'll come in, they'll log into your

00:52:50.420 computer and you can kind of see them moving the mouse around and they'll click on stuff

00:52:54.980 and they'll say, hey, this is what you need to do.

00:52:56.620 They're logging into our computers all the time.

00:53:00.240 That is true.

00:53:01.040 Helping us out.

00:53:01.560 The Chinese do log into our computers.

00:53:03.780 Who knows how many problems on your computer they've fixed, you know.

00:53:07.600 How about say, here's another one they've done for us.

00:53:09.520 TikTok.

00:53:09.840 Where would people go to lip sync to random audio?

00:53:16.240 I don't know.

00:53:17.000 And what do we do for them in return?

00:53:20.140 Sure.

00:53:20.500 We send them the 950,000 barrels of oil and we give them all of our personal location

00:53:25.340 information so that they can study it, you know, but that's a minor, a minor thing.

00:53:29.680 And we are agreeing to that.

00:53:31.300 So you can't say that that's really, you know, that's not, that's not a fair deal.

00:53:36.220 We need to give them more and that's why we gave them this oil.

00:53:39.800 So anyway, the Biden administration claimed the move would help address the pain Americans

00:53:44.880 are feeling at the pump and help lower energy costs.

00:53:47.960 But then 950,000 barrels went to China.

00:53:51.120 So I'm not sure how that would happen.

00:53:52.520 More than 5 million barrels of oil released from the U.S.

00:53:55.620 emergency reserves were sent overseas.

00:53:57.680 According to a Reuters report that came out Wednesday, at least one shipment of American

00:54:02.340 crude oil went to China.

00:54:03.320 The report said the Biden administration also claimed the the company Unipack, the sale

00:54:08.480 would support American consumers and the global economy in response to Vladimir Putin's war

00:54:14.660 of choice against Ukraine and combat the Putin price hike.

00:54:18.840 I like to call it the tax increase now.

00:54:21.760 It's the Putin tax increase.

00:54:23.500 That's what they're calling it?

00:54:24.100 Yeah.

00:54:24.420 Not the price hike anymore?

00:54:25.320 No, it's not the price hike anymore.

00:54:26.700 It's the Putin tax increase.

00:54:29.320 Now, there's an issue with this particular issue in that this company is one of the companies

00:54:39.340 that was tied to Hunter Biden.

00:54:44.960 So unbelievable.

00:54:47.020 Uh, it's a kind of a problem.

00:54:50.400 Power the future founder Daniel Turner admonished Biden for selling, quote, raw materials to

00:54:54.580 the communist Chinese for them to use as they want.

00:54:57.040 We were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so that it could be refined for

00:55:00.580 gasoline to drive down prices at the pump.

00:55:02.880 So right off the bat, they're just lying to the American people.

00:55:05.460 Turner told the Washington Free Beacon.

00:55:07.660 What they're saying they did and what they did are not remotely related.

00:55:12.780 Turner also said the decision highlights the Biden's family relationship with China.

00:55:16.140 Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopec, which is one of these companies.

00:55:19.700 In 2015, a private equity firm he co-founded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec marketing.

00:55:27.920 Sinopec went on to enter negotiations to purchase Gazprom in March, one month after the Biden

00:55:33.380 administration sanctioned the Russian gas giant.

00:55:36.140 So the company that Hunter Biden worked directly with was the company Joe Biden sent 950,000

00:55:45.200 barrels of oil to.

00:55:46.900 But other than that, you should be happy with this administration because everything else

00:55:50.820 is going well.

00:55:52.820 Everything.

00:55:53.640 Remember, it's just a Hunter Biden story.

00:55:57.780 He's a guy that's out of control, Pat.

00:55:59.580 Well, and Joe doesn't even know anything about his business dealings.

00:56:03.260 He's never even discussed it with his son.

00:56:05.420 No.

00:56:05.780 He doesn't even know where the guy worked.

00:56:07.660 He was gone for years at a time overseas and he didn't even know where he was.

00:56:11.580 Now, sure.

00:56:12.060 Did they just catch him leaving a voicemail about his business interest?

00:56:15.520 Yes.

00:56:16.320 Yes, they did.

00:56:17.080 Yes.

00:56:17.220 But that was a guess.

00:56:18.820 How many times have you called somebody up and said, hey, let me guess about several

00:56:23.080 specific details of your life on your voicemail?

00:56:25.420 Now, that is one of those things that moms and dads do all the time.

00:56:30.420 Wow.

00:56:31.000 This is unbelievable.

00:56:32.260 It is unbelievable.

00:56:33.480 I keep saying that word and it must not mean what I think it means.

00:56:38.280 No, it doesn't.

00:56:38.520 Because it keeps happening over and over again, Pat.

00:56:40.920 I can't wait till Peter Doocy asks KJP about that specific instance.

00:56:48.520 Is that what we're calling her?

00:56:49.420 KJP.

00:56:50.120 Yeah.

00:56:50.700 You're not calling her Corinne Jean-Pierre?

00:56:52.420 No, I'm not.

00:56:53.400 No.

00:56:53.640 KJP.

00:56:54.080 KJP takes too long to say and she's not worth it.

00:56:56.400 No.

00:56:57.300 888-933-93.

00:56:59.100 More coming up in one minute.

00:57:04.200 Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed.

00:57:07.980 He's a completely different dog.

00:57:10.040 I hear from people all the time in the audience.

00:57:12.760 I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with

00:57:17.060 their dog.

00:57:17.480 They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show.

00:57:19.180 They get some for themselves.

00:57:20.380 And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.

00:57:24.840 And it's really good for them.

00:57:26.000 It's not a dog food.

00:57:26.900 It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.

00:57:31.440 Your dog needs these things to be healthy.

00:57:34.260 My dog was easy.

00:57:35.240 From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.

00:57:38.300 Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.

00:57:41.240 Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.

00:57:45.000 He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.

00:57:47.140 So right now, he's got a special gift available.

00:57:49.400 You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.

00:57:53.800 All you pay is shipping.

00:57:54.940 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.

00:58:00.040 Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.

00:58:14.720 It's Power Hour Day, by the way.

00:58:16.380 StuDoesPowerHour.com is the place to go.

00:58:18.820 Check it out.

00:58:19.380 It's on YouTube.com slash StuDoesAmerica tonight after the regular show.

00:58:23.040 So we're going to do the regular show, talk about all the news of the day, then go into Power Hour.

00:58:27.820 It's going to be a really fun time.

00:58:30.560 Chad Prather will be there.

00:58:31.880 Sarah Gonzalez.

00:58:32.620 My wife, Lisa Page, is joining.

00:58:34.500 She's an interesting person in the particular condition she might be in tonight.

00:58:40.780 You also have Alex Stein and Andrew Heaton joining us as well.

00:58:45.180 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:58:46.260 If you don't know what this is, we do this thing semi-annually where we all get together and attempt to talk politics while having one shot of beer every minute for an hour.

00:58:59.560 And it's completely ridiculous and turns into as idiotic as you might imagine.

00:59:06.260 So, and look, you don't have to put your body through this torture.

00:59:10.460 You can watch us do it.

00:59:11.740 It's at StuDoesPowerHour.com.

00:59:13.700 Go check it out.

00:59:14.380 It's tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern.

00:59:15.840 Now, until Steve Doocy, or Peter Doocy, not Steve.

00:59:22.040 Steve's in the studio.

00:59:23.500 But his son, Peter Doocy, goes to the White House press conference every day.

00:59:27.220 And until he has the chance to ask about the strategic oil reserve, part of that being sent to the Chinese company that he was directly involved with, until he can ask that question.

00:59:39.540 He did, they asked about, I think it was him that asked about the economy yesterday.

00:59:45.900 And KJP had some interesting things to say about the economy.

00:59:50.160 Why do you think it is that 88% of people in this country, polled by Monmouth, think the country is on the wrong track?

00:59:58.160 So, I'll say this.

01:00:00.180 The president understands what the American people are going through.

01:00:04.100 He understands.

01:00:04.540 He understands that gas prices are high.

01:00:07.040 He understands that.

01:00:07.820 Because of Putin's tax hike, because of the war, the brutal war that Putin has taken on in Ukraine, and their brave fight to fight for their democracy, that's what we're seeing here.

01:00:20.000 And also the food insecurity, the food cost has skyrocketed.

01:00:24.440 And that's why the president has done everything that he can to blunt those high prices.

01:00:29.940 That's why he's tapped into the strategic petroleum reserve.

01:00:33.160 That's why he tapped into it.

01:00:34.800 The amount of barrels coming out a day, one million a day.

01:00:39.140 That's why he is doing the homegrown biofuels, the ethanol 15, making that available this summer, which is not normally available this summer.

01:00:49.500 Wow.

01:00:49.980 What a move.

01:00:50.300 We can try and bring down those costs.

01:00:53.240 And that's why he's going to continue to work to make sure we lower those costs.

01:00:57.380 Right.

01:00:57.680 But again, we understand what the American people are feeling.

01:01:00.760 We're doing everything that we can.

01:01:02.680 We have a plan.

01:01:03.580 Here's the thing.

01:01:04.140 We have a plan.

01:01:05.260 Republicans do not have a plan.

01:01:07.240 What they want to do is take away rights from the American people.

01:01:10.940 They want to take your rights.

01:01:11.880 Do you think it's possible that your plan just is not popular with the American people right now?

01:01:17.180 No, that's not possible.

01:01:18.200 I don't think it's that our plan is not popular with the American people.

01:01:21.320 We know that the American people are feeling the high cost.

01:01:25.740 We understand what they are feeling because when you look at inflation, when we look at where we are economically, and we are in a strong-

01:01:34.400 She's lost here.

01:01:35.300 We are stronger economically than we have been in history.

01:01:38.960 When you look at the unemployment numbers-

01:01:40.120 Get that.

01:01:40.140 Okay, pause out there.

01:01:41.000 Wow.

01:01:41.540 We are stronger economically than we have been in history.

01:01:48.740 She's just looking for anything to say.

01:01:51.500 She has no idea where to go with this.

01:01:54.180 Oh, my good God.

01:01:55.200 It's incredible.

01:01:56.200 She is a catastrophe.

01:01:57.400 Oh, she is a catastrophe.

01:01:58.560 I mean, she seems like a very nice lady, but oh, my God.

01:02:02.160 I mean, this is-

01:02:02.720 I know.

01:02:03.060 That's embarrassing.

01:02:03.580 That's embarrassing to watch.

01:02:04.800 That's like, it makes you feel like when you're watching one of those, like, hidden camera reality shows, and someone's in the middle of, like, just blowing it in some way, and you have that cringy feeling inside, like, inside your stomach.

01:02:18.220 Just watching her try to answer these questions.

01:02:20.420 That's how I feel every time.

01:02:22.200 Yeah.

01:02:22.340 It just feels like she has no idea what she's talking about.

01:02:24.720 She's reaching for literally anything to not go to her book and just read, which is usually where this winds up.

01:02:31.380 And to say that this is the most- the best economy we've ever had is completely nuts.

01:02:38.680 Nobody believes that.

01:02:40.340 It is literally insane.

01:02:42.000 It's insane to make that claim.

01:02:45.140 What sort of opinion must you have of the American people to think they would believe that?

01:02:50.820 I don't know.

01:02:53.780 Like, it's the kind of lie I said on my show today.

01:02:57.680 It's like you're standing there in front of everybody and saying, I am not here.

01:03:04.680 But we're looking right at you.

01:03:06.520 No, you're not.

01:03:07.700 I am not here.

01:03:12.000 Wait.

01:03:12.480 That's not a bad impression of her, except you should be reading that line.

01:03:15.140 It really is that bad.

01:03:18.200 It's so bad.

01:03:19.820 It is so bad.

01:03:20.920 And you're telling- she's said it multiple times, by the way, that this is the best economy in history.

01:03:25.700 She has said it over and over and over again.

01:03:29.220 How could you say that?

01:03:30.400 I mean, I don't know.

01:03:31.180 Honestly, with a straight face, it's remarkable.

01:03:34.180 And at one point she says, oh, well, Joe Biden's doing everything he can to help solve these problems.

01:03:40.540 Has he done everything he could?

01:03:42.060 Because I haven't seen him resign yet.

01:03:43.520 When he resigns, you can take credit for that.

01:03:46.640 Then he's done everything he can.

01:03:48.340 Get out.

01:03:49.580 Then we could probably-

01:03:51.240 Now, again, of course, we'd go to Kamala Harris, which would probably make it worse.

01:03:54.640 But maybe she could give it to somebody else.

01:03:56.560 Why don't we just keep going down the line?

01:03:57.820 Maybe everybody holds their presidency for one day until we get somebody good.

01:04:02.880 How about that idea?

01:04:03.620 I'm almost willing to hold out for the Secretary of Agriculture.

01:04:06.980 What is he in line?

01:04:08.300 I don't know.

01:04:09.300 It's like 14th?

01:04:10.680 I don't know.

01:04:11.380 Yeah, somewhere down the line.

01:04:12.760 But let's try it.

01:04:15.040 Let's try it.

01:04:15.920 Because this is not working.

01:04:17.460 No.

01:04:18.060 You know, I don't like-

01:04:18.740 And we said, I don't like the parliamentary system where, you know, you just lose a confidence

01:04:24.060 vote and you've got to resign.

01:04:26.720 That might not be that bad a thing here in the United States.

01:04:30.240 Let's keep up.

01:04:30.700 We'll be like Israel.

01:04:31.400 We'll just trade presidents and have an election every like three or four weeks.

01:04:34.240 Yep.

01:04:35.580 Willing to try it right now.

01:04:39.200 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:42.760 You hear me talk about my love all the time for MyPillow and MySheets.

01:04:46.480 And I've had the best sleep of my life, honestly.

01:04:49.800 And Mike Lindell has done it again with his MySlippers.

01:04:53.420 He took over two years to develop these.

01:04:55.640 He ensured that they weren't just any ordinary slipper.

01:04:58.580 These slippers are made with three-tier cushioning system, two layers, MyPillow foam,

01:05:03.200 and a layer of impact gel to prevent fatigue and offer all-day comfort.

01:05:07.960 It's embarrassing for my children, but I love them.

01:05:10.840 And I can wear them indoors, outdoors, when I bring them places.

01:05:15.480 Oh, they love it.

01:05:16.700 And I love it, too, because they're comfortable.

01:05:18.380 For a limited time, you're going to save $90 on a pair of MySlippers.

01:05:22.200 The blowout sale of the year won't last.

01:05:49.380 More Glenn Beck next.

01:05:50.560 Yeah.

01:06:13.120 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:06:14.960 888-727-B-E-C-K.

01:06:20.140 Has it been a while since you've had something really delicious to eat?

01:06:23.200 No, I can fix that by...

01:06:24.440 Really?

01:06:24.800 Yeah, just sending you to Kexi.com.

01:06:26.900 Really?

01:06:27.260 So you brought in the strawberry Pop-Tart cookie?

01:06:29.380 Oh, that's what I remember.

01:06:30.240 You know I did, and somebody ate them.

01:06:34.820 Ate?

01:06:35.260 Yeah, ate the cookies that I brought in.

01:06:37.440 You promised me you would bring in a strawberry Pop-Tart cookie today.

01:06:40.040 So I did, and then somebody ate them.

01:06:42.800 I don't know who it was.

01:06:44.420 Well, it doesn't really do me any good.

01:06:45.800 No, it doesn't, but dang it.

01:06:47.680 I did remember to bring them in, but then, of course, as I said,

01:06:51.880 somebody ate them.

01:06:53.880 Yeah, I had the caramel cream, or the coconut cream.

01:06:57.560 I had the strawberry Pop-Tart cookies, and they're just all gone.

01:07:03.940 Somebody ate them.

01:07:04.640 I don't know.

01:07:05.320 Turned my back for half a minute, and they're gone.

01:07:08.540 You know, I have...

01:07:09.220 It's unconscionable, really.

01:07:10.720 We have a pretty big audience coming to watch the Power Hour tonight

01:07:13.500 here in the studio.

01:07:15.100 Yeah.

01:07:15.380 Do you want to maybe bring in some samples for these people to...

01:07:19.240 I mean, you just go home, you know, go back, pick them up,

01:07:22.400 come right back after the show.

01:07:23.860 I could do that.

01:07:25.120 I could.

01:07:25.280 And then all these fine people, these fine Americans

01:07:27.400 who listen to this program, listen to Studios America,

01:07:29.740 listen to Pac-Ray Unleashed probably,

01:07:31.000 will be able to get a sample of Kexi cookies,

01:07:33.100 real, authentic Kexi cookies.

01:07:35.160 All right.

01:07:35.440 Or you could just go to Kexi.com, and you could order them.

01:07:38.380 And if you put in the promo code PAT15, you'll save 15% right now.

01:07:43.780 You could do that.

01:07:45.300 Well, I could do that, but you're in the same room as me,

01:07:48.340 and it's your wife's company in recipes.

01:07:51.360 Yeah.

01:07:51.680 I know.

01:07:52.600 I know.

01:07:53.120 It's weird.

01:07:54.560 Well, it's not weird at all.

01:07:57.880 You know, it's not weird?

01:07:59.300 You don't think it is?

01:07:59.900 It's not weird at all.

01:08:00.680 All right.

01:08:01.340 No, it's easy to explain.

01:08:03.300 Well, let's see if that can happen.

01:08:04.380 Okay.

01:08:04.600 We'll see.

01:08:04.940 We'll see about that.

01:08:05.760 We'll see about it.

01:08:08.480 You don't care about people.

01:08:09.600 No, I do.

01:08:09.980 You don't care.

01:08:10.600 I deeply, deeply care.

01:08:12.400 You must be a Republican or something.

01:08:14.000 You must be a conservative.

01:08:15.400 A conservative, yes.

01:08:16.620 I could tell.

01:08:17.240 Republican?

01:08:17.780 I could tell.

01:08:18.320 Yeah, really.

01:08:19.200 It doesn't always feel so good.

01:08:20.580 No, it doesn't.

01:08:21.400 No.

01:08:21.680 KJP was asked about comparing January 6th to, because Trump was supposedly doing nothing

01:08:32.120 but watching TV on January 6th, right?

01:08:34.740 How is that any different, she was asked, than what Joe Biden did when the Supreme Court

01:08:41.000 was under assault from all those protesters at their homes, and he was at the beach just

01:08:47.100 hanging out.

01:08:48.540 Check this out.

01:08:49.460 Here's her response.

01:08:50.260 Thank you, Karen.

01:08:52.680 I would like to ask you about the announcement that the President made in the G740 Global

01:08:59.780 Partnership on Infrastructure.

01:09:02.160 But before that, I would like to know what's the difference between President Trump watching

01:09:07.840 TV, even pleading to go to the Capitol while the Capitol was being attacked, and President Biden going to the beach and having found what Supreme Court justices are underattacked by a verbally violent mob.

01:09:23.980 What's the difference between President Trump not doing anything while the Capitol was being attacked, and President Biden not doing anything while protesters, while the Supreme Court justices were under attack in their own homes with their families and with their children?

01:09:45.500 Well, there are two major differences here.

01:09:49.300 It's true.

01:09:49.840 Two of them.

01:09:50.240 First of all.

01:09:51.060 First?

01:09:53.060 You can't even get it out.

01:09:54.780 Our predecessor.

01:09:56.880 You can't say anything.

01:09:57.800 It was very, we have said that his behavior on that day, on January 6th, was atrocious.

01:10:05.040 The President said it, too, that it was atrocious.

01:10:09.420 And we are going to let the select committee, the January 6th select committee, continue to do their independent review of that.

01:10:16.360 That they're hearing, and you guys all saw for yourselves.

01:10:19.980 The American people have seen for themselves what our predecessor has done.

01:10:27.700 His behavior and his involvement.

01:10:29.380 Is she the worst?

01:10:30.060 So that is not the same.

01:10:31.520 Is this a joke?

01:10:32.240 That is absolutely not the same.

01:10:33.140 Did they run the contest for this job?

01:10:35.920 What the hell happened?

01:10:38.000 We are talking about a very dark day that the person who was here before us seemingly, if you watch,

01:10:46.360 she will not say Trump, for some reason.

01:10:48.500 So that's very, very different.

01:10:50.960 Very, very different.

01:10:51.840 Now, fast forward to this president.

01:10:53.300 Now, fast forward to this president.

01:10:55.020 This president is fighting for women's rights.

01:10:57.120 And I'm going to start talking about Roe v. Wade.

01:10:57.760 He's fighting for women's freedom.

01:10:59.440 He's spoken out.

01:11:00.400 He's been very clear about what he's doing.

01:11:00.720 What does that have to do with anything?

01:11:02.000 That was not the question.

01:11:02.960 That has nothing to do with the assassination attempt.

01:11:04.820 Right.

01:11:05.220 He brought out two executive authorities.

01:11:06.440 And you were going to give two examples, and you only gave ways that we can protect women.

01:11:11.140 And now you're talking about something.

01:11:12.400 Okay, I can't take it.

01:11:13.980 She has a completely different topic now.

01:11:16.360 It has nothing to do with the question.

01:11:18.700 And by the way, how cool is it that Africa today has a representative at the White House press briefing,

01:11:24.920 and he gets to ask a question.

01:11:26.780 Like that?

01:11:27.320 Yeah.

01:11:27.800 I mean, that's kind of amazing, really.

01:11:30.700 What a country.

01:11:31.040 It is amazing.

01:11:31.760 And I honestly ask you, sincerely here, Pat, I don't think we should play any more clips of her.

01:11:38.480 I can't.

01:11:39.740 That was so bad.

01:11:40.860 She's bad.

01:11:41.140 It's embarrassing.

01:11:42.140 She's bad.

01:11:42.340 It makes me cringe.

01:11:43.640 It makes me uncomfortable.

01:11:45.160 Did they just have a random drawing to select anyone?

01:11:48.420 Anyone to come in and do this job?

01:11:50.420 No, I think you would have gotten somebody better if you'd done it that way.

01:11:54.100 I think you would have had a better representative.

01:11:57.500 This is what happens when you hire people based on their genitals, their skin color, which genitals they prefer to hang out with often.

01:12:06.520 Yeah.

01:12:07.180 When you hire people based on that instead of their actual ability, you get this.

01:12:12.400 Yes.

01:12:12.720 We need a black lesbian who's going to be our representative here.

01:12:16.340 And a woman.

01:12:17.140 And a woman.

01:12:17.720 Mm-hmm.

01:12:18.100 A black lesbian woman.

01:12:21.380 And usually lesbians are women.

01:12:23.440 That's a good point.

01:12:24.180 Yeah.

01:12:24.440 I guess that's a little redundant.

01:12:25.580 Well, no.

01:12:25.900 You know what?

01:12:26.440 Probably not now.

01:12:26.980 Not necessarily.

01:12:27.720 Not these days.

01:12:28.320 Right.

01:12:28.760 You know what?

01:12:29.260 A lot of male lesbians out there.

01:12:30.380 And what are you?

01:12:31.040 A biologist?

01:12:31.900 Do you know she's a woman?

01:12:32.960 I don't know.

01:12:33.480 No.

01:12:33.760 And I wouldn't know, even if I were a biologist, because it's whatever she says at any given moment.

01:12:39.880 That's what I'm supposed to go along with.

01:12:41.580 And it's not that, you know, necessarily a black lesbian would be bad in this role.

01:12:47.180 Of course not.

01:12:47.740 If that was the best representative you could get, that'd be great.

01:12:50.840 Convince me she's the worst.

01:12:52.900 She's the worst.

01:12:53.160 Convince me this person is the best person for this job.

01:12:56.420 And this, the problem with this is not her, Corinne Jean-Pierre specifically, because this

01:13:02.820 job is largely meaningless.

01:13:04.480 There's no person on earth that can make Joe Biden look good.

01:13:07.180 So the fact that she's going to go out there and stumble through it and embarrass herself

01:13:10.820 and embarrass the country every day she does a press briefing is not all that big a deal,

01:13:15.760 honestly.

01:13:16.400 It's a very minor piece of the puzzle.

01:13:18.980 However, they're doing this all over government.

01:13:22.800 They had just hired a nuclear scientist who has been writing op-eds defending child prostitution

01:13:30.220 sites.

01:13:32.240 They are just, because I guess he's trans or something.

01:13:38.420 My gosh.

01:13:40.900 Look at the HHS person.

01:13:45.860 Is that the person you want making your health decisions?

01:13:49.080 Is that person really the person, is it Rachel Levine, is that the person you really want

01:13:57.080 in charge of HHS?

01:13:58.380 Is that person really the most qualified for that job?

01:14:02.200 Really?

01:14:03.540 And the answer is no, of course, on all of these things.

01:14:05.640 They're just looking for special interest groups.

01:14:07.500 It's easy for us to see it with Corinne Jean-Pierre, right?

01:14:10.560 We can all look at Corinne Jean-Pierre and say she seems like a very nice, wonderful person

01:14:15.440 that has absolutely no business having that job.

01:14:19.620 She's clearly terrible at it.

01:14:22.000 And the thing is, whoever you hire is going to face the same problem in that they have

01:14:26.900 to lie to the American people every single day, all day.

01:14:29.840 It's not an easy job.

01:14:30.840 It's not.

01:14:31.680 I'm not saying it's an easy job, but that's why you hire...

01:14:33.940 To defend this guy is virtually impossible.

01:14:35.760 Impossible.

01:14:36.200 You have nothing to go with.

01:14:36.960 But she is terrible at it.

01:14:38.540 There's no way to make an argument in his defense that is credible.

01:14:41.880 We all know that.

01:14:42.780 Right.

01:14:43.000 But at least once her face, who just left, did somewhat of a reasonable job of lying

01:14:49.720 every day.

01:14:50.320 I thought she was mediocre to bad at that job.

01:14:53.440 I didn't think she was great.

01:14:54.540 I mean, at times she was fine.

01:14:56.500 At times she was kind of bad.

01:14:58.020 She'd get lost sometimes.

01:14:59.520 But again, very difficult task.

01:15:01.640 I'm not underselling how difficult this job is.

01:15:03.920 To sit here and try to defend Joe Biden every day and these policies.

01:15:06.640 That's hard.

01:15:07.180 It's how do you defend a series of nonstop catastrophes?

01:15:12.120 It's really hard to do.

01:15:13.800 So I'm not saying that it would be easy.

01:15:16.180 But this is why you hire based on merit.

01:15:19.060 Right.

01:15:19.540 You don't hire based on genitals.

01:15:21.780 Right.

01:15:22.140 When you hire based on genitals, you get a situation like this.

01:15:25.280 And I don't know, honestly, whether...

01:15:29.680 How many times they've done this?

01:15:31.780 How many times throughout...

01:15:33.220 I mean, we're talking about our nuclear infrastructure here.

01:15:36.460 Is that person really the most qualified?

01:15:39.640 It's possible.

01:15:41.720 It's possible.

01:15:43.020 But geez, it seems quite odd that they over and over and over again find the most qualified

01:15:49.480 people for almost every job just happen to be a first of something.

01:15:53.860 Yeah.

01:15:54.420 Does that seem reasonable to anybody?

01:15:57.540 I mean, look.

01:15:58.520 No.

01:15:58.840 Ketanji Brown-Jackson, is she the most qualified person for that role?

01:16:03.800 We will never know the answer to that.

01:16:06.880 Why?

01:16:07.400 Because he disqualified 98% of the population before he started choosing.

01:16:13.480 She might be the greatest Supreme Court justice ever.

01:16:17.320 I have my doubts on that.

01:16:19.660 But we will never know.

01:16:21.540 And he will never know because he refused to look.

01:16:26.160 Think about that.

01:16:26.960 I mean, he said it before he was even president.

01:16:28.920 Yep.

01:16:29.400 When he's president, he's going to nominate a black woman.

01:16:32.880 That's what he said.

01:16:33.600 And he did that.

01:16:34.560 And he did.

01:16:35.560 Specifically to appease a congressman from South Carolina, Clyburn, because he needed the endorsement.

01:16:47.220 And the reporting is that, and I don't know, maybe you haven't heard this.

01:16:51.100 The reporting is, in the middle of one of the debates, in the middle of one of the debates,

01:16:57.520 they went to commercial.

01:16:59.180 And James Clyburn went up to Biden in the commercial break and said,

01:17:03.860 you need to mention that publicly now.

01:17:06.440 And then Biden did.

01:17:08.140 That is legitimately how that happened.

01:17:11.080 Wow.

01:17:12.220 Think about that.

01:17:13.480 And by the way, he did went on to win because of that endorsement, because of that endorsement.

01:17:18.740 And that turned around its whole campaign.

01:17:20.180 Yep.

01:17:20.400 And that's why he's president now.

01:17:21.980 Yep.

01:17:22.780 So think about that for a second.

01:17:25.880 Wow.

01:17:26.740 He did the same thing with his vice presidential pick.

01:17:29.020 And he's doing it all over government, meaning that your government, which you probably already

01:17:33.980 suspected was filled with people that were completely incompetent.

01:17:37.060 Now we know we're not even picking the best incompetent person from the entire population.

01:17:42.620 We're minimizing it to small slivers of the population and then acting as if we pick the

01:17:48.900 right person so that he can come out and have Corinne Jean-Pierre say how diverse his staff

01:17:53.760 is in the greatest country on the planet, in the most powerful nation on earth.

01:18:01.060 This is what we're doing.

01:18:02.300 This is how we're choosing people.

01:18:04.260 This is who's running the government and answering for the government.

01:18:08.440 Wow.

01:18:09.620 That's not good.

01:18:10.940 That's kind of an understatement, but it's not good.

01:18:13.460 Not good.

01:19:35.320 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who returns on Monday.

01:19:51.280 We're just kind of being reintroduced.

01:19:53.500 I know we were introduced, was it fairly recently, to this nuclear guy.

01:19:57.920 But his office is, what is the office he holds?

01:20:03.800 It's Sam Brinton.

01:20:04.900 He is the deputy.

01:20:07.000 Deputy.

01:20:07.700 Assistant.

01:20:08.640 Assistant.

01:20:09.320 Secretary.

01:20:10.420 Okay.

01:20:10.720 The deputy assistant secretary.

01:20:12.220 For spent fuel.

01:20:13.480 For spent fuel.

01:20:14.980 Mm-hmm.

01:20:15.680 And waste.

01:20:17.520 Waste.

01:20:18.200 Disposition.

01:20:19.300 Disposition.

01:20:20.200 Deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition.

01:20:22.760 Waste disposition.

01:20:23.600 Cumbersome, but.

01:20:24.260 In the office.

01:20:25.340 In the office.

01:20:26.480 Of nuclear energy.

01:20:27.360 Of nuclear energy.

01:20:28.700 Okay.

01:20:29.340 In.

01:20:30.020 In.

01:20:30.480 The department of energy.

01:20:31.820 That's legitimately the title.

01:20:33.440 Deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition in the office of nuclear

01:20:37.640 energy in the department of energy.

01:20:39.460 That's the title.

01:20:40.220 That is unbelievable.

01:20:41.440 I mean, that just shows how dumb our government is.

01:20:45.320 But, yeah.

01:20:46.220 But it goes beyond that.

01:20:47.260 The dumbness goes way beyond that.

01:20:49.400 Now, he's probably a very smart guy.

01:20:51.920 He, apparently, he holds dual graduate degrees in nuclear science and engineering.

01:20:57.360 Mm-hmm.

01:20:58.180 As well as the technology policy program from MIT.

01:21:02.200 You don't go to MIT if you're a dummy, as a rule.

01:21:05.040 Unless you're Thomas Massey.

01:21:06.440 Then they can say that about you.

01:21:07.960 Yes.

01:21:08.160 They can say you're the dumbest person in the world when you go to MIT.

01:21:11.620 That's true.

01:21:12.340 This person is completely brilliant in every way.

01:21:15.960 Sam is also a well-known advocate, though, for LGBTQ youth and helped to secure.

01:21:21.560 That's one way of putting it.

01:21:23.060 Uh-huh.

01:21:23.600 You know, advocating for LGBTQ youth is one way of putting his past writings, which advocated

01:21:31.760 for the reopening, apparently, of Rent Boy, the website where, you know, you go to Rent

01:21:38.460 Boys.

01:21:40.320 That was the...

01:21:41.300 That's what you literally did at Rent Boy dot com or whatever it was.

01:21:44.920 I think it's com or whatever it was.

01:21:46.660 I will say, not a member.

01:21:47.600 Me neither.

01:21:49.240 But they shut it down, right?

01:21:50.860 Yeah, they shut it down.

01:21:51.220 He advocated for it to be reopened.

01:21:54.700 He made an argument about how...

01:21:57.540 He or she.

01:21:57.880 We were getting his pronouns all mixed up because...

01:22:00.460 They made an argument.

01:22:02.080 They identify as gender fluid.

01:22:04.580 Can we at least come up with singular fake words?

01:22:06.580 I know.

01:22:07.180 I know.

01:22:07.980 If we're going to butcher the language, can we at least not make them plural?

01:22:11.480 Apparently, they identify as gender fluid and use the pronouns they, them, theirs.

01:22:16.760 Okay.

01:22:16.920 I don't care what pronouns they use.

01:22:18.840 And I use they, so I guess I'm okay.

01:22:20.580 I don't care what pronouns they happen to be using.

01:22:23.180 Yeah.

01:22:23.440 But I will say this.

01:22:25.360 The op-ed went on to argue because they closed this site down because it was essentially

01:22:31.080 a giant front for underage male prostitution for men.

01:22:36.080 Oh, my gosh.

01:22:37.080 And there was all sorts of problems with that.

01:22:41.880 Apparently, there's some legal issues that go along with underage prostitution.

01:22:46.220 Oh, really?

01:22:46.640 Yeah.

01:22:46.920 I'm not exactly familiar with all the details.

01:22:49.120 But it was apparently a lot of young, this is what she says, many gay, bisexual, and transgender

01:22:55.980 young adults threw them into turmoil as their main source of income had been ripped away

01:23:01.340 due to irresponsible and archaic views of sex work.

01:23:05.400 Oh, my gosh.

01:23:06.460 So, this person's helping with your nuclear waste problem.

01:23:10.000 Congratulations, America.

01:23:11.500 You've won nothing.

01:23:13.360 You get zero points.

01:23:14.780 And may God have mercy on your soul.

01:23:17.560 That's the way.

01:23:19.180 That's the way this country operates right now.

01:23:21.720 Yep.

01:23:22.000 You're rewarded for that.

01:23:23.340 For that.

01:23:24.020 Mm-hmm.

01:23:24.560 Mm-hmm.

01:23:24.760 Let me talk to you about Rough Greens.

01:23:43.140 I have three dogs.

01:23:45.220 Three dogs in the house right now.

01:23:46.360 We have a little puppy, Ivy.

01:23:48.740 We have a medium-aged dog, a midlife crisis type of dog, Piper.

01:23:53.500 And we have President Miles, who is 147 years old, but much more coherent than the President

01:24:01.440 of the United States.

01:24:02.320 That's why we call him President Miles.

01:24:03.460 He kind of is running the country at this point.

01:24:05.360 He sleeps about 18 hours a day, maybe 20.

01:24:08.300 But occasionally, he's awake.

01:24:09.600 And that's more than you can say about Joe Biden.

01:24:11.920 If you love your dog, and I know you do, you've got to give him all the food and the

01:24:15.840 nutrients that they need.

01:24:16.880 It's not just about some of these foods, just like dead food.

01:24:19.440 You need to be able to give them Rough Greens, because Rough Greens is not a food.

01:24:22.740 You just sprinkle it on top of the food, and your dog will go crazy for it no matter

01:24:25.680 what age they are.

01:24:26.960 Give them the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the things your dog needs to be healthier.

01:24:32.300 You've got to give it a shot.

01:24:33.720 Check it out right now.

01:24:34.780 Get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog to try out.

01:24:36.960 All you need to do is pay his shipping.

01:24:38.140 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck, or 833-GLEN33, 833-GLEN33, roughgreens.com slash Beck.

01:25:04.780 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:32.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:39.340 With Pat and Stu, Glenn returns on Monday.

01:25:42.020 Apparently, our skies are so crowded with UFOs now, our naval aviators are having a hard time

01:25:49.880 not running into them.

01:25:51.340 We'll tell you about that, and much more coming up in about 60 seconds.

01:25:55.460 The world of business has gotten harder and harder to exist in, especially for people of integrity,

01:26:04.740 and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

01:26:07.140 Everywhere you look, companies are towing the woke's left line just because they've been bullied into thinking it's the only way.

01:26:12.820 And where the left bullying leaves off, the support of ESG scores and the rest are basically taking over.

01:26:20.680 You need to treasure the few businesses that will stand for the values you believe in.

01:26:23.960 One of those is Patriot Mobile.

01:26:25.200 And the great thing about Patriot Mobile is you don't have to sacrifice anything.

01:26:27.620 You can get the best service that you can get out there for your cell phone and support the causes you believe in,

01:26:34.380 not the ones that the left believes in.

01:26:36.440 If you are paying too much for your cell phone service, make the important switch over to Patriot Mobile today.

01:26:41.280 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT and get free activation with the offer code BECK.

01:26:48.040 Veterans and first responders save even more so you can make the switch today.

01:26:51.160 Between the left, the media, and the rhinos, we need to stick together.

01:26:54.560 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:26:56.360 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or 972-PATRIOT.

01:26:59.000 It's 972-PATRIOT.

01:27:04.400 Stu, what are your thoughts on UFOs?

01:27:08.540 Do you believe that they're from another planet?

01:27:10.880 Do you think they're from this planet?

01:27:12.840 They're just high tech we don't know about.

01:27:14.980 It's secret military stuff.

01:27:17.240 Or is it from somewhere else?

01:27:19.360 I don't spend an awful lot of time thinking about this particular topic,

01:27:24.460 but I tend to land on the side of probably some military tech we don't know about.

01:27:31.560 That's kind of where I usually end up to.

01:27:33.320 Yeah.

01:27:33.760 Yeah.

01:27:34.980 But according to this story, they're so prevalent that I, I don't know,

01:27:40.640 they're crowding our skies with so many UFOs.

01:27:44.060 In April 2014, four naval aviators narrowly escaped disaster.

01:27:49.360 Just as they entered highly controlled airspace for a training exercise,

01:27:53.460 their two FAA-18F fighter jets nearly collided with a UFO.

01:27:59.460 To the frustration of dozens of their fellow aviators,

01:28:02.760 such a near catastrophe was inevitable.

01:28:05.500 For months before and after,

01:28:07.700 air crews flying in exclusive use training areas off the U.S. East Coast

01:28:13.640 frequently observed unknown objects exhibiting highly anomalous flight characteristics.

01:28:19.480 Despite the collision hazard posed by the UFOs,

01:28:22.100 aviators lacked a formal mechanism to report the mysterious objects.

01:28:26.080 Apparently, they couldn't report it to the Pentagon,

01:28:28.200 so they, you know, their frustration level rose because it's a big problem to them.

01:28:33.960 And what I had heard up until recently was that they'd never fired on them,

01:28:39.120 but apparently they have fired on them.

01:28:41.220 I don't think they've ever hit anything.

01:28:43.340 So it's a, it's, it's a really strange problem.

01:28:47.340 In one UFO incident,

01:28:48.920 an aviator reported that he had never seen anything like this before.

01:28:52.480 In another encounter,

01:28:53.840 an aviator noticed an object with flight characteristics,

01:28:56.820 unlike anything I'd ever seen in my redacted years of redacted service.

01:29:04.020 Implying a particular anomalous encounter.

01:29:07.220 Yet another pilot's report states that she had never seen redacted like it.

01:29:14.740 Are these redacting the swears?

01:29:17.660 It feels like all these are just swears.

01:29:18.920 I don't know.

01:29:19.460 Go back and read that and think about the,

01:29:20.860 go back to the redacted parts here.

01:29:22.440 She had never seen redacted like it.

01:29:25.760 So could that be,

01:29:26.640 she'd never seen anything like it?

01:29:28.400 Why do you have to,

01:29:29.160 do you have to redact the word anything?

01:29:30.860 I think it might've been a swear.

01:29:32.060 I've never seen S like this.

01:29:34.100 Okay, probably, yes.

01:29:35.520 You think?

01:29:36.140 They're not supposed to be redacting swears out of government documents,

01:29:38.720 are they?

01:29:39.020 I don't, I don't know.

01:29:40.660 Maybe they don't like people to think that they're naval aviators swear.

01:29:45.000 Yeah, because swearing never happens in the military.

01:29:48.060 If there's one thing we know about the military,

01:29:50.520 never any naughty words used.

01:29:52.240 The UFO did not change position like an aircraft would,

01:29:58.820 and it was too high to be a ship.

01:30:01.320 I thought you didn't redact something there for a good part of that word ship.

01:30:05.280 I was like,

01:30:05.920 uh-oh, no, that's supposed to be redacted, Pat.

01:30:08.020 No.

01:30:09.220 For fighter pilots armed with an array of advanced sensors,

01:30:12.620 the confusion and bewilderment reflected in the reports is striking.

01:30:16.100 One aviator had a difficult time explaining the redacted.

01:30:21.620 In another incident,

01:30:23.320 a pilot could only describe a UFO in a puzzled voice over the radio.

01:30:28.540 Yet another aviator described a UFO that appeared,

01:30:31.640 as odd as it sounds, to be redacted.

01:30:35.820 So this is what I knew was going to happen when they released this report.

01:30:39.740 Everything interesting was going to be redacted.

01:30:41.580 Right.

01:30:41.840 And we're going to find out nothing about this ever.

01:30:44.180 So, I don't know.

01:30:46.840 You know, what are you protecting us from?

01:30:48.980 I think they're protecting their military secrets.

01:30:51.220 That's what I think they're doing.

01:30:52.220 I think so, but I mean, who knows?

01:30:54.260 I hope so.

01:30:55.200 Because if it's China or Russia, then we're in real trouble.

01:30:57.580 And if it's China or Russia,

01:30:58.780 you would think they would have already done whatever it is

01:31:01.080 they're going to do with this new tech, right?

01:31:03.840 Yeah, I mean, like, and really,

01:31:05.240 they're going to risk this stuff being seen.

01:31:08.940 And a lot of this stuff happened over the United States

01:31:11.180 or close to the United States.

01:31:12.680 Like, that would not be the way.

01:31:14.740 It just doesn't seem plausible.

01:31:15.520 No, they'd be testing it in their own territory.

01:31:18.240 So this is obviously either from another planet,

01:31:21.780 which I highly doubt,

01:31:23.640 or it's, you know, secret tech that we have

01:31:27.060 that they don't want anybody to know about yet.

01:31:30.380 So that's what I hope it is,

01:31:31.700 because that bodes well for us.

01:31:33.660 I hope so.

01:31:34.520 Man, I hope so.

01:31:35.320 I used to definitely believe this.

01:31:37.580 You know who threw me on that?

01:31:38.660 Because I used to believe even Democratic presidents

01:31:42.200 would be, would have serious interest

01:31:44.720 in making sure our defense was developing

01:31:48.300 the best technology in case we needed to use it.

01:31:52.840 And we might disagree with them

01:31:54.140 and when they would use it or how they would use it.

01:31:57.880 Or maybe we would want them to use it

01:31:59.540 and they didn't use it.

01:32:00.740 But we were all on the same page

01:32:02.240 that we wanted to have the best stuff, right?

01:32:04.360 Like, that's pretty clear.

01:32:05.440 Yes.

01:32:06.000 No, no, no, it's not.

01:32:07.300 Listen to the words of Obama.

01:32:08.680 I mean, they specifically went out

01:32:10.240 and criticized the idea of just developing better weapons.

01:32:13.900 They didn't want to develop them.

01:32:15.480 They outwardly told the American people

01:32:17.500 and much more importantly,

01:32:19.760 our adversaries around the globe,

01:32:21.420 that we didn't want to develop any new weapons.

01:32:25.360 How does that make any sense?

01:32:26.420 That doesn't make any sense.

01:32:27.220 I guess the theory being like,

01:32:29.160 if we tell them we're not going to develop new weapons,

01:32:33.160 then they won't develop new weapons.

01:32:35.480 Right, right.

01:32:36.840 Yeah, that's how this works.

01:32:37.960 I mean, how naive do you have to be to believe that?

01:32:41.420 Okay, if we just stop,

01:32:42.460 if we unilaterally stop developing things,

01:32:45.580 you think the Russians and Chinese would follow suit?

01:32:47.900 No.

01:32:48.220 Not in a million years.

01:32:49.100 Nope.

01:32:49.540 There's absolutely no way,

01:32:50.620 and they've proved that over and over and over and over.

01:32:53.200 Now, hopefully, the only defense of this is

01:32:55.500 you just hope Obama was lying.

01:32:58.140 Yeah.

01:32:58.560 You know, I mean, maybe he was,

01:32:59.980 maybe their military was still doing these things,

01:33:02.740 and just, I mean, again,

01:33:03.560 we hope we never have to use any of them,

01:33:05.800 but you better have them in case you need them.

01:33:08.840 Clearly.

01:33:10.140 And they were talking about these,

01:33:11.500 like, you know, the hypersonic missiles and such

01:33:14.080 that were rumored to be used by,

01:33:16.920 that China has,

01:33:18.100 and Russia was claiming they were using,

01:33:20.180 even though there's been some questions about that.

01:33:22.320 But China has them, seemingly for sure,

01:33:25.040 and the military experts,

01:33:27.680 the people who are watching this stuff every day,

01:33:30.400 many of them with former military experience,

01:33:32.160 are saying that they're way ahead of us on this stuff.

01:33:34.440 We don't have any defenses for it,

01:33:36.280 and they are way ahead of development of these weapons.

01:33:40.340 Which follows exactly to...

01:33:42.700 Seems impossible to believe.

01:33:43.860 Seems exactly,

01:33:44.480 it's exactly what Obama advocated for.

01:33:47.120 All their tech,

01:33:47.140 all the tech that they do have

01:33:48.520 has been stolen from us.

01:33:50.520 I know,

01:33:51.040 but, you know,

01:33:51.640 they stole a bunch from us,

01:33:52.600 and then they advanced it,

01:33:53.820 who knows?

01:33:55.040 Who knows how they're doing it?

01:33:56.060 That would suck if that's true.

01:33:57.020 Yeah, if that's true,

01:33:57.840 that's really, really bad.

01:33:59.220 And it can only happen

01:34:00.540 when you have people

01:34:02.420 who are ideologically committed

01:34:04.160 to the United States

01:34:05.680 not being the global superpower.

01:34:07.400 And we know,

01:34:08.360 I mean, Obama,

01:34:09.140 you know,

01:34:09.320 Biden is committed to

01:34:11.200 God only knows what.

01:34:12.300 I mean,

01:34:12.460 I don't know that he has any values at all.

01:34:14.680 We just know he's terrible at his job.

01:34:16.780 Oh, well,

01:34:17.100 Mitt Romney said

01:34:17.940 he's a genuinely good human being.

01:34:21.540 Which I genuinely don't believe.

01:34:24.580 No.

01:34:25.200 No, he's really,

01:34:25.860 I mean, like,

01:34:26.300 He's not.

01:34:26.740 He's despicable.

01:34:27.580 He lies every single day

01:34:29.520 to the American people.

01:34:29.540 He seems to have some sort of ethic,

01:34:33.140 Biden,

01:34:33.520 like,

01:34:33.860 to the point,

01:34:34.520 like,

01:34:34.680 I think his actions with Hunter Biden

01:34:36.500 are interesting to me,

01:34:37.560 because

01:34:37.860 he does seem to have that ethic

01:34:41.280 of defending his family.

01:34:43.320 Yeah,

01:34:43.520 I think he has that.

01:34:44.760 And that's not a good,

01:34:46.100 it's not a good ethic

01:34:46.920 when your family's committing crimes.

01:34:48.300 That's not something to be admired

01:34:49.500 when your family's committing crimes.

01:34:51.620 And,

01:34:51.860 but it also could very well just be

01:34:54.000 he likes the money

01:34:54.820 that Hunter brings in,

01:34:55.880 the 10% for the big guy,

01:34:57.160 you know?

01:34:57.740 Yeah.

01:34:57.920 It might just be that.

01:34:59.320 It might just be that he sees

01:35:00.880 the downfall

01:35:03.580 of his own presidency

01:35:05.160 if the Hunter Biden stuff comes out,

01:35:07.220 so he defends him that way.

01:35:08.260 But when you,

01:35:08.720 when you hear the text messages

01:35:10.420 and stuff that's come out

01:35:11.720 from,

01:35:12.300 from the laptop,

01:35:13.600 it really gives you the,

01:35:15.300 it does give you the feeling

01:35:16.540 of an empathetic father

01:35:17.820 who's just absolutely

01:35:19.140 has no idea

01:35:19.900 how to help his kid.

01:35:20.840 Yeah,

01:35:21.020 it does.

01:35:21.480 And I think that's part of it

01:35:22.420 with,

01:35:22.660 with Joe Biden.

01:35:23.740 I mean,

01:35:23.880 he realizes his son is a,

01:35:25.500 is it,

01:35:25.960 is a catastrophe

01:35:26.980 on the level

01:35:27.820 only measured by

01:35:28.740 Joe Biden's presidency.

01:35:30.620 The life of Hunter Biden

01:35:32.300 and Joe Biden's presidency

01:35:33.980 are equally terrible things.

01:35:36.840 But,

01:35:37.680 you know,

01:35:38.200 I'm sure that would

01:35:38.820 rip a father apart.

01:35:40.720 Oh,

01:35:41.320 yeah.

01:35:41.940 Absolutely.

01:35:42.560 And of course,

01:35:43.040 he's done.

01:35:44.060 When your son is an absolute

01:35:45.400 douchebag.

01:35:46.180 Yeah.

01:35:47.120 Who's,

01:35:47.600 you know,

01:35:48.320 cheating on his wife

01:35:49.020 with hookers

01:35:49.660 and strippers

01:35:50.380 and all of that stuff

01:35:51.660 and doing drugs

01:35:52.540 on a regular basis

01:35:53.500 and,

01:35:54.180 uh,

01:35:56.100 ignoring children

01:35:57.520 that he's had

01:35:58.260 with other women,

01:35:59.200 with other strippers.

01:36:00.320 and I,

01:36:01.000 I mean,

01:36:01.400 there is so much

01:36:02.320 there with Hunter Biden.

01:36:03.520 Yeah.

01:36:04.060 And it's not to say

01:36:04.760 that I'm not arguing

01:36:05.500 that Joe Biden's

01:36:06.220 a good dad

01:36:06.980 for doing that.

01:36:07.640 I mean,

01:36:07.760 it's a terrible thing.

01:36:08.580 Your kid,

01:36:09.660 what he was doing

01:36:10.800 with his son,

01:36:12.040 at least according

01:36:12.620 to these text messages,

01:36:14.280 you know,

01:36:14.520 his kid would have

01:36:15.720 no money

01:36:16.260 because he blows,

01:36:17.100 blows it all

01:36:17.620 on cocaine

01:36:18.080 and hookers

01:36:18.700 and then comes,

01:36:19.840 he blows his money

01:36:21.020 almost as fast

01:36:22.500 as his dad

01:36:23.760 blows taxpayer money.

01:36:25.160 Yes.

01:36:26.260 So,

01:36:26.660 yeah.

01:36:27.900 So he,

01:36:28.640 Hunter blows

01:36:29.420 all of his money

01:36:30.020 on cocaine

01:36:30.600 and hookers

01:36:31.220 and then says,

01:36:32.960 okay,

01:36:33.260 dad,

01:36:33.700 I'm finally okay.

01:36:35.080 Manipulating his father,

01:36:36.020 I think,

01:36:36.400 and saying,

01:36:36.940 okay,

01:36:37.520 I'm going to go,

01:36:38.440 I'm going to go back

01:36:39.200 and I'm going to go

01:36:39.600 to rehab now,

01:36:40.380 daddy.

01:36:41.180 And,

01:36:41.740 but I'm just a little

01:36:42.760 short on money.

01:36:43.540 Can you please help me?

01:36:44.900 And he does.

01:36:45.780 And stupid Joe Biden.

01:36:46.580 He does.

01:36:47.060 Sends him tens

01:36:47.920 of thousands of dollars,

01:36:48.920 which he then

01:36:49.440 spends on more hookers

01:36:50.500 and does not go to rehab.

01:36:52.180 Yeah.

01:36:52.720 Now,

01:36:53.240 that's not a,

01:36:53.980 that's not a,

01:36:54.880 it might be a father

01:36:55.860 who really does want to help,

01:36:57.320 but is completely naive

01:36:59.040 and failing at that.

01:37:00.580 It could be,

01:37:01.300 that could be the story there.

01:37:02.760 But can't give him

01:37:03.600 the tough love he needs.

01:37:04.680 No.

01:37:05.240 I think that's quite clear.

01:37:06.800 Yeah.

01:37:07.280 You know,

01:37:07.800 and his life

01:37:09.460 has been a disaster,

01:37:11.220 you know,

01:37:11.680 mostly from his own doing,

01:37:13.420 but his dad has not helped.

01:37:14.740 And I would think

01:37:15.420 that it would be

01:37:16.420 kind of a problem

01:37:17.140 within the family

01:37:17.940 of Hunter,

01:37:19.440 hooking up

01:37:20.120 with his dead brother's

01:37:21.820 wife,

01:37:22.980 widow.

01:37:24.000 That is,

01:37:25.120 that seems like a sleazy

01:37:26.100 kind of move there.

01:37:27.360 It's one of the strangest things

01:37:28.280 I've ever heard

01:37:28.720 in my entire life.

01:37:29.420 Yeah.

01:37:29.900 It's weird.

01:37:30.900 And sadly,

01:37:32.460 it was his daughter

01:37:33.520 that discovered it,

01:37:34.500 apparently,

01:37:35.180 and then told the mother.

01:37:38.140 And that's how she found out.

01:37:40.380 And they made a statement

01:37:41.160 at the time.

01:37:41.660 It was like,

01:37:42.400 you know,

01:37:42.760 it's been a complicated time.

01:37:45.000 It was like,

01:37:45.680 it was not like,

01:37:46.500 I can't believe

01:37:47.180 my son is doing this.

01:37:48.340 He's out of control.

01:37:49.240 It was like,

01:37:49.940 you know,

01:37:50.360 it's been a complicated time.

01:37:51.620 It's been a complicated time

01:37:52.320 and they're finding their peace

01:37:53.440 in a certain way.

01:37:55.020 And we,

01:37:55.220 we think,

01:37:56.180 we ask for privacy

01:37:57.300 in this time.

01:37:58.180 You know,

01:37:58.600 it was not,

01:37:59.280 it wasn't a full-throated endorsement,

01:38:00.820 I wouldn't say,

01:38:01.440 of the relationship,

01:38:02.400 but it was not.

01:38:03.820 I mean,

01:38:04.360 how,

01:38:04.600 you know,

01:38:04.880 I can't even imagine.

01:38:06.320 You go through

01:38:06.800 a terrible situation

01:38:08.100 where your son dies,

01:38:10.000 he's married to someone,

01:38:11.000 and then your other son

01:38:12.100 starts hooking up with her.

01:38:13.240 I mean,

01:38:13.460 like,

01:38:13.620 that is like,

01:38:14.340 uncool.

01:38:16.000 That is an understatement,

01:38:18.040 Pat.

01:38:18.280 That is an understatement.

01:38:19.820 Yeah.

01:38:20.160 Right there.

01:38:20.900 That's not cool.

01:38:21.740 I mean,

01:38:21.900 that's similar to the

01:38:22.620 Gavin Newsom thing,

01:38:23.440 right?

01:38:23.660 Like you,

01:38:24.460 it's one thing

01:38:25.360 for the guy you're working for,

01:38:27.500 this political leader,

01:38:28.520 to be having an affair.

01:38:30.900 Mm-hmm.

01:38:31.500 But then when it's your wife

01:38:32.920 that he's sleeping with,

01:38:34.040 you get a little more upset,

01:38:35.860 you know?

01:38:36.580 Yeah.

01:38:36.920 And that's what happened

01:38:37.640 with Gavin Newsom

01:38:38.360 when he slept with

01:38:39.100 his best friend's wife

01:38:40.180 and his political advisor's wife.

01:38:42.500 Again,

01:38:42.780 none of these things

01:38:43.660 matter to Democrats.

01:38:45.060 So it's perfectly fine.

01:38:46.180 None of it matters.

01:38:46.820 I mean,

01:38:46.920 don't even worry about it.

01:38:48.140 That's their personal life.

01:38:49.440 That doesn't mean

01:38:49.900 they can't govern.

01:38:51.840 Oh,

01:38:52.280 okay.

01:38:52.960 All right.

01:38:53.620 Yeah.

01:38:53.800 But I mean,

01:38:54.180 look at what we,

01:38:54.880 we just covered the story before.

01:38:56.740 He has this relationship

01:38:57.700 where he's constantly funneling money

01:39:00.180 to Hunter Biden

01:39:00.880 and seemingly get it,

01:39:02.180 getting it from his business.

01:39:03.480 And a lot of money.

01:39:04.400 A lot of money.

01:39:05.140 In the case you're talking about,

01:39:06.240 it was like $50,000

01:39:07.220 over like a couple of weeks.

01:39:09.340 Mm-hmm.

01:39:09.940 50 grand.

01:39:10.920 It's a lot.

01:39:11.240 Yeah.

01:39:11.720 And where are you getting that?

01:39:13.240 I thought you were just this humble

01:39:14.940 middle-class lunchbox guy.

01:39:17.920 Middle-class Joe.

01:39:18.520 Who was making,

01:39:19.200 you know,

01:39:19.880 top 5% earnings

01:39:21.340 in the country

01:39:21.940 for the past 40 years.

01:39:23.180 Just middle-class Joe.

01:39:24.340 Right.

01:39:24.720 That's all.

01:39:25.320 Because everyone's like,

01:39:25.920 oh,

01:39:26.080 well,

01:39:26.220 he just was a senator.

01:39:27.760 Yeah,

01:39:27.880 well,

01:39:27.980 he's making basically,

01:39:30.040 you know,

01:39:30.840 executive corporate money

01:39:32.780 for his,

01:39:33.700 I mean,

01:39:33.980 that's,

01:39:34.180 what are they making?

01:39:34.580 A couple hundred thousand dollars a year?

01:39:35.880 And there's more than that coming in.

01:39:38.180 A lot.

01:39:38.600 Oh,

01:39:38.760 yeah,

01:39:38.880 and we know there's a lot more than that.

01:39:39.940 He's made millions off of his book deals

01:39:42.220 and all the other shady things he's been up to.

01:39:44.400 And his son's shady deals in the Ukraine and China.

01:39:47.980 And you know,

01:39:48.520 Hunter has information

01:39:50.060 that if utilized

01:39:51.880 would destroy,

01:39:53.080 would destroy Joe Biden's presidency.

01:39:55.280 Yeah.

01:39:55.660 Oh,

01:39:55.880 if the media listened to it.

01:39:57.080 Now they would just immediately dismiss Hunter Biden

01:39:58.900 as a crack addict

01:39:59.720 and try to brush it off.

01:40:01.280 But we know

01:40:02.240 Hunter does know enough about this

01:40:04.560 to do severe damage to his dad.

01:40:08.440 So really,

01:40:09.840 you know,

01:40:10.260 Joe Biden is incentivized

01:40:12.380 to try to help him.

01:40:14.600 I mean,

01:40:14.760 this could very well be

01:40:15.780 why 950,000 barrels of oil

01:40:18.240 went to a company

01:40:19.220 that Hunter Biden was working with.

01:40:20.460 It very well could.

01:40:21.220 This is why you don't allow these things to happen.

01:40:23.200 You can't be compromised like this.

01:40:25.920 That's the problem.

01:40:27.780 So we don't know the results of those things,

01:40:30.020 but we know that Biden is doing a terrible job

01:40:32.440 and many of his decisions

01:40:33.580 don't make sense

01:40:34.840 to people

01:40:35.940 that think rationally.

01:40:38.200 And a lot of it,

01:40:38.980 I think he gets excused

01:40:39.960 because he looks incoherent

01:40:41.700 and looks like

01:40:42.660 a person

01:40:43.440 who should be in a nursing home immediately.

01:40:46.220 And so people brush those things off.

01:40:48.260 But it's all these explained actions.

01:40:49.940 You wonder how many of them

01:40:51.840 are to cover

01:40:53.240 for previous

01:40:55.060 activities

01:40:56.720 activities that would be questionable

01:40:57.980 if seen by the public.

01:41:00.660 Yeah.

01:41:01.520 Yeah.

01:41:01.880 I don't think the number is zero.

01:41:03.320 No, it's not.

01:41:04.540 When it comes to those explanations.

01:41:06.080 Triple eight,

01:41:06.680 seven,

01:41:06.880 two,

01:41:07.020 seven,

01:41:07.340 B E C K.

01:41:08.080 More patents.

01:41:08.620 Two for Glenn.

01:42:26.800 CNN's ratings are

01:42:27.820 kind of in the toilet.

01:42:30.120 What?

01:42:30.760 Yeah.

01:42:30.980 Well, you are surprised by that.

01:42:32.700 What?

01:42:33.440 Took Stoop by complete surprise.

01:42:35.660 I'm shocked by this.

01:42:37.320 Now, right?

01:42:38.120 Now, you're not talking about

01:42:38.760 CNN Plus's ratings

01:42:40.000 because those have got to be good.

01:42:41.060 No, because that doesn't exist.

01:42:42.460 CNN Plus's.

01:42:43.540 Bad ratings on CNN Plus

01:42:44.780 do not exist.

01:42:45.260 That I agree with.

01:42:46.080 That is true.

01:42:46.780 Right, because they don't

01:42:48.220 have any ratings.

01:42:50.700 But the major changes

01:42:52.040 they've made already

01:42:52.820 in leadership and philosophy

01:42:54.160 and structure

01:42:54.900 have not yet borne fruit

01:42:56.940 in the ratings.

01:42:58.000 That's stunning.

01:42:59.060 Ha!

01:42:59.680 That's stunning, Pat.

01:43:01.300 The numbers are indeed

01:43:03.780 a cause for concern

01:43:04.900 according to this article.

01:43:06.220 In June,

01:43:06.800 CNN primetime shows

01:43:09.140 averaged

01:43:09.960 654,000 nightly viewers.

01:43:14.100 In primetime?

01:43:15.260 Wow.

01:43:15.720 That's terrible.

01:43:16.360 Really, really bad.

01:43:17.440 That's really terrible.

01:43:19.860 148,000 in the demo.

01:43:22.420 So, anything.

01:43:23.980 To give you an idea,

01:43:25.240 that's less than what

01:43:26.680 Glenn was doing

01:43:27.560 at CNN Headline News.

01:43:30.400 Years and years ago.

01:43:31.940 Yeah, but no one knew

01:43:33.240 who Glenn was.

01:43:34.220 He had just started

01:43:34.860 at CNN Headline News

01:43:36.220 and he was out doing

01:43:36.860 those numbers.

01:43:37.540 Glenn's repeat show

01:43:39.440 overnight numbers

01:43:40.900 were bigger than this.

01:43:42.840 I think by a lot.

01:43:45.300 And the ratings

01:43:46.280 for Brian Stelter's show,

01:43:49.200 Reliable Sources,

01:43:50.540 I stumbled into the fact

01:43:52.820 that I don't even know

01:43:53.640 when that's on.

01:43:54.760 Do you?

01:43:55.080 I feel like it's

01:43:55.660 on the weekends, maybe?

01:43:56.860 We did discover

01:43:58.320 it's a Sunday morning show.

01:43:59.740 Oh, okay.

01:44:00.240 At 11 a.m., I think.

01:44:02.040 I mean, I do see clips

01:44:02.880 of it from time to time,

01:44:03.680 but I'm not a weekly viewer.

01:44:06.080 That is surprising to me.

01:44:07.400 I'm sure it's a great show.

01:44:08.220 You don't love his show.

01:44:08.700 I don't catch it

01:44:09.840 all that often.

01:44:10.920 So, his ratings

01:44:11.920 are 585,000.

01:44:13.980 Total viewers,

01:44:15.420 79,000 in the demo.

01:44:17.800 Oh, my God.

01:44:18.040 How do they continue

01:44:19.440 to leave him on the air?

01:44:21.100 How is it possible?

01:44:22.500 I don't understand it.

01:44:23.840 Yeah, I don't.

01:44:24.420 It doesn't make any sense,

01:44:25.380 especially with this new direction.

01:44:26.960 You know?

01:44:27.480 Well, they keep saying

01:44:28.480 we're going to get rid

01:44:29.140 of all the bias.

01:44:30.260 We're going to get rid

01:44:30.800 of the people

01:44:31.220 who just have opinions

01:44:32.240 and we're going to replace

01:44:33.160 them with news people.

01:44:34.520 I've yet to see that happen.

01:44:36.040 Yeah.

01:44:36.480 What are you going to do that?

01:44:37.220 I don't see much movement.

01:44:38.100 I mean, they did.

01:44:38.660 It did just.

01:44:39.860 They've only been in there

01:44:40.700 for a couple of months.

01:44:41.600 I mean, I don't know.

01:44:42.420 But you'd think.

01:44:44.820 I would think

01:44:45.620 that there's a little urgency,

01:44:47.560 although urgency

01:44:48.240 is a white supremacy situation.

01:44:50.660 What do you mean?

01:44:51.240 Well, when you're urgent,

01:44:52.880 that's white supremacy.

01:44:54.400 When you have a sense of urgency?

01:44:55.580 Yes.

01:44:55.980 Like you think something's important

01:44:57.280 so you want to do it

01:44:57.960 as quickly as possible.

01:44:59.260 Yes.

01:44:59.600 I guess it's high

01:45:00.460 on your priority list.

01:45:01.220 I'm not going to remember.

01:45:02.260 Did we do the story

01:45:03.260 on this show

01:45:03.680 or was it mine?

01:45:04.500 I remember.

01:45:05.500 Because all the details

01:45:07.620 are a bit fuzzy right now,

01:45:08.800 but we'll tell you

01:45:09.580 about that eventually.

01:45:10.900 But as for CNN,

01:45:14.360 it's, I mean,

01:45:15.520 it's indicative

01:45:16.060 of what happened

01:45:16.900 to CNN Plus

01:45:17.660 because they thought

01:45:18.280 that was going to explode

01:45:19.220 for some reason.

01:45:20.240 I don't know

01:45:20.640 where they got that research

01:45:21.800 that anybody cared

01:45:23.200 about seeing more CNN

01:45:24.520 than they are already

01:45:25.960 not watching.

01:45:28.320 And then they drew

01:45:29.900 10,000 total subscribers.

01:45:32.560 10,000.

01:45:33.880 They tried to blow

01:45:34.760 that number up

01:45:35.440 and lie about it,

01:45:36.500 but 10,000,

01:45:38.060 I don't even,

01:45:38.800 I would be surprised

01:45:39.720 if they even hit

01:45:40.300 that number.

01:45:40.820 I would too.

01:45:42.340 I would too.

01:45:45.280 By the way,

01:45:46.400 so, you know,

01:45:47.060 Discovery is the company

01:45:47.960 that took over, basically.

01:45:49.820 Right.

01:45:50.080 They have Discovery Plus.

01:45:51.700 The thought was

01:45:52.220 they would roll

01:45:52.840 CNN Plus into that.

01:45:54.280 This weekend

01:45:54.860 on Discovery Plus,

01:45:56.000 they have the documentary

01:45:57.140 that you may have heard of

01:45:58.760 during the January 6th hearings.

01:46:02.260 And the only reason

01:46:02.840 I'm mildly interested in this

01:46:04.160 is because it's actually

01:46:05.380 like Donald Trump

01:46:06.280 talking about this

01:46:07.200 at the moment.

01:46:08.220 Oh, wow.

01:46:08.600 It's Donald Trump.

01:46:09.460 It's Ivanka Trump.

01:46:10.380 It's Jared Kushner.

01:46:11.380 It's all the big people.

01:46:12.800 They did this at the time

01:46:14.060 with sort of

01:46:15.400 a friendly documentary

01:46:16.480 to kind of, you know,

01:46:18.060 show the history

01:46:18.960 of the administration.

01:46:20.380 And so they're talking

01:46:21.000 about this stuff

01:46:21.500 in real time.

01:46:22.120 And I don't know

01:46:22.720 how the documentary

01:46:23.460 turned out,

01:46:24.500 if it wound up being

01:46:24.920 a negative piece or not,

01:46:25.820 but it's supposed to air

01:46:26.440 on Discovery Plus

01:48:25.300 What city do you do traffic

01:48:26.240 in your local area?

01:48:27.680 All local areas.

01:48:28.920 Yeah.

01:48:29.240 It's pretty wide ranging.

01:48:30.820 It's going to be

01:48:31.120 a long segment.

01:48:32.080 Yeah.

01:48:32.480 You should check it out sometime.

01:48:34.420 You've got a nationwide audience

01:48:46.520 or anytime you want

01:48:47.440 on podcast.

01:48:48.240 And then I understand

01:48:49.100 you have something going on

01:48:50.200 this very day.

01:48:52.120 Big night tonight.

01:48:52.840 It's Power Hour night.

01:48:54.080 Yes.

01:48:54.340 Stu does Power Hour dot com.

01:48:55.660 Go there.

01:48:56.180 Share it.

01:48:56.720 Like it.

01:48:57.160 Do all the things.

01:48:58.140 Give the machine

01:48:59.560 what they want.

01:49:00.820 Algorithmic engagement.

01:49:02.640 Yes.

01:49:03.560 Feed the beasts.

01:49:05.020 We're doing the show

01:49:05.820 on YouTube tonight.

01:49:07.000 YouTube dot com

01:49:07.660 slash Stu does America.

01:49:08.900 It happens at 9 p.m.

01:49:09.680 right after our regular show.

01:49:10.660 So you get some news of the day

01:49:12.480 and then watch us

01:49:13.560 do the old drinking game

01:49:15.460 Power Hour

01:49:15.980 trying to talk politics

01:49:17.100 which is very very difficult to do.

01:49:18.780 It gets harder and harder

01:49:19.760 as the hour goes on.

01:49:20.860 So I can imagine.

01:49:21.720 It's a fun kickoff

01:49:23.080 to the weekend

01:49:23.640 if anything else

01:49:24.620 and check it out tonight.

01:49:26.040 Stu does Power Hour dot com.

01:49:28.020 Live it.

01:49:28.560 Love it.

01:49:29.260 Do it.

01:49:29.600 You're just a woman.

01:49:30.900 Thank you.

01:49:32.180 I appreciate that.

01:49:33.260 I want to give you this

01:49:34.440 this rant from Sean Trendy.

01:49:37.440 He is at Real Clear Politics.

01:49:39.420 He's the senior elections

01:49:40.580 analyst at Real Clear Politics

01:49:41.760 and I honestly don't know

01:49:43.120 his political leaning

01:49:44.340 really at all.

01:49:45.240 He was at AEI for a while

01:49:46.760 which is sort of a

01:49:47.860 right leaning think tank

01:49:49.620 but I've never heard him

01:49:51.580 give him you know

01:49:53.000 like I'm a Democrat

01:49:54.180 I'm a Republican

01:49:54.940 I don't know what his politics are.

01:49:56.120 I kind of sense that

01:49:57.040 he's like a moderate Republican

01:49:58.300 maybe.

01:49:59.060 Okay.

01:49:59.300 But he had a really

01:50:00.100 interesting rant

01:50:01.280 and I want to

01:50:01.780 tell me if this rings true

01:50:03.680 to you Pat.

01:50:04.840 Okay.

01:50:05.120 The roots of the GOP's base

01:50:07.540 the GOP base's disdain

01:50:09.020 for the old establishment

01:50:10.040 are deep

01:50:10.580 but they trace back

01:50:11.460 to the Reagan years.

01:50:12.700 For decades

01:50:13.220 rank and file Republicans

01:50:14.360 were told

01:50:15.040 we want to do the things

01:50:16.400 that you want to do

01:50:17.320 but we've only ever had

01:50:19.620 the Senate and the presidency

01:50:20.720 our hands are tied.

01:50:22.880 So in 2000

01:50:23.940 Republicans get the trifecta.

01:50:26.440 Then

01:50:26.880 one of their moderates

01:50:28.460 Right.

01:50:28.800 They had the presidency

01:50:29.580 they had the House

01:50:30.720 they had the Senate.

01:50:31.720 Yeah.

01:50:32.400 So they should have been able

01:50:33.280 to do whatever they wanted to do.

01:50:35.840 Then

01:50:36.160 one of their moderates

01:50:37.380 who the GOP

01:50:38.320 had just spent tons of money

01:50:39.680 getting re-elected in 2000

01:50:41.060 flips to the Democrats.

01:50:42.900 Remember that one?

01:50:44.280 Yeah.

01:50:44.440 Was that

01:50:44.720 Arnold Spector?

01:50:46.280 No.

01:50:46.500 That was before Spector.

01:50:47.100 It was before Spector.

01:50:48.160 Oh God.

01:50:48.640 I can't think of the guy's name.

01:50:49.300 Was it Vermont?

01:50:51.120 Vermont or New Hampshire?

01:50:51.960 I can't remember.

01:50:52.780 It's been a while

01:50:53.380 but I do remember that happening.

01:50:55.060 That was a big deal

01:50:56.080 at the time.

01:50:56.740 Okay.

01:50:56.960 Two years later

01:50:58.100 Republicans get the trifecta

01:51:00.020 in a historic midterm win.

01:51:02.040 Well

01:51:02.340 we need a bigger trifecta

01:51:03.840 is their argument.

01:51:04.920 So in 2004

01:51:05.620 Republicans get a bigger trifecta.

01:51:07.820 What do base Republicans

01:51:09.180 have to show for the Bush years?

01:51:10.940 A tax cut

01:51:11.660 which gets reversed

01:51:12.960 in part in 2012.

01:51:14.400 Yeah.

01:51:14.760 A Medicare prescription

01:51:15.980 drug benefit.

01:51:17.720 Woo!

01:51:18.400 The largest expansion

01:51:19.680 of the welfare state

01:51:20.820 since the Great Society.

01:51:22.420 Yes!

01:51:22.960 Yeah!

01:51:24.320 What a Republican principle

01:51:25.840 that is.

01:51:26.340 Right.

01:51:27.220 Then

01:51:27.500 now that particular

01:51:29.080 prescription drug benefit

01:51:30.380 has most of its market-based

01:51:32.080 sweeteners added

01:51:33.240 to get conservatives

01:51:34.380 to swallow it

01:51:35.140 then removed by Democrats

01:51:36.520 in Obamacare.

01:51:37.940 Jeez.

01:51:38.360 Republicans also

01:51:39.240 for this big trifecta

01:51:40.300 get

01:51:40.540 no child left behind.

01:51:42.560 The federalization

01:51:43.420 of education spending.

01:51:44.800 Right.

01:51:45.020 These were justified

01:51:46.160 at the time

01:51:46.780 with the argument

01:51:47.420 well if we get them

01:51:48.880 off the plate

01:51:49.400 we'll lock in a majority.

01:51:51.420 Then

01:51:51.860 we can do what we want

01:51:53.180 with our trifecta.

01:51:54.300 Right?

01:51:54.500 You remember

01:51:54.780 I remember hearing

01:51:55.620 these pitches

01:51:56.040 from the right.

01:51:57.940 That did not happen

01:51:59.220 because the old establishment

01:52:00.320 screws up the one thing

01:52:01.580 Republicans are overwhelmingly

01:52:02.800 trusted on at the time

01:52:03.940 foreign policy.

01:52:05.880 Okay?

01:52:06.260 Mm-hmm.

01:52:06.520 Now you could point

01:52:07.700 to the judges

01:52:08.340 until 2012

01:52:09.840 when Roberts

01:52:10.720 votes to uphold

01:52:11.800 Obamacare.

01:52:13.640 To be clear

01:52:14.300 Roberts is no suitor

01:52:15.320 that's true

01:52:15.860 but

01:52:16.200 not by much

01:52:17.760 but most Republicans

01:52:19.140 don't care about

01:52:19.900 Citizens United

01:52:20.640 or know what

01:52:21.300 section 4B

01:52:22.100 of the VRA is

01:52:23.200 for a visible

01:52:24.120 political win

01:52:24.940 Roberts blinked.

01:52:27.480 Yes Alito

01:52:28.340 it's also

01:52:29.240 in the Bush years

01:52:30.340 wrote Dobbs

01:52:31.320 we can

01:52:31.700 and we all

01:52:32.460 are very appreciative

01:52:33.660 of that

01:52:34.100 and I

01:52:34.620 I'm a big fan

01:52:35.540 of Alito

01:52:36.040 but do you remember

01:52:37.520 who Bush wanted

01:52:38.400 for that slot?

01:52:40.600 Yeah it was

01:52:41.600 what's her face?

01:52:43.340 Harriet Myers

01:52:43.940 yes Harriet Myers

01:52:45.760 now as Sean

01:52:47.660 Trendy points out

01:52:48.420 Harriet

01:52:48.680 Harry Reid

01:52:50.100 really really liked

01:52:51.700 Harriet Myers

01:52:52.960 which tells you a lot

01:52:54.720 about how she would

01:52:55.560 have been potentially

01:52:56.360 as a jurist.

01:52:58.460 Republicans only got

01:52:59.600 Alito because the base

01:53:00.600 went into open revolt.

01:53:02.280 It's a similar story

01:53:02.940 with Obamacare repeal.

01:53:04.780 We'll force Obama

01:53:05.560 to repeal after

01:53:06.460 the 2010 wave.

01:53:07.840 We'll shut down

01:53:08.600 implementation in 2013.

01:53:10.700 Okay we had the

01:53:11.440 House and Senate

01:53:11.940 in 2015.

01:53:13.220 Then they finally

01:53:13.960 had the trifecta

01:53:14.820 in 2017

01:53:15.600 and repeal gets

01:53:16.700 thwarted by

01:53:17.460 John McCain

01:53:19.040 another Republican.

01:53:20.960 Now the base

01:53:22.800 is also made clear

01:53:23.540 it wasn't fond of

01:53:24.580 a comprehensive

01:53:25.480 immigration reform

01:53:26.440 in 2005

01:53:27.080 which Bush

01:53:28.080 almost pushes

01:53:28.940 through anyway.

01:53:30.500 In 2013

01:53:31.180 a conservative revolt

01:53:33.040 stymies the gang

01:53:34.400 of eight

01:53:35.520 for their

01:53:37.160 immigration reform

01:53:38.060 push.

01:53:39.320 Who does the

01:53:39.640 establishment put

01:53:40.400 hundreds of millions

01:53:43.620 of dollars behind

01:53:44.280 in 2016?

01:53:46.000 Jeb Bush

01:53:46.920 whose brother

01:53:49.320 is viewed as

01:53:49.880 a failure

01:53:50.320 on all fronts

01:53:51.220 by large portions

01:53:52.220 of the base

01:53:56.140 and was being

01:53:56.920 pushed because

01:53:57.680 he speaks

01:53:58.200 Spanish

01:53:58.820 so well

01:53:59.940 he could

01:54:00.260 modulate his

01:54:00.860 accent.

01:54:02.000 Okay.

01:54:03.200 In the meantime

01:54:04.260 Obama is viewed

01:54:05.180 rightly or wrongly

01:54:06.080 as racking up

01:54:06.700 win after win

01:54:07.500 after win

01:54:08.080 and bringing

01:54:08.600 knives to

01:54:09.220 gunfights.

01:54:10.200 Seriously

01:54:10.520 whatever disappointments

01:54:11.420 the Dem base

01:54:12.080 has with him

01:54:12.720 the guy wasn't

01:54:13.460 afraid to fight

01:54:14.140 to push things

01:54:14.740 leftward.

01:54:15.620 There's no doubt

01:54:16.400 that the government

01:54:16.960 is further left

01:54:17.760 on January 19th

01:54:18.860 2017

01:54:19.500 than it was

01:54:20.580 on January 19th

01:54:21.580 2009.

01:54:22.620 He fights for

01:54:23.140 Obamacare

01:54:23.760 after Democrats

01:54:24.680 lose a Senate

01:54:25.580 seat in freaking

01:54:26.480 Massachusetts.

01:54:28.240 After a disastrous

01:54:29.100 Obamacare rollout

01:54:30.180 he goes and sells

01:54:31.060 the hell out of the

01:54:31.780 thing and it ends

01:54:32.760 up hitting

01:54:33.080 enrollment targets.

01:54:34.060 You remember

01:54:34.480 speaking of this

01:54:35.800 remember the

01:54:36.640 website alone

01:54:37.440 on Obamacare

01:54:38.740 the cost

01:54:39.220 was it two

01:54:40.220 billion dollars

01:54:41.300 for a website

01:54:43.280 go to

01:54:44.880 Squarespace.

01:54:45.960 Jeez.

01:54:46.880 Come on.

01:54:47.640 It'll actually

01:54:48.020 work.

01:54:49.020 After getting

01:54:49.320 smacked with a

01:54:50.060 second wave

01:54:50.740 like election

01:54:51.280 in 2014

01:54:52.120 the first

01:54:53.100 president that

01:54:53.800 happens to

01:54:54.340 since the

01:54:55.040 1870s

01:54:56.120 he does

01:54:57.600 immigration

01:54:58.220 reform by

01:54:58.980 executive order

01:54:59.940 and repackages

01:55:01.260 an obvious

01:55:01.980 multilateral

01:55:02.580 treaty as an

01:55:03.460 executive order.

01:55:05.420 Think of that.

01:55:06.960 Why do you

01:55:07.860 think the

01:55:09.240 voter base is

01:55:10.400 so pissed off

01:55:11.080 at establishment

01:55:11.700 Republicans?

01:55:12.260 That is a

01:55:13.080 pretty darn

01:55:13.740 good summary

01:55:14.420 of that story.

01:55:16.440 Yeah and it's

01:55:16.900 why we don't

01:55:17.740 like Republicans

01:55:18.680 as a rule.

01:55:19.620 They never do

01:55:21.020 what they tell us

01:55:21.800 they're going to

01:55:22.620 do.

01:55:23.440 Never.

01:55:24.740 It seems like

01:55:25.960 every time they

01:55:26.780 get the majority

01:55:27.540 they have both

01:55:28.560 the House and

01:55:29.260 the Senate

01:55:29.660 they have the

01:55:31.180 executive branch

01:55:32.100 and they don't

01:55:33.840 want to be too

01:55:34.540 mean.

01:55:35.440 We don't want

01:55:36.020 to abuse our

01:55:36.960 power.

01:55:37.920 Let's give the

01:55:39.300 Democrats a chance

01:55:40.380 to veto a

01:55:41.780 couple of

01:55:42.160 things.

01:55:43.060 Like all the

01:55:44.000 things on our

01:55:44.700 agenda.

01:55:46.080 They haven't

01:55:46.960 really jammed

01:55:47.720 through an

01:55:48.060 agenda since

01:55:48.660 what 1994

01:55:50.140 maybe?

01:55:52.440 When

01:55:52.960 Newt

01:55:53.860 Gingrich and

01:55:55.080 the contract

01:55:55.600 with America

01:55:56.260 and all that

01:55:56.820 stuff which

01:55:57.840 really was

01:55:59.060 great but they

01:55:59.980 haven't done

01:56:00.320 anything great

01:56:00.900 since.

01:56:01.500 I mean I think

01:56:01.760 people would

01:56:02.140 look at Donald

01:56:03.180 Trump's

01:56:03.540 presidency and

01:56:04.140 say that's

01:56:04.440 what we liked

01:56:04.840 about Trump.

01:56:05.420 He was not

01:56:06.140 fearful of those

01:56:07.060 battles which is

01:56:07.760 true.

01:56:08.160 He was not

01:56:09.560 scared of

01:56:10.020 them.

01:56:10.580 I don't know

01:56:11.040 that a lot

01:56:11.940 of the things

01:56:12.240 he wanted to

01:56:12.640 get done he

01:56:13.060 was unable

01:56:13.740 to.

01:56:14.400 Again it

01:56:15.700 doesn't mean

01:56:16.280 you're going

01:56:16.660 to get

01:56:16.900 everything you

01:56:17.320 want to get

01:56:17.720 done done.

01:56:19.660 Trump I

01:56:20.200 think at least

01:56:20.600 gave that

01:56:20.940 outward appearance

01:56:21.740 of I'm

01:56:22.240 fighting for

01:56:22.700 these things

01:56:23.260 and he wasn't

01:56:24.340 shy about

01:56:25.080 talking about

01:56:25.820 it.

01:56:26.400 For example

01:56:26.820 the wall

01:56:27.200 and we know

01:56:27.580 the wall

01:56:27.900 isn't built.

01:56:28.900 I mean we

01:56:29.100 didn't get

01:56:29.480 the wall but

01:56:30.160 he never

01:56:30.900 backed down

01:56:31.520 from wanting

01:56:32.240 it and

01:56:32.760 arguing for

01:56:33.640 it.

01:56:34.100 And you

01:56:34.400 could say

01:56:34.640 the same

01:56:34.940 thing I

01:56:35.180 think about

01:56:35.480 Reagan in

01:56:36.000 a certain

01:56:36.240 sense in

01:56:37.640 that a lot

01:56:38.360 of the

01:56:38.520 stuff he

01:56:38.860 argued for

01:56:39.520 getting rid

01:56:39.980 of the

01:56:40.120 Department

01:56:40.400 of Education

01:56:41.000 he never

01:56:41.800 backed off

01:56:42.320 of those

01:56:42.600 things but

01:56:43.040 he was

01:56:43.240 unable to

01:56:43.700 get them

01:56:43.980 done.

01:56:44.940 Some of

01:56:45.400 that stuff

01:56:45.940 exists with

01:56:47.220 every president.

01:56:48.080 Every president

01:56:48.680 tries to get

01:56:49.260 something done

01:56:49.780 but it

01:56:50.740 seems like

01:56:51.160 there have

01:56:51.640 been many

01:56:52.000 cases where

01:56:52.460 Republicans

01:56:52.960 have almost

01:56:54.360 acted as if

01:56:55.280 here's the

01:56:55.660 thing I

01:56:55.900 really believe

01:56:56.500 in and

01:56:56.820 then over

01:56:57.260 time those

01:56:58.880 things don't

01:56:59.860 seem quite as

01:57:01.480 passionate about

01:57:02.400 them and then

01:57:02.900 all of a sudden

01:57:03.360 they're giving

01:57:03.740 watered down

01:57:04.600 versions of it and

01:57:05.400 all of a sudden

01:57:05.760 you're like wait

01:57:06.140 a minute what's

01:57:06.620 the difference

01:57:06.960 between you and

01:57:08.040 some moderate

01:57:09.380 guy that's you

01:57:10.260 know Paul Ryan's

01:57:11.100 a great example

01:57:11.680 of this.

01:57:12.940 Paul Ryan

01:57:13.360 early Paul Ryan

01:57:14.860 is like an

01:57:15.880 early rock band

01:57:17.120 doing their

01:57:17.520 authentic stuff.

01:57:18.480 You go back

01:57:19.120 and read those

01:57:19.580 early Paul Ryan

01:57:20.440 bills they were

01:57:21.200 good like

01:57:22.440 legitimately good

01:57:23.740 legitimately would

01:57:25.220 move the country

01:57:26.100 in the right

01:57:26.540 direction and

01:57:27.040 make a real

01:57:27.560 difference and

01:57:28.520 every one of

01:57:29.620 his budgets just

01:57:30.340 got softer and

01:57:31.360 softer to the

01:57:32.360 point for

01:57:32.720 eventually he was

01:57:33.660 like doing pop

01:57:34.520 you know he's

01:57:35.380 doing like pop

01:57:36.300 ballads instead

01:57:38.340 of the old good

01:57:39.200 stuff you used to

01:57:39.880 get.

01:57:40.340 Instead of the hard

01:57:40.420 rock he used to

01:57:41.260 play.

01:57:41.460 Right when I used

01:57:42.100 to see him live

01:57:42.840 he was amazing

01:57:43.740 and now he's

01:57:45.420 playing he just

01:57:46.500 covered a

01:57:47.440 Shakira song you

01:57:48.780 know it's like

01:57:49.320 it's not the same

01:57:51.100 it's what it's like

01:57:51.700 and Republicans are

01:57:53.480 used to this and

01:57:54.420 they're sick of it

01:57:55.200 and it happens so

01:57:56.500 often.

01:57:57.860 Whenever we ever

01:57:58.760 seen a hardcore

01:58:00.580 super left-wing

01:58:01.840 Democrat become

01:58:03.640 really moderate

01:58:04.900 and then maybe

01:58:05.740 even slightly to

01:58:07.000 the right.

01:58:07.660 Has that ever

01:58:08.060 happened?

01:58:08.500 I can't think of

01:58:09.100 an instance.

01:58:10.780 Of one freaking

01:58:12.060 example of that.

01:58:13.040 I can give you a

01:58:13.740 dozen instances of

01:58:16.080 Republicans doing

01:58:16.840 John Cornyn here in

01:58:18.020 Texas is a great

01:58:18.900 example of that.

01:58:20.140 When he was first

01:58:20.880 elected he was a

01:58:21.920 solid conservative.

01:58:24.260 Now all he wants

01:58:25.440 to do is reach

01:58:26.320 across the aisle and

01:58:27.160 compromise.

01:58:28.360 Now let's find a

01:58:29.040 way we can all get

01:58:29.860 together.

01:58:30.160 Can't we just get

01:58:30.860 along?

01:58:31.840 Let me shepherd

01:58:33.500 through the gun

01:58:34.500 control bill.

01:58:35.580 Yeah.

01:58:35.900 Which he just did

01:58:36.880 by the way and if

01:58:37.820 anyone in Texas

01:58:38.840 happens to be

01:58:39.580 listening that is

01:58:40.160 thinking maybe I

01:58:40.940 should challenge him

01:58:41.640 in a primary in his

01:58:42.760 next election please

01:58:43.780 remember that bill.

01:58:45.040 Please remember that

01:58:45.940 they he helped

01:58:47.180 shepherd through a

01:58:48.400 gun control bill.

01:58:49.980 The Texas senator who

01:58:52.400 shepherded a gun

01:58:53.740 control bill.

01:58:54.720 Probably would not

01:58:55.200 have happened without

01:58:56.140 him.

01:58:56.420 Yeah would not have

01:58:57.120 I don't think it

01:58:58.140 would happen to Dan

01:58:58.960 Crenshaw.

01:58:59.380 I mean I I he

01:59:02.420 seems to have

01:59:03.080 gone on a leftward

01:59:05.960 journey since coming

01:59:08.880 into office.

01:59:10.500 There's a you know

01:59:11.700 Ryan Paul Ryan was a

01:59:13.080 great example of it.

01:59:14.120 I mean over and over

01:59:15.080 and over and over you

01:59:16.180 see the examples you

01:59:18.200 see you see Republicans

01:59:19.160 doing this Republicans

01:59:20.500 that change parties

01:59:21.760 often.

01:59:22.500 You mentioned

01:59:22.740 Arlen Specter before

01:59:23.600 I still can't think of

01:59:24.720 the guy's name who did

01:59:25.540 it in the early 2000s

01:59:26.560 which was again about

01:59:27.340 control of the Senate.

01:59:28.440 It was a really big

01:59:29.100 deal but you have

01:59:30.360 people you know like

01:59:31.440 you know Charlie

01:59:32.440 Crist bounces back and

01:59:33.520 forth from parties

01:59:34.140 every 10 minutes he's

01:59:35.640 in another party.

01:59:37.040 But it's it's

01:59:37.800 interesting because

01:59:38.400 you're right you

01:59:38.780 don't you do

01:59:39.400 occasionally see

01:59:40.100 Democrats that maybe

01:59:43.020 not as well known

01:59:44.000 you know like the

01:59:45.320 Zell Millers of the

01:59:46.260 world from back in the

01:59:47.100 day who were kind of

01:59:48.300 conservative Democrats

01:59:49.480 anyway and then just

01:59:50.780 okay I can't do be

01:59:51.880 with this party anymore

01:59:52.820 there's they're gone

01:59:53.480 they've gone too

01:59:54.160 far you do see

01:59:55.000 that but but you

01:59:56.140 don't see these like

01:59:57.000 revolutions for like

01:59:58.320 I used to be a

01:59:59.680 hardcore liberal and

02:00:02.060 and now after all the

02:00:03.900 perks the party has

02:00:04.740 given me I'm going to

02:00:05.600 abandon them and go

02:00:06.260 the other way.

02:00:06.920 Yeah it doesn't

02:00:07.360 happen all that much

02:00:08.200 that doesn't happen

02:00:09.220 much.

02:00:09.620 888-727-BECK more

02:00:11.540 coming up.

02:00:14.720 The Glenn Back

02:00:15.800 Program.

02:00:23.480 If you're living with

02:00:30.120 aches and pains

02:00:30.720 especially if they're

02:00:31.620 frequent and nagging

02:00:32.900 and relentless I want

02:00:34.020 you to take a moment

02:00:34.660 and think back to the

02:00:35.640 last time you really

02:00:36.800 felt good.

02:00:37.720 Can you even remember

02:00:38.640 what it felt like?

02:00:39.700 Now here's even a more

02:00:40.760 important question.

02:00:41.760 What would you give to

02:00:42.760 go back to feeling like

02:00:44.000 that again?

02:00:44.800 Maybe it would just be

02:00:45.600 nice to take a stroll

02:00:46.580 with your loved one or

02:00:47.380 play with your

02:00:48.080 grandchildren.

02:00:48.720 I've suffered from

02:00:49.580 persistent crippling pain

02:00:51.600 almost all the time for

02:00:52.820 about five years.

02:00:54.000 When I started taking

02:00:54.760 Relief Factor I took it

02:00:56.260 because my wife made me

02:00:57.220 start taking it.

02:00:58.040 I didn't think it would

02:00:58.680 work for me.

02:00:59.440 Yet here I am today

02:01:00.280 virtually pain free doing

02:01:02.040 the things I love to do

02:01:03.320 all thanks to my

02:01:04.440 wonderful wife and

02:01:05.620 Relief Factor.

02:01:06.500 I love that it's not a

02:01:07.360 drug but it was

02:01:08.100 developed by doctors and

02:01:09.260 about 70% of the people

02:01:10.580 who try it go on to

02:01:11.640 order more.

02:01:12.460 Are you part of that 70%

02:01:13.840 that can get your life

02:01:14.720 back?

02:01:15.160 Your first step to

02:01:16.080 becoming pain free just

02:01:17.280 might be to order the

02:01:18.340 three week quick start for

02:01:19.580 only $19.95.

02:01:54.040 Thank you.

02:01:54.400 Host of Chewing the Fat.

02:01:57.340 The fattest podcast

02:01:58.820 available wherever you

02:02:00.440 get your podcasts.

02:02:00.980 Thank you very much.

02:02:01.880 I came sporting a gift.

02:02:03.560 I had a contestant on my

02:02:05.800 game show What's the Lie

02:02:06.880 of which you both have

02:02:07.840 participated.

02:02:08.460 Lots of fun.

02:02:09.140 I've never won but it was

02:02:10.400 fun.

02:02:10.860 Well this contestant

02:02:11.880 showed up with a gift

02:02:13.040 and brought me a tomahawk

02:02:14.420 from his tomahawk lanes in

02:02:16.320 Michigan.

02:02:16.980 Oh.

02:02:17.920 Engraved.

02:02:18.440 Jeffy CFT.

02:02:19.740 It's got Chewing the Fat

02:02:20.660 on the Blade.

02:02:21.460 That's really cool.

02:02:22.300 I have now started a new

02:02:23.700 thing.

02:02:23.980 If you're a contestant on

02:02:24.960 my game show you bring me

02:02:26.320 gifts.

02:02:26.700 Yeah.

02:02:27.160 You don't win anything.

02:02:28.120 That's not my thing.

02:02:29.020 You can't win a thing on

02:02:30.400 the show but you bring him

02:02:32.280 a gift.

02:02:32.760 That's a good deal.

02:02:33.600 I like that a lot.

02:02:34.620 Yeah.

02:02:34.820 That's a really good deal.

02:02:35.880 When I was on the show he

02:02:36.640 offered me as a prize a

02:02:38.200 Blaze mug.

02:02:39.860 If you won.

02:02:40.400 I work here and I didn't

02:02:42.220 even win and he took it

02:02:43.240 back.

02:02:44.500 He actually didn't give it

02:02:45.660 to me at the end.

02:02:48.200 I mean you had an

02:02:49.060 opportunity.

02:02:49.440 Now why is this person

02:02:50.500 here?

02:02:50.820 I'm curious.

02:02:51.660 The person is here because

02:02:52.760 they wanted to participate

02:02:53.740 live in a What's the Lie

02:02:56.500 game show.

02:02:57.360 What's the real reason?

02:02:58.100 And that was their only

02:02:58.900 purpose?

02:02:59.640 Well they decided since they

02:03:00.780 were in town they might as

02:03:01.760 well go to Stu's Power Hour

02:03:03.060 tonight.

02:03:03.440 That's right.

02:03:04.500 We have people coming in

02:03:05.540 from all across the country

02:03:06.700 to make us to see us look

02:03:08.000 like idiots.

02:03:08.820 So the audience doesn't

02:03:10.260 participate in the drinking.

02:03:11.640 Oh they can't.

02:03:12.000 Is that true?

02:03:12.480 We may have some coolers

02:03:14.100 being brought in.

02:03:15.900 There may be some beverages

02:03:16.840 for the fine adults that are

02:03:18.780 coming to participate in the

02:03:20.520 Stu's America Power Hour.

02:03:22.520 Stu'sPowerHour.com by the

02:03:23.600 way.

02:03:24.300 Check it out.

02:03:25.340 It's going to be fun very

02:03:26.220 much tonight.

02:03:26.620 Jeff are you going to come

02:03:27.180 by?

02:03:27.420 You did crash one of those.

02:03:28.360 I did.

02:03:28.700 I crashed the last one.

02:03:29.640 Yeah the last one in

02:03:30.440 December.

02:03:30.840 It was fun.

02:03:31.240 I won an award.

02:03:32.000 I got the best Jen Psaki

02:03:33.600 impersonation.

02:03:35.000 That's right.

02:03:35.480 I'm very proud of that.

02:03:36.480 I forgot about that.

02:03:38.120 That's right.

02:03:38.560 Jeffy had a Jen Psaki wig

02:03:39.920 on and you want to talk

02:03:41.980 about something that's

02:03:42.560 attractive.

02:03:44.360 Jeffy in a Jen Psaki wig

02:03:45.880 you will never get it out

02:03:46.840 of your head.

02:03:47.840 Wow.

02:03:48.260 Your eyes will never see

02:03:50.080 another thing that will be

02:03:51.040 burned seared into your

02:03:52.700 memory forever.

02:03:53.320 All I know is I have a

02:03:54.360 proud little sign that

02:03:57.800 says I was the best Jen Psaki

02:04:00.000 impersonator.

02:04:02.120 Congratulations on that one.

02:04:03.880 Your family must be proud

02:04:04.800 too.

02:04:05.080 They must be proud of you

02:04:06.260 for that because that's

02:04:07.720 special.

02:04:08.140 I haven't put it in a frame

02:04:09.020 yet but I still have it

02:04:10.140 somewhere.

02:04:10.960 Corinne Jean-Pierre is

02:04:11.720 trying to figure out this

02:04:12.480 Jen Psaki impersonation.

02:04:13.840 She doesn't seem to be able

02:04:14.700 to do it.

02:04:15.220 If she could even get to

02:04:16.460 that level I mean that

02:04:17.960 would be no massive

02:04:19.380 exponential improvement

02:04:21.800 as Joe Biden would say.

02:04:23.880 Yes.

02:04:24.800 A decade of her doing this

02:04:26.300 job and she would not be

02:04:27.120 as good as Jen Psaki who

02:04:28.160 was not good.

02:04:29.100 We should remind you.

02:04:29.800 This is not a compliment

02:04:30.960 to Jen Psaki.

02:04:31.940 Has she started the MSNBC

02:04:33.200 show yet?

02:04:34.040 I haven't seen her.

02:04:34.820 Oh no I don't think so.

02:04:35.660 I don't think so either.

02:04:36.480 No I don't think so.

02:04:37.300 I wonder if that really

02:04:37.960 I wonder if that fell

02:04:38.740 through.

02:04:39.800 No.

02:04:40.460 No.

02:04:40.660 No way.

02:04:41.520 They're going to not drop

02:04:42.300 her not yet.

02:04:43.260 I think she's going to be

02:04:44.000 more was more skeptical

02:04:45.500 as spokesperson for the

02:04:47.640 president of the president's

02:04:49.580 actions than she will be

02:04:50.380 on MSNBC.

02:04:51.400 She's going to be more

02:04:52.560 private.

02:04:53.920 The MSNBC like ecosystem

02:04:57.180 will pull her farther

02:04:58.580 toward Biden.

02:04:59.760 Oh yeah.

02:05:00.020 That does happen.

02:05:00.920 Yeah.

02:05:01.040 I mean it's incredible

02:05:01.980 what happens when you're

02:05:03.360 surrounded.

02:05:03.780 And look at all the

02:05:04.460 former Fox people who

02:05:05.940 have gone so far left.

02:05:07.380 Like what's her face in

02:05:08.400 the morning on CNN.

02:05:10.680 Yeah.

02:05:11.060 I know.

02:05:11.320 I think I know what you're

02:05:11.780 talking about.

02:05:12.100 Oh what's her face.

02:05:12.700 Yeah.

02:05:12.780 Oh what's her face.

02:05:13.580 Oh what's her face.

02:05:14.580 Have a great weekend.
