00:01:09.500
footing right now he's on thin ice and uh we'll get into that tell you what's going on there coming up
00:01:16.440

00:02:20.960
hey in california they hit the desired two million goal right on the recall
00:02:37.680
petition i think you have to have two thousand or two million confirmed names well no technically it's
00:02:43.140
only 1.5 million okay but they wanted to get to 1.8 to 2 million because they wanted to have a little
00:02:49.000
bit of leeway uh and now they have that yeah they're they're well above it they were at 2.06 million and
00:02:55.420
this is a couple days ago now uh they which is pretty amazing impressive recall effort considering
00:03:02.140
especially that they did it in the middle of a pandemic yeah you know people weren't allowed to
00:03:09.160
go out i mean the governor was able to repress this effort for much of it because you know he was
00:03:16.160
not letting people out of their houses they i mean california wasn't even letting people go to the
00:03:21.120
beach for part of this time so how would you sign a petition how would you get this going the only place
00:03:26.560
you could go was to that uh french restaurant the french laundry and the only way you could go there
00:03:32.500
is if you were the governor of the state really or one of his close personal friends is that how it
00:03:37.920
worked that's how it worked yeah everybody else had to stay home i really think that's the difference
00:03:42.220
between this working and not working is that dinner well it is it had a really good they kicked
00:03:46.660
everything into gear the guys who were behind this worked their butts off to get this done but it
00:03:51.060
was an impossible effort in the middle of a pandemic how can you do it and doing it to a democrat
00:03:55.680
in california that doesn't work out very very hard right only i mean you know gray davis was 2003
00:04:02.160
yeah so that was a long time ago these things normally fail several against gavin newsom had
00:04:08.380
failed already and they stepped up and they just they worked really hard and they did a great job but
00:04:13.900
i don't know without that dinner i don't know if it would have worked i don't think it would have
00:04:18.900
i think that was the last straw for an awful lot of californians yeah they're like okay i mean i
00:04:25.320
liked that guy i liked his policies but i'm sorry the do as i say not as i do thing i can't
00:04:31.900
go there with him it's so frustrating yeah it's so frustrating for people because i think people
00:04:36.640
went into this uh pandemic and they said look this is a crazy situation it's something none of us have
00:04:42.360
ever dealt with before unless you were alive in 1918 you know and this is something that has been
00:04:47.220
it's very very difficult to deal with and we understood at some level things were going to change for a
00:04:54.120
right that doesn't mean that we were going to endorse full out lockdowns but i think a lot of
00:04:58.800
us were fine with and let me let's cut down the big parties let's stay away from each other a little
00:05:03.860
bit more maybe let's uh wash your hands a little more often whatever you know whatever those steps
00:05:09.720
were but when you say we're going to lock down all of society i'm based on a complete lie i mean you
00:05:19.120
know and i don't mean a lie like the coronavirus is a lie i mean the lie that gavin newsom specifically
00:05:24.660
used to justify the recall was completely insane and to this day holds up as insane um john ziggler
00:05:36.140
was on my show studios america last night and he went over this and i had forgotten because you know
00:05:42.660
really one of the first really one of the first uh states i think it was the first to really shut
00:05:48.400
down was california and it was done based on this ridiculous lie that something like 60 percent of
00:05:59.160
all californians would have the coronavirus in eight weeks and yeah that did not happen i've forgotten
00:06:08.360
about that yeah in fact not only did it not happen it uh it still hasn't happened i mean it didn't it
00:06:14.720
happened in eight weeks but it hasn't happened in 52 weeks either i mean like no state in the union
00:06:19.980
has had 60 percent of its population infected with coronavirus i mean this just didn't happen
00:06:26.400
and he was using it as a scare tactic to try to get assistance and to uh and to scare people
00:06:32.940
and it was it was really uh way over the top i mean it's not even close i think something like
00:06:39.320
you know 3.6 million have tested positive in california which is it's the most in the country
00:06:44.520
it's a big state a lot of a lot of people in it that's probably about eight percent of their
00:06:49.280
population i don't know what i let's see if i can find his uh he has the stats in his article
00:06:53.800
um we'll tweet it at studios america what are there 40 million there's i think there's 40 million
00:06:59.260
residents of california right 40 42 million somewhere in there that's amazing right and
00:07:06.640
so this guy comes out and he justifies this based on a lie that he holds everyone down and he does
00:07:11.840
the thing where again people in march and april were much more okay i understand this is a tough
00:07:17.640
time you're taking big steps i'm not comfortable with them but okay until we get a handle on this
00:07:22.240
for example until we at least have testing that if i feel sick i can go and get a test right
00:07:27.380
okay you can do these things then it comes to this period where there's not a lot going on there's
00:07:32.140
not a lot of the virus out there for months and months and he's still not letting go not letting
00:07:36.860
people go to the beach in the park i mean you know the lockdowns that newsom did were completely
00:07:42.020
different than they were you know lockdown gets totally overused in in this conversation because
00:07:47.720
it seems to mean both texas has a mask mandate and gavin newsom won't let anyone go to school
00:07:54.840
right like these are totally different standards um so you have to kind of like look at this and say
00:08:01.000
this has been a uh a a over you know an overreaction uh from newsom for for a a claim that was not even
00:08:10.420
close to accurate and now we we stand back and we look at this and we say wow this he needs to be
00:08:17.760
held accountable and i think that's what this this recall does it at least gives the people of
00:08:23.800
california a chance to say oops oh yeah we shouldn't have done that i mean as if his other
00:08:32.760
actions in his life do not already tell you that you should not have him as your governor i don't
00:08:36.820
know how again it's california weird things happen but at least this will give california a chance now
00:08:42.680
do i have faith if they do recall gavin newsom because it looks like it's going to be on the ballot
00:08:47.380
for sure if it does happen then you know will it work i don't know they may they may still keep him
00:08:53.260
in office do we know when the election would be held if it uh if it happens do they they don't wait
00:08:59.020
clear till november do they no it happens faster they'll have a special election i talked to mike
00:09:03.520
netter who's the uh guy one of the guys running it and he told me it definitely it's definitely
00:09:08.180
before november i don't remember the exact date but it's interesting newsom has gone this entire
00:09:13.700
time not discussing it media organizations would call him up and say hey you know what do you think
00:09:19.500
about this recall what do you think about it what what does it say about your your governorship he
00:09:23.420
would just not respond no comment no comment no comment no comment until yesterday basically and
00:09:29.400
yesterday he started taking all sorts of interviews because he's realized this is happening
00:09:32.880
and now he has to fight it and so he went on with jake tapper yesterday uh he talked to tapper
00:09:39.140
went after him pretty pretty hard uh he talked uh to uh tapper about the the recall and really his
00:09:46.100
first extended public comments listen you have people that are part of the lead coalition that started
00:09:53.000
this petition uh that are avid proboid members they're part of the three percenters the right-lying
00:09:58.280
militia group uh they are supporters of q anon conspiracy theorists white supremacist groups that's not
00:10:03.940
just that that's factual uh and so at the end of the day that's the origins of this
00:10:08.540
and you combine that with newt gingrich and mike huckabee and devin nunez and now the rnc
00:10:13.920
nationalizing this recall time and money you're going to get something on the ballot well what do
00:10:18.960
you think of the two million or so californians who have signed it uh who signed this petition i'm not
00:10:23.980
talking about the leaders that you just went after certainly all two million californians who signed
00:10:28.980
this aren't all trumpsters yeah that's right uh very very true and look this has been one of those
00:10:39.300
things that i don't think they could have done this in a pandemic particularly without a bunch of
00:10:47.140
democrats on board certainly tons of independents have signed this and you know we've talked to the
00:10:51.700
organizers they have tons of democratic signatures as well this is a very bipartisan thing it crosses the
00:10:57.640
line because you know look democrats own businesses too democrats have jobs i mean it's not common
00:11:02.060
but democrats have jobs too and they're people are pissed off about this especially when they see
00:11:08.100
the hypocrisy and i love that he blames prominent republicans like they're all powerful yeah like it's
00:11:14.140
these super powerful republicans that are to blame for this really it's these feckless republicans that
00:11:20.200
you're gonna blame they've got no power they couldn't even win elections in georgia right and you're
00:11:25.520
saying that they've they're responsible for changing the political landscape in california
00:11:30.880
i don't think so no i don't think so either by the way the uh the the actual promise from gavin
00:11:36.520
newsom was he wrote to donald trump and he said in the next eight weeks more than 25 million
00:11:41.860
californians uh and there's 40 million residents as you point out pat uh 25 million would get the
00:11:48.740
virus as of uh this week 3.6 million had it 25 million in eight weeks what he predicted now look
00:11:57.040
lots of people said things that were wrong in this era huh you know really yeah a lot of people did
00:12:02.540
you got i friend fauci who else would have uh anthony fauci might have been inaccurate on almost every
00:12:09.920
fauci thing that he said well one dr fauci yes i know yes you could definitely find tons of dr fauci
00:12:15.960
things that he's he's been only taking both sides of an issue on everything that's all but it wasn't
00:12:23.300
just dr fauci i mean no it was i will say there was a poll that came out one year ago today came out
00:12:29.240
today 55 percent of americans believe there would be less than 1 000 deaths from the coronavirus i was
00:12:36.580
among them i think probably i think a lot of a lot of people were yeah and it was 87 percent
00:12:42.340
of americans believed it would be less than 10 000 has it been more yeah it's had more wow uh so
00:12:50.080
yeah i mean it was look you know there this was a totally different world at that point yeah but
00:12:56.100
only 13 percent of americans even were remotely close to what was going to happen and that was in
00:13:02.000
mid-march that wasn't like january where like you'd really have i mean in january i probably would
00:13:06.980
have said nobody in the united states would die from it you know you go and this is a very widely
00:13:13.400
held viewpoint that nothing was going to happen you know i mean a lot of people believed it uh but
00:13:19.780
also this is there was people on the other side just as insane i mean this is completely absurd
00:13:25.260
it has happened literally nowhere in the world what he's talking about it did not happen it never
00:13:32.400
it never was going to happen and he shut the state down based on this idea that was completely wrong
00:13:38.540
and i still think the american people and people in california would forgive that if it wasn't for
00:13:45.440
the hypocrisy on top of it i think they would say look you know it was a tough time people didn't know
00:13:50.800
people will make excuses for their leaders you know especially in their own their local leaders they
00:13:54.960
don't like the national people they don't like people in other states they don't like other
00:13:57.960
congressional districts but they tend to re-elect their uh their people over and over and over and
00:14:02.600
over again because people i don't know maybe tend to side with their own guy but in this case when
00:14:08.140
you're seeing this guy especially it wasn't like he was indoors at in and out burger you know with his
00:14:13.080
kids he's at a freaking the french laundry one of the most fancy restaurants in america and also
00:14:20.560
sitting there indoors without a mask with other health officials it wasn't just him and his friends
00:14:27.620
he was sitting there with the leaders of the california health department right yeah it's
00:14:32.600
bizarre uh and blatant and yeah i think that turned the tide uh 888-727-BECK it's pat and stew for glenn
00:14:41.280
today so what are you spending every month on your cell phone bill is it more than you'd like it to be
00:14:47.660
more importantly maybe i don't know do you know what the cell phone company you've got your service
00:14:52.020
through is actually doing with the money you're giving them every month these aren't the most fun
00:14:55.760
questions to ask yourself but you should ask them especially when there are really good options
00:14:59.720
why would you be paying through the nose to a company like verizon who's setting some of your
00:15:04.260
hard-earned money to fund things like planned parenthood when you could be getting the exact
00:15:08.300
same service and the exact same towers through a company that's going to charge you a lot less
00:15:12.660
and which doesn't donate money to leftist causes that company of course patriot mobile switching is
00:15:17.880
easy they have customizable plans they can you know uh do all all the stuff you need done with your
00:15:23.240
cell phone it's gonna you're gonna get the great service and the great data plans and all that
00:15:26.340
stuff but they actually donate to conservative causes they stand up for what you believe in
00:15:30.860
the choice is clear this month get a free get free premier uh activation where they set up the phone
00:15:36.940

00:15:56.180
so uh the tapper interview of kevin newsom i think there was uh more that that he had to say right
00:16:16.260
um or or is this a separate interview is this the same one this is okay uh this is where um
00:16:23.140
i think the views megan mccain was giving uh newsom the latest stats between florida and california
00:16:30.560
the covid pandemic well a governor at news outlets like the ap are pointing out that california and
00:16:37.140
florida have virtually identical case rates even though california's had strict rules and florida's
00:16:42.680
essentially been wide open florida also has a booming economy um a booming real estate market
00:16:48.120
and much lower unemployment rate than california 4.8 percent compared to nine percent i also have
00:16:53.640
to point out that california has the lowest percentage of kids in schools and the seventh
00:16:57.680
worst mortality rate i'd much rather live in florida than california right now how do you explain that
00:17:02.760
well we have our positivity rate is three times less than florida at the current moment we have a
00:17:09.160
lower death rate than florida we have a lower case rate than florida in this pandemic uh the story
00:17:15.040
still needs to be told but that said let's be just candid about this florida and california are very
00:17:19.920
different in every way shape or form in this respect most importantly the issue of density is
00:17:24.580
profoundly significant as it relates to the disease spread the disease burden particularly
00:17:28.980
multi-generational households and density just consider just la alone its density is seven times
00:17:35.200
greater than that of miami and so i'm not here to critique other states quite the contrary save
00:17:41.280
one and that was texas that notably i think made a terrible reckless mistake on setting down uh the
00:17:47.800
gauntlet on removing masks not implementing strategies to enforce and be more aggressive on mask wearing
00:17:53.460
uh and at the same time i think what we've done is save lives wow oh my god there's so much wrong with
00:18:00.240
that clip oh so much wrong with that clip by the way and just in case you wonder we did a show last
00:18:05.420
night on ranking the top five well all the we did all 50 states but the best five states the worst five
00:18:11.800
states and just results like not not about like what we think should work and for california didn't uh do
00:18:18.780
well we can get into that here in a second but when it comes to just the density that was one of the
00:18:21.960
factors we factored into the uh to the formula uh california is the 12th most dense state in america
00:18:30.040
uh florida's ninth state is actually more dense than california dance now even that argument was
00:18:38.740
ridiculous yeah he's pointing to one city you know one city comparison and saying it's more dense which
00:18:43.740
you know i i don't have i mean i don't have that in front of me i assume he's right on that but
00:18:47.480
who knows with gavin newsom but i mean the state as a whole is more dense in florida the other thing
00:18:52.860
that's interesting about that and california to florida comparison there are far more senior
00:18:58.160
citizens in florida than california everybody retires to florida florida is the fifth oldest
00:19:03.940
state in the union and california is the 43rd oldest state in the union so that's a huge difference
00:19:10.360
huge difference i mean a much bigger uh vulnerable population than california has exactly and that's
00:19:16.680
a big big difference i didn't even know it was that wide fifth and 43rd wow so look gavin newsom
00:19:22.320
does not have an argument here he you know he was able to he he does have better numbers i mean
00:19:27.860
really the better comparison would be like a new york or something where i mean he does have better
00:19:31.500
numbers than a new york where they had that really bad um outbreak but you can't are it's very difficult
00:19:40.020
to argue that lockdown measures like they took in california uh can be justified they're not they just
00:19:46.440
didn't work you know and california really went crazy with this doubled and tripled down on it and
00:19:54.420
you know the economy got hit pretty hard and it's bizarre how he goes after texas at the end of that
00:19:59.920
thing when texas has way better numbers than he than california does and and now he's trying to he's
00:20:05.960
lashing out because the mandate's been removed but nobody said you can't wear a mask in fact what i've
00:20:12.420
noticed is really nothing's changed in texas as far as mask wearing have you noticed any difference
00:20:17.540
every time i go into a grocery store everybody's masked up everybody everybody i i i see no one
00:20:23.940
walking around grocery stores without a mask it is interesting now there are now as you may know
00:20:28.120
my my wife lisa page um and she features this on her instagram page over and over again
00:20:33.040
is possibly the most prominent anti-mask uh activist in the united states and uh she will go
00:20:39.480
even before the mask mandate was over would just walk in now again we've already had the virus so
00:20:44.800
it's really stupid really stupid for us to be wearing masks but she'll go anywhere and you know
00:20:50.140
most of the time i think that the formula is pretty static which is and this is before the
00:20:54.020
mandate and after the mask mandate in most places if you walk in without a mask you'll get some looks
00:20:58.700
occasionally someone will talk to you that's a customer but the stores themselves are not gonna hammer
00:21:03.780
you over it typically yeah maybe that's improving a little bit i've seen a couple places that have
00:21:08.040
taken the mask signs down but still as you point out everyone inside is still wearing them yep so
00:21:12.960
i don't know doesn't seem to make much of a difference yeah we have more on that in a moment
00:21:18.980
maybe we'll go through some of these states here in a second we'll see where your state ranked
00:21:21.820
this is the glenbeck program spring is back which in texas means that the birds are singing for the week
00:21:32.860
or so they have before the weather gets hot enough that they just fall dead out of the sky fully
00:21:36.860
cooked and ready to eat and while that's a fine way to get a meal around here i want to tell you
00:21:43.020
about a better way it's called rec tech and it's about to change the way you see grilling the rec
00:21:47.640
tech is sturdy made from stainless steel the way it should be smart grill technology not only allows
00:21:52.380
you to control the whole cooking process from an app on your phone or device but also automatically
00:21:57.160
adjusts itself to the weather around so if it starts raining outside for example the rec tech will raise
00:22:02.760
or lower the uh necessary heat to give you the perfect temperature all the way through when you
00:22:06.960
own a rec tech you basically own cooking perfection follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for
00:22:12.740
their newsletter it's rec tech with a q at the end r-e-c-t-e-q dot com uh especially when it gets
00:22:19.340
really hot in the summer or if you're if you're up north and it's still pretty cold you can grill
00:22:23.320
outside because you can use this an app on your phone to control the entire process rec tech dot com
00:22:28.900
is the place to go r-e-c-t-e-q dot com make sure you have the best grill on the market rec tech dot com
00:22:37.640
r-e-c-t-e-q dot com won't you check out my show pat gray unleashed every weekday from seven to nine
00:22:44.180
eastern uh six to eight central or anywhere you get your podcast anytime you want during the day
00:22:50.520
it's pat and stew for glenn today triple eight seven two seven beck uh all right some statistics
00:23:05.100
that may or may not surprise you uh but still has a list of the states that are doing the best right
00:23:12.420
now with covid and uh also states that are are doing the worst and i would say this is a look at the
00:23:18.420
entire year right so it's not just where they are it's not right now it's how do they do over the
00:23:22.960
past year yeah and so we went through did a formula there let me give you some of the factors that went
00:23:28.920
into this one obviously how well did you avoid people dying in your state you know what i mean
00:23:35.200
like uh did that's obviously a big factor but number two i mean this because we all we hear from
00:23:41.380
the you know the news media is trying to compare death totals and everything else we also looked at the
00:23:45.760
how well were you be able to protect the economy through this okay it was a really difficult thing
00:23:51.400
for states to do some states did a lot better than others we also looked at uh what is from uh there's
00:23:57.520
an oxford university university of oxford stringency index which is basically a measure of how hard the
00:24:04.400
government cracked down how long did they put the people into relative shutdown levels right did they
00:24:11.540
have a light touch did they have a heavy touch when it comes to that and and i think that's somewhat
00:24:17.160
controversial in that like people would say well what does that matter uh you know i think like if
00:24:21.340
you have two states that had the same results with the economy and deaths right but one gave you
00:24:26.100
complete freedom the other one uh locked you down in individual plastic bubbles that matters yeah that
00:24:32.240
matters right i mean free this is the it's the united states of america here so i i use that as a
00:24:37.280
factor there's those are the three biggest factors however there's also you know we factored in the
00:24:43.020
age of the population so a state that has an older population should get a break in comparing the death
00:24:48.180
rate you know to a state that has a younger population same thing with a density if you have a state with
00:24:54.940
the population density that's high um we looked at vaccine rollout all sorts of different things and
00:25:00.500
kind of came up with a final score zero to 100 for all 50 states so let me give you some of the
00:25:07.040
bottom states i'll start seventh from the bottom for a reason because it was california
00:25:11.740
score of 35.7 out of 100 they did they actually didn't do terribly as far as the rate of covid but
00:25:21.500
as we point out they have a relatively young population in in uh in uh in california so that
00:25:27.800
does make a difference as far as the death rate but we factored that in they finished seventh from
00:25:31.760
the bottom six from the bottom was massachusetts 28.1 out of 100 fifth from the bottom connecticut
00:25:40.580
our old home state pat uh now again you can you can you blame some of its neighbors for this i think
00:25:46.240
you could yes but we'll go it's connecticut also didn't do all that well uh rhode island
00:25:50.720
is fourth from the bottom 25.2 is the score out of 100 third from the bottom red state louisiana
00:26:00.180
20.6 out of 100 now you can probably fairly note that part of the reason louisiana had a really bad
00:26:09.900
outbreak of covid was mardi gras was mardi gras which happened at the end of february last year
00:26:16.280
and of course was held in a very blue area of louisiana not a very red area of louisiana
00:26:23.640
but you know as long as you have new orleans in your state you you're responsible for it louisiana
00:26:28.520
i apologize for that but uh you know i didn't put it in your state that was that was your thing
00:26:32.520
so you're responsible for for the uh for the outbreak in new orleans so they came out uh third
00:26:38.520
to worst 20.6 out of 100 then there's a quite a drop off from third to worst at 20.6 to second
00:26:47.360
to worst new mexico 7.9 out of 100 wow so from 20.6 to 7.9 uh people don't realize that new mexico
00:26:56.700
had the hardest lockdown in the nation harder than any other state california new york nobody
00:27:03.000
locked down further harder than new mexico i didn't know that yeah uh they had their economy was a
00:27:07.620
disaster as well they and they didn't even get good results as far as covid i mean really they
00:27:13.140
didn't do anything well throughout this entire process so new mexico figure finishes second to
00:27:18.960
last and in dead last place without anyone's surprise of course is new york with a score of
00:27:26.880
6.8 out of 100 they had the second strongest lockdown in the country despite that had the
00:27:33.920
second worst covid numbers only to new jersey which is completely new york's fault anyway
00:27:40.180
and also their economy was a disaster despite the fact they have a giant industry there that could
00:27:46.700
work from home they still couldn't protect the economy at all so they finish in dead last place
00:27:53.720
of course andrew cuomo is awful.com should be noted at this time uh should we give you some of the
00:27:59.980
uh top top uh top picks yeah who did the best let's see uh all right well who did the best
00:28:05.100
and we're starting at let me give you 10 all right alaska number 10 score of 66.7 again we take into
00:28:12.360
account population density but again there are some there's some asterisks in this like hawaii what do
00:28:19.720
you do with you know hawaii obviously is going to have a really good result on covid because they're
00:28:24.160
an island but also a really bad result on the economy because they're dependent on on flights
00:28:29.040
yeah so it's a tough one to measure but alaska came in 10th south dakota in ninth and i think i think
00:28:35.140
a lot of people would think south dakota would do really well on this they were number two on the
00:28:39.440
stringency index uh so it's the second least amount of time in lockdown um but they really they're 44th
00:28:48.000
as far as covid uh per million so they that hurt them like they they had a very open uh attitude
00:28:55.380
towards this which i respect and i like christy dome uh quite a bit but uh look they just had a
00:29:01.340
really really rough battle with that when it comes uh to uh their rates uh eighth place uh nebraska
00:29:09.220
67.8 out of 100 then virginia actually did pretty well uh in seventh place 68.9 iowa in sixth place
00:29:19.420
69.9 out of 100 iowa another one that never they they had that initial shutdown period and then
00:29:26.260
were pretty open after that and had you know relatively good results certainly good economic
00:29:31.140
results number six uh number five oregon that's a surprise that one is a surprise to me and i so i was
00:29:39.600
thinking about this because the score is 70.1 out of 100 for oregon again best covid results by state
00:29:45.600
for the entire year they had a you know they had very low rates uh of covid but they'd locked down
00:29:52.420
i mean they were middle of the pack when it comes down to how far they how long they locked down
00:29:56.260
my my theories on this was one portland in particular was burning down most of the year
00:30:04.500
so probably people were terrified to go outdoors at all and see anyone plus you also have a in their
00:30:11.580
economy did relatively well compared to some of these other more locked down type states and i
00:30:16.720
think you might have a population that was more able to work from home you know the industries there
00:30:20.960
are friendlier to being able to work at home so there wasn't as much of a need uh for that but
00:30:26.460
that's where that finished um number uh let's see number four idaho 74.1 score out of 100 idaho did
00:30:36.860
pretty much everything pretty well every one of their categories was pretty good uh not at the top
00:30:41.800
of the list but in the top third on pretty much every single thing a couple of surprises here towards
00:30:46.300
the top here number three and then there's an asterisk on this one a little bit too number three was
00:30:50.380
wisconsin and i would think wisconsin like how the heck really they have a democratic governor yet
00:30:58.400
they're they ranked on this you know how how long did they lock down the stringency index they were
00:31:03.800
only fifth they were somehow fifth now i looked into that a little bit more thinking how the hell
00:31:09.000
did wisconsin finish fifth in this measure because it's really the strongest thing that they had going
00:31:14.540
for them in this uh in the in the little formula here and the reason was the courts kept overturning all
00:31:21.140
the things the democratic governor wanted to do so they never like they were on and off again a little
00:31:25.680
bit but the courts were like no you can't do any of this crap so they didn't go into lockdown as much
00:31:31.360
as a lot of other blue states did which is kind of an interesting factor score of 83.9 out of 100
00:31:38.060
number two new hampshire 84.9 out of 100 against that one either yeah you know i wouldn't have either
00:31:44.320
although you got live free or die right they were actually they did not lock down all that hard they
00:31:49.740
had pretty good results from covet and their their economy was relatively well protected uh they are also
00:31:55.720
um an older population which helps them in this measure i mean considering they were eighth overall
00:32:02.400
in death rate and had the have the second oldest population in the country it's pretty impressive
00:32:06.840
uh that that's that stuck together and i don't know it kind of makes sense in some ways you know
00:32:12.180
that's a it's a state that has a motto where you're supposed to be taking responsibility for your
00:32:16.580
own actions and maybe that helped play in uh number one though are you ready score of 90.1
00:32:22.840
out of 100 i am 90.1 out of 100 the number one score in the entire union this was a surprise to me
00:32:31.240
i will say i didn't see this one coming number one the state of
00:32:36.820
does this end or confusion the state of confusion no okay this state of utah that is what i was
00:32:46.720
gonna guess really yeah yeah that's what i was gonna guess that's pretty interesting to me i would
00:32:51.500
not have guessed it really just because i don't know i mean i it didn't get any press you know like
00:32:57.840
people talk the right has talked about texas they've talked about florida they talked about
00:33:01.500
arizona they talked about south dakota they've talked about a lot of different states georgia got
00:33:06.740
press at the beginning quite a bit really i haven't heard much conversation about utah but
00:33:12.560
utah kind of sat there and did incredibly well in every measure here uh number three as far as how
00:33:20.900
how long were they in lockdown third least amount of time so they they were third say on the freedom
00:33:26.180
index right okay economy they finished seventh in the entire country and their covid results they
00:33:33.960
finished sixth wow so really did now i will say they are the youngest state in the union which i
00:33:39.700
did not know either until doing this uh research youngest state in the union however that they get
00:33:44.380
punished in this uh in this measure for that like if you're a young state you lose points on on the
00:33:50.680
formula because you know you shouldn't you know an older state it has a tougher time with something
00:33:55.860
like this yeah so even despite the fact that they got punished for that still finished number one
00:33:59.980
uh in the union with a score of 90.1 wow and really has had no press and no credit and no
00:34:06.660
no love i mean i haven't heard anybody saying wow you know who's doing a good job is utah
00:34:11.240
and this comes back to something i you know i think has proved since the beginning of this to be
00:34:15.760
really important we've talked so much about what the government does am i going to sit here and say
00:34:20.540
that everything that utah did from the government level was right i doubt it i mean i don't know all the
00:34:24.260
details i'm not i don't live in utah but i guarantee if we open up the phone lines we get lots of
00:34:28.060
people complaining about what what the government was saying or doing in utah as we would from every
00:34:32.220
state but like there's something to do with this coming back to instead of the government the
00:34:36.640
people you know this is the united states of america we lead the government the government
00:34:40.500
doesn't lead us that's that's not the way this works and you know if you look at the type of
00:34:45.920
population you'd want to to potentially have in the form in the in the time of a pandemic
00:34:51.960
i gotta say you might draft mormons number one you might first of all they're pretty healthy
00:34:57.960
second of all as you point out pretty young yeah uh i would say they're they do a good job
00:35:03.580
following rules would you say that's an accurate statement i would say that's pretty accurate like
00:35:08.180
they're not like the type of people who are like you know they're not like people who are uh going
00:35:13.960
to go out and like you know burn down government buildings because they don't like a policy they
00:35:17.620
might they're going to argue with it they're going to say what they believe but they're not
00:35:20.260
they're not they're not going to do that they're not activists yeah they're not like yeah and i think
00:35:24.640
that's you know i mean that in a good way in this particular measure specifically and then also
00:35:30.380
there are people who tend to do a lot of thinking about others right like they're yes much i would
00:35:38.920
say less focused on like well damn it it's my right then you know what like i i don't like this
00:35:45.680
but i don't want to make anyone else sick i want to make i want to make sure that like every
00:35:49.420
i think there's a there's a very selfless aspect of of that culture that that makes a state like
00:35:57.080
utah perform really well and i will note too number four was idaho yes also quite more also quite
00:36:03.020
mormon and i you know that it's it's an interesting thing and i think that it comes down to that a
00:36:09.620
little bit more than than cable news and even talk shows and politicians have talked about you just
00:36:17.080
mentioned this with the masks the government policy has been such a factor but really i mean you look
00:36:22.720
at the states with no mask mandates as and and compare them to the ones with mask mandates there's
00:36:28.160
about a 10 to 12 percent difference of mask usage it's really not that different yeah it really doesn't
00:36:34.160
make all that much difference it's really about what the people wind up doing we lead this government
00:36:38.280
they don't lead us so would this be a good time to send the couple of guys in white shirts and
00:36:42.780
bicycles over to your house seems like a pretty good time maybe for that i'll make the call i'll
00:36:51.860
make the call while you do the commercial i think i have covid they can't come over uh all right so
00:36:57.760
when you want to really really get your groove on i know pat is a big i mean he was just singing in
00:37:03.400
the break this guy you want to talk about about getting your groove oh huge huge uh huge dancer
00:37:09.080
um yeah i always see pat walking around here a pair of raycons and just jamming i do love my
00:37:15.880
raycons the raycons are awesome i love them yeah i will say if you've ever had like either the apple
00:37:20.940
uh earbuds or some of these other brands that are wireless especially if you have the wires those are
00:37:27.040
really annoying now because i'm totally used to the wireless ones but the apple ones they hang down
00:37:31.120
from your ears they look like weird earrings they bump into things and fall out all the time
00:37:35.440
way cooler looking and they don't hurt the other ones hurt my ears i got i don't know why
00:37:41.060
but the raycon don't at all no they fit your ear perfectly yeah and they and they're they fit if
00:37:45.780
you can picture this flat against your ear so you can put your head down on a pillow and if you wanted
00:37:51.440
to and listen to an audiobook at night and have no problems whatsoever the best fit uh they won't fall
00:37:56.180
out of your ears like a lot of earbuds do they have the volume the clarity of sound of all the major
00:38:01.000
competitors but they're half the price we should mention that as well of a pair of apple ipods raycon
00:38:06.240
is offering 15 off all their products right now here's what you got to do to get it go to buyraycon.com
00:38:11.820
slash back b-u-y then r-a-y-c-o-n buyraycon.com slash back 15 off at buyraycon.com slash back
00:38:20.980
so where did uh where did texas wind up in these rankings to texas was actually did not do all that
00:38:35.920
well um they were let's say i'm gonna say 30 38 39th out of 51 we yeah that's not very good no yeah
00:38:46.560
not very good uh you know the biggest problem with texas was the economy actually they had a
00:38:50.900
bigger drop off in the economy maybe chalk that up to energy i mean you know you had a lot less
00:38:55.340
flying obviously but you know air travel places so maybe that was the reason for it um but yeah
00:39:02.980
they were they were did not do well in the economy did were eighth in the sort of freedom index but
00:39:07.220
uh 42nd in the economy middle of the pack for covid florida was another one i think people were
00:39:12.580
interested in florida finished uh right in the middle of the pack overall um so they were
00:39:19.040
actually in lockdown a lot longer than people remember people they came out they removed the
00:39:24.100
mask mandate early but we're in lockdown a lot longer than people remember did middle of the pack
00:39:28.480
kind of on everything uh so but again with a bigger population there's there's reasons to understand
00:39:33.940
why that could be possible um i don't know if there's any other huge ones i mean the bottom is
00:39:39.160
very blue i'll say pennsylvania was down there new jersey was down there nevada illinois um
00:39:45.780
you know all kind of down there towards the bottom which i guess you'd expect because they
00:39:51.360
had bad outbreaks and locked down harshly this is the glenn back program
00:39:56.040

this hour oh it's gonna be a lot of fun back in a second
00:41:09.220
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
00:41:31.100
this is the glenbeck program with pat and stew uh you can listen to my show pat gray unleashed
00:41:41.760
every weekday morning immediately preceding this or anytime on podcasts stew does america
00:41:48.900
8 p.m eastern yeah i'm thinking central there no that's right on blaze tv 8 p.m eastern thank you pat
00:41:54.980
all right uh so the vaccine uh is going really well in certain countries is real are you aware
00:42:04.020
that israel is over 50 percent now in at least part of the vaccine being administered yeah they're
00:42:11.400
almost i think they might be up to 50 percent fully vaccinated vaccinated yeah yeah it's amazing
00:42:17.340
what they're doing 50.4 percent as of today wow so out of nine million that's about four and a
00:42:22.420
half million people vaccinated already and so they're getting these uh badges now the green
00:42:29.460
badge which yeah the vaccine passport yeah yeah uh which is ironic because yeah we know yeah so
00:42:38.640
we'll see how that works out it's apparently going really well though as far as the the uh the
00:42:45.000

00:44:11.960
all right so in uh israel apparently people are pretty open to getting the vaccine um i i have
00:44:29.000
kind of a different impression of many americans because i hear from a lot who just sure have no
00:44:35.160
intention of ever being vaccinated yeah the polling is it's been pretty consistent it's it's improved
00:44:41.440
as far as people wanting to take the vaccine which is what you would expect right there it's been
00:44:46.580
basically the entire time broken down like this about 40 percent of people are like absolutely give
00:44:51.960
me the vaccine like give it to me i'm ready for it day one i'm rushing down throw throw some needles
00:44:56.820
at me whatever sticks in i'll take that one they're fine about 30 percent of people are like
00:45:02.740
say basically i'm open to it but i want to kind of see if everyone starts dropping dead first you know
00:45:08.860
like can you have can i not be first in line let me just see if people these needles go in people's
00:45:13.860
arms and they just spontaneously combust if that doesn't happen all right i'll go check it out
00:45:19.080
then there's about 20 percent of the population who says i don't want to get it but like if i have to
00:45:25.600
like if work tells me i need to do it or i i can't get into any i can't take any flights because
00:45:32.520
i can't get a vaccine all right i'll whatever i'll do it and then there's about 10 of the population
00:45:36.800
that is like sign up ideologically against you know vaccines in general or this particular vaccine for
00:45:42.460
some reason um so the polling's been pretty consistent in that general format some of the people
00:45:48.620
who have were in that 30 group that say look i i'm open to getting it but i'm a little worried
00:45:57.740
some of those people have now moved into the i'm going to get the vaccine group so it's and some of
00:46:03.520
the people have received the vaccine already in that group so it is most people are fine getting it
00:46:09.340
they realize you know they they might not be excited about getting a shot but they're going to go
00:46:13.500
through it and get it anyway um i think there's a certain percentage of people you know it seems to
00:46:18.200
be about 10 that are just you know ideologically against the vaccine for whatever reason or just
00:46:22.460
don't think it's going to work or don't think it's safe or healthy and i don't think you're going to
00:46:26.360
change those people's minds you know that's just the way you know the way they've you know
00:46:30.460
processed the information a larger part of that area though are people who just don't go to the
00:46:37.120
doctor all that often you know people who those are the people that are reachable on the vaccine
00:46:42.000
people who just like i don't tend like there's a lot of people who like never go to the dentist
00:46:46.240
for example like you know they just don't ever do it and it's it's a surprisingly high percentage
00:46:52.040
of the population that you know don't get dental care for decades on end right and the same thing
00:46:57.760
happens with doctors that you know especially um in minority communities in communities in inner
00:47:04.040
cities that just don't have access or don't have money or don't desire to go see the doctor for
00:47:09.140
every little thing and they just don't come in contact that often with medical professionals
00:47:13.280
so there's some skepticism there as well and i think that's those are the people they're going to
00:47:19.020
try to reach in israel they have kind of the same problem where the orthodox communities are much
00:47:24.820
less likely to want to get the vaccine for ideological reasons so those communities are much harder
00:47:30.880
for the government to get the vaccine too but they are at as you point out pat over now 50
00:47:37.500
percent fully vaccinated in israel they lead the world by a very large margin uh in that in that
00:47:45.340
world let's see if i can get through the exact uh numbers this is this is fully vaccinated numbers
00:47:52.660
right now here we go 50.4 percent in israel number two is bahrain at 12.9 wow so a huge huge gap there
00:48:01.300
because we're at between partially and fully vaccinated i think we're at around 20 percent
00:48:07.280
aren't we and we're between those who have gotten one of the two shots and those who've gotten both
00:48:12.920
of them i've got that right here um it's not quite oh you mean between both yes i'm sorry yeah here we
00:48:18.480
go um so uh at least one dose in the united states uh-huh 18 plus population 27.9 percent
00:48:26.660
has already received one dose but more importantly here right for this particular virus is the 65 plus
00:48:33.100
population now 65 of that population has received at least one dose which was the important group yeah
00:48:39.880
and look you know the biden administration can try to take credit for all of this which is completely
00:48:46.560
ridiculous right like the during the trump administration they developed the vaccine they got
00:48:52.700
it already they did all the testing they got it all prepared they designed the entire uh rollout
00:48:58.120
strategy and then biden comes in office is like look what we just did with the vaccines right we're
00:49:02.780
great we inherited a broken system a completely broken non-existent system a lot of the people who
00:49:08.680
are from the trump administration who are running this effort are still there yeah you know they're not
00:49:13.360
they're not partisans they're just you know people who are really good at logistics and you know what
00:49:17.600
the record was the the record development time before this yeah for a vaccine from start of the
00:49:24.640
disease to when you have a vaccine for it before now 10 years measles took i think it was a measles
00:49:33.200
vaccination 10 years i thought there was one for like whooping cough or something that was like more
00:49:38.140
like four or five years but but still maybe it was multiple years yeah it's a long time it's a lot
00:49:45.100
longer than a year yeah i mean for start to finish this thing happened in less than a year yeah really
00:49:50.280
really incredible whether you like it or not it is yeah absolutely impossible it's a miracle which is
00:49:56.660
it really is incredible and really more exciting than this particular vaccine is the technology behind
00:50:02.160
the vaccine this mrna mrna technology which offers the ability to develop vaccines quickly like this
00:50:12.180
for all not just like pandemics i'm talking about like you know diseases that have existed in the
00:50:17.500
third world for generations and no one's really been able to get them under control because the
00:50:22.640
development is cost is so high and it takes so long and obviously these countries don't have the money
00:50:28.180
and all of this this technology can be adapted really easily to things we've been fighting for a
00:50:34.120
really long time so i think long term the upside is even more exciting than just what we have here
00:50:40.360
we can go back to restaurants in a couple of weeks but um we now fully vaccinated in the country
00:50:45.040
15 of uh the 18 plus population and 37 of 65 plus so you're going to see you know the one thing
00:50:53.460
you're seeing in israel is they when they break down the death rates from the vaccinated population
00:51:00.920
and the non-vaccinated population it's remarkable how well this is working you know more than half of
00:51:06.900
the deaths right now in cases are coming from only like the five percent of the population
00:51:11.660
uh that isn't vaccinated in the older groups um because and the other 95 percent of the population
00:51:18.780
is you know accounting for uh less than the five percent which is really remarkable you look at it
00:51:25.160
when it comes down they break it down by age the old the older population their deaths are dropping
00:51:30.640
like crazy in israel and they're down by you know over 70 percent now as far as just cases overall with
00:51:37.780
the entire population so you know it's encouraging you know what do you make of all the stories though
00:51:43.560
of people you know dying within a day or two of this and or or becoming uh uncontrollably shaky
00:51:53.020
for you know the rest of i mean i don't know how long it's gonna last but there was for instance
00:51:59.660
there was a woman who did a video and she couldn't stop shaking i mean every part of her body was shaking
00:52:04.360
and it had been going on for days and couldn't stop and the only thing she could attribute it to
00:52:10.440
was the vaccine so i mean you're hearing these stories and i i you know maybe some people are just
00:52:17.880
not able to handle it i i don't know possible i mean i think you know look science via youtube video
00:52:24.680
is never a good idea are you sure uh yeah that's that's actually the first scientific principle
00:52:29.080
yeah uh don't do science based on youtube videos what about internet stories internet stories are a
00:52:35.260
different thing if it's forwarded then you then it's science okay if people forwarded enough times
00:52:40.020
it becomes science so like i get it in the in my email yeah in my inbox i can take it directly to
00:52:46.300
the bank yes definitely i can believe it's true as long as it's the person sending it to you is not
00:52:50.240
the source if it's been passed three or four times then it becomes science okay i mean look you have
00:52:55.660
to look at the anecdotal cases as you know what they what they are and and some of them you know
00:53:00.520
there there are some people who have had bad reactions to it i guess um it's pretty minor i mean
00:53:05.120
we we know this that the people who are taking the vaccine are dying at a much lower rate than people
00:53:12.080
that are not taking the vaccine getting extremely sick at a much lower much lower rate and that's not
00:53:16.920
just covid that's overall now there could be a reason for that and that people who are maybe
00:53:21.860
healthier and more engaged in the health care system are more likely to get the vaccine but it's
00:53:28.360
certainly not showing there's no evidence whatsoever of these effects large in a large scale for example
00:53:33.940
there's a there's a there's debate going on with this astrazeneca vaccine in europe and uh astrazeneca
00:53:39.080
is not approved for use here in the united states they're in the middle of the the test that would get
00:53:43.800
it to approval but it is not approved in the united states yet was improved very early on as you might
00:53:48.660
expect because it has to do with oxford uh in the uk and that's really what they're using in the uk
00:53:53.340
it went over to uh to europe and there's a debate now about a lot of the european countries have pulled
00:54:01.100
it from usage and they because they believe there was i believe five cases of um uh blood clots or maybe
00:54:09.300
it might have been up to about 30 cases of blood clots related to the astrazeneca vaccine again
00:54:13.880
totally different technology than pfizer and moderna but still it was this this was the concern
00:54:18.560
and so people were freaked out about it they pulled it off the market it's interesting though to look at
00:54:23.520
the numbers there in that europe the people that pulled it off the market are saying that blood clots
00:54:28.740
are happening in one in 167 000 people who get the vaccine now in in britain who's been using this
00:54:36.700
vaccine the entire time they're saying it's one in 500 000 so there's a disagreement between one in
00:54:44.200
167 000 and one in 500 000 however both of those numbers are better numbers than the population in
00:54:52.400
general so the idea that it's the vaccine causing this the people more than one in 167 000 people just
00:55:02.320
get blood clots on a normal everyday life basis so there's no reason to believe none of this you
00:55:08.860
know none of the science shows that any of this stuff is is happening now look that does not mean
00:55:13.320
and i you know i as you can probably tell i'm i'm very pro vaccine i want to get back to normal life i
00:55:18.500
think this is the best path to do it i love what the trump administration did on this i love the fact
00:55:23.560
that capitalism was involved i love the fact that the ultimate enemy of every single left-wing
00:55:29.300
newspaper in america big pharmaceutical companies were involved i think it's hilarious and i love
00:55:34.740
the fact that this is i feel like the american way out of something like this we just innovate come up
00:55:38.880
with something great and get out of it and go on with our lives so i do like that uh i am i'm pro
00:55:43.580
however nobody should be forcing you to take it if you don't want to take it and that is you know we
00:55:49.620
have not seen anyone in the united states yet require it i and they don't even require it in israel
00:55:55.420
but it is something that you could see gavin newsom or andrew cuomo doing and saying that it
00:56:02.240
is required and that you should not have to take any of these things if you don't want to take them
00:56:06.220
that's that's an important part of liberty even if you shouldn't have to wear a mask if you don't want
00:56:10.600
to wear a mask even if thing right like even if even if it was the best idea in the world you still
00:56:18.140
get to i mean look i i you know i i would not for this is a country in which we're not supposed to be
00:56:24.040
forcing people through the government to do pretty much anything you know i mean with the exception
00:56:30.700
of don't murder you know don't steal there's a bunch of things there's a few commandments that
00:56:36.860
outline some of these ideas uh at one point in an old book but i mean really the government should
00:56:41.400
have very limited access to your life and as far as managing it and so you know the people who are
00:56:47.720
much more skeptical on the vaccine than i am i stand with them in the idea that they should not be
00:56:51.720
forced to take it that's a terrible idea and it also will just turn people off from wanting to
00:56:55.880
take it you know people who are on the fence are just gonna be like screw you don't tell me what
00:56:59.900
to do it's exactly how i'd be if they started to mandate it well now i don't want it yeah now i don't
00:57:05.100
want it and the messaging on this has been terrible it's basically like in in israel they're saying hey
00:57:11.020
get the vaccine then go do what you want as soon as you're vaccinated none of these rules apply to you
00:57:16.200
anymore basically that's what they're trying to communicate to the people uh that's not entirely true in
00:57:20.760
israel but it is it is what they're trying to communicate that's the messaging here the messaging
00:57:24.480
is the opposite it's like hey get the vaccine and then in the year 2027 you'll be able to see
00:57:29.180
another person again you know you may even be able to eat outdoors in before 2050 we'll let you know
00:57:37.000
you know you we get to tell you when that happens and the american people are just like wait a minute
00:57:41.980
what i know yeah and it's if if if you behave yourself if you do everything we tell you to do
00:57:48.140
uh then maybe you can get together and and have a backyard barbecue uh the 4th of july we'll see
00:57:55.120
we'll see and we'll let you know by the way it's i do you think any of this pad is them just trying
00:58:00.440
to underplay it it's like you know when when a when an air airplane uh company uh uh uh a flight
00:58:07.400
tells you that you're going to be there at three o'clock when they know you're supposed to be there
00:58:10.340
at 230 so they have that like that wiggle room in there yes they're just trying to say like it's
00:58:14.140
like he's like oh a million vaccines a day it's like well we're already doing that like he's trying to
00:58:17.920
set expectations so low that he's definitely going to clear them maybe it's just that way i don't
00:58:22.200
know 888-727-BECK more patents two for glenn coming up staying healthy is tough especially if
00:58:28.380
you're uh like me and you have a i have a little bit of a sweet tooth also i like to eat constantly
00:58:33.420
so that's tough it doesn't work very well with health um we just kind of rounded the corner on
00:58:38.440
the new year and they are uh a lot of new year's resolutions be that were made and broken already
00:58:44.420
if you want to get back on the bandwagon let me tell you about built bars now my wife eats these
00:58:48.520
things constantly she told tanya beck about them tanya told glenn about them now glenn loves them
00:58:53.480
as well uh pat you love them as well too uh built bars i do um there's a million different flavors
00:58:58.560
there's like they're like 130 calories something like you know 13 grams of protein i don't know
00:59:05.040
all the numbers but uh there's really low in net carbs it's real chocolate they've got flavors
00:59:10.640
like caramel brownie cookies and cream raspberry mint brownie it's incredible uh and they do a
00:59:16.140
great job coming out with new flavors all the time don't give up on your resolution bill bar is the
00:59:19.980
answer go to built bar.com use the promo code beck at 20 off your next order promo code is back for
00:59:28.680
do you realize this is not fda approved none of the vaccines have been fda approved well yeah i didn't
00:59:45.220
realize that until fauci was asked that by a uh a comedian from mexico the other day he did an
00:59:50.720
interview i don't know if it's the guy has a podcast and and it he asked him i understand
00:59:56.020
are these fda approved vaccines and they're not well they're emergency use authorized yeah is what
01:00:02.980
it is i mean the fda approval process takes i mean conservatives have complained about this forever
01:00:07.400
yeah you know it takes a long time it takes forever and you know half the time other countries are
01:00:12.320
approving these you know treatments before we do well we have people dying of slow acting diseases
01:00:18.440
so in the middle of a pandemic um the you know you're not gonna be able to wait the four years
01:00:24.840
for fda approval uh but you know what i think is interesting about this is i do think it would be
01:00:31.340
very difficult in court to win a battle on requiring it with fda without fda approval i think so too like
01:00:39.560
which i think if you happen to be skeptical on this and don't want to take it that is going to work in
01:00:43.400
your favor that will be something that helps someone will challenge that and i think we'll win i i don't
01:00:47.920
think you can force someone to take something that is under emergency use authorization that is a real
01:00:53.260
stretch when it comes to now i don't think you should be able to do it anyway even if it is approved
01:00:57.300
but you shouldn't be able to force people to take it but i think with a under emergency youth
01:01:03.360
use authorization i just don't think that there's any any way you can require it now we've all as
01:01:10.420
conservatives argued for a very long time on right to try uh legislation which by the way donald trump
01:01:17.160
was able to get through and it's really important because just because you don't get an fda approved
01:01:22.440
drug you should be able to try something that's experimental if your life is on the line and look
01:01:27.720
that's where we are that is where we are and i will say with with you know when you get to the point
01:01:33.380
where this gets widely used you know we hopefully will see the results like israel is seeing and really
01:01:41.100
i don't i don't know you're not you're not going to know for a while because it's really the absence
01:01:45.360
of these massive flare-ups which is going to tell the story rather than a drop right now it's still
01:01:49.620
too early uh to tell but if we can get back to to life as normal and this becomes something that is
01:01:55.700
more like the flu we're only like 100 people a day are dying which sucks but uh you know it's
01:02:01.260
something that we were used to right we're used to that level of risk we're not used to 4 000 people
01:02:05.800
a day yeah from a virus it's a lot but as far as getting back to normal it's starting to happen
01:02:11.540
we're seeing the first fruits of that uh beginning to sprout up like the texas rangers
01:02:17.540
gonna have full capacity when they open up on on opening day against america's team the toronto
01:02:23.220
blue jays i will be there america america's team from canada yes america's team yeah well actually
01:02:29.760
canada won't let them in right now they can't even play their games at home so they're they really
01:02:33.380
are america's team this time because they will really have a home at all

life mortgage rates began sinking over a year ago and they continued plummeting month after month to

the point that lately it hasn't even been weird to see mortgage rates in the two uh two percent range
01:03:08.420
and by the way i have one from american financing in the two percent range uh pretty amazing i never
01:03:13.940
thought i'd see mortgage rates in the twos there's absolutely no good reason not to give american
01:03:18.420
financing a call about this what if you could be saving hundreds of dollars a month what if it was
01:03:23.140
a thousand dollars a month can you really ignore that kind of money uh you wouldn't be restarting your
01:03:27.880
loan if you refinanced and you can genuinely save a ton of cash get yourself some debt
01:03:33.080
uh out of some debt um you know that you have right now maybe credit cards uh you don't need
01:03:38.140
those high rates go to american financing family owned company they've been uh helping people like
01:03:43.980
you like me for over 20 years the choice is clear call american financing 800-906-2440 or go to
01:03:50.920
americanfinancing.net it's 800-906-2440 and don't forget to use the promo code glenn

01:04:01.440
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program 888-727-BECK uh looks like to me
01:04:22.260
i think sharon osborne is probably not coming back to the show the talk no which i'm gonna miss her so
01:04:31.380
much on that show me too uh wow i mean great the times i've had watching her on that show you know
01:04:38.440
doing whatever it is she does on that show i think she talks essentially right if i'm not mistaken
01:04:45.820
on the talk uh sharon talks that is my understanding of the current situation although i don't think
01:04:53.000
it's lasting very no it's not frankly now she defended piers morgan and uh just kind of defended
01:05:00.280
him that he wasn't racist she's friends with piers morgan said he wasn't racist had this little back
01:05:06.140
and forth with one of the other talk people on the talk and uh so it created this big controversy
01:05:12.500
now the controversy has gotten considerably worse for her they've actually taken the show off of
01:05:20.340
the air for now because now they're saying that she has actually said racist things to and about
01:05:26.520
people uh including frequently referring to then co-host julie chan who's chinese-american
01:05:33.440
uh as two really uh disparaging things which probably get in trouble for even repeating um and then
01:05:41.920
she apparently said something about sarah gilbert who was the uh former co-host and executive
01:05:48.980
producer of the show i think she kind of developed the show right wasn't it hers she was one of the
01:05:54.320
yeah one of the founders of you definitely can't say what she said about her no i definitely can't say
01:05:57.820
that she's a lesbian and she used very derogatory uh terms uh to this is a shock i mean i i wouldn't
01:06:05.100
expect to hear foul mouth terms from an osborne and from ozzy osborne's wife yeah i mean right you
01:06:13.160
know you would think only the politest of things would come out of her mouth yeah it's really
01:06:17.200
disturbing that you could even hear nasty language coming from an osborne now where is our country
01:06:24.240
going i mean elbow yeah sure he was biting heads off bats on stage but i expected the most refined
01:06:31.800
yes culture possible and i didn't get it i'm surprised uh it is kind of stunning um but i think
01:06:40.140
her career is probably ended now yeah even though she's not gonna have she's not going to enjoy due
01:06:46.580
process i mean i don't think anybody has to prove she said these things she said she didn't obviously yeah
01:06:51.640
as you'd expect she said she did not do it now leah remini who was also on that show has come out
01:06:56.380
and said she did say those things to her as well so there's now like multiple people saying that she
01:07:01.320
didn't say these things so she's gonna have a tough time surviving this what i think is more interesting
01:07:05.980
look or is anyone surprised that sharon osborne would say offensive things like it is literally the
01:07:14.380
reason she's on the show you know she this is her entire persona is saying it's like saying like you
01:07:20.600
think simon cowell would say something bad right like he was not that he's accused of anything like
01:07:26.220
this but like you know he was insulting people that was kind of his his bag that's why he was on the
01:07:30.840
show yes and you know she was saying mean things and um some very offensive things uh about her
01:07:39.640
co-workers i'm not exactly stunned by this i don't think anyone else is either it's interesting because
01:07:45.160
it's not the it's not the thing that you say that crosses the line here if you're sharon osborne it's
01:07:49.260
the thing you say in defense of piers morgan that makes you a bad person yeah people come out after
01:07:55.020
you because you said look piers morgan isn't a racist and then people decide to say well you are
01:08:00.720
how can you judge piers morgan's racism when you yourself are a racist and if she did say these
01:08:09.120
things you think you make a pretty strong case that yeah she is although again like you said she
01:08:16.140
denies that she ever said these she does and i think too there is an element when you are a person
01:08:21.500
like an osborne i don't is she a racist i have no idea i don't know anything about her heart i don't
01:08:26.800
know anything about her mind uh you know but i'm not surprised to see her say something in the most
01:08:31.740
offensive way possible and like when she this was exactly what her entire show was like they all just
01:08:38.280
swore we remember this is the whole gig was they were just swearing all the time that's the only
01:08:42.460
reason she's on television is because she swear she said the f word a lot right and then so it's
01:08:47.440
not a surprise that she would come out and instead of saying uh you know uh lesbian she uh she would
01:08:55.560
use some other terms some other terms that were very offensive it is uh unsurprising to me
01:09:02.380
unsurprising um but i i the same thing happened with the roseanne bar situation though it's like you
01:09:07.800
know if you if you want someone who is going to you know to say all the things that you want her to
01:09:12.340
say you don't hire roseanne bar for a job she was all i mean she was literally on television calling
01:09:18.040
for the execution of ceos a few years before you hired her what the hell you think she was gonna do
01:09:23.100
you think you're gonna like all of her jokes like no she was seriously at calling for guillotines for
01:09:30.820
ceos of companies and then yeah she yes she also made an offensive joke online i i don't know i
01:09:37.740
wasn't surprised by it and you think if you hire someone who has that sort of reputation you're
01:09:43.400
hiring them knowing about those warts right knowing about the the concept that perhaps she was not a
01:09:52.480
great example of someone who's gonna have refined language behind the scenes that's not it's not a
01:09:58.380
surprise but again so she's gonna she's gonna be fired i don't think there's any way she can
01:10:03.220
survive it considering there's multiple people uh saying it and you know it goes like there's this
01:10:08.180
thing that happens that seems to go from oh can you believe her spunk she says all these crazy
01:10:14.620
things these offensive things she's just a spunky lady and then all of a sudden the same comment in
01:10:19.140
six months later has a totally different you know it's a lot of things look really bad when you
01:10:24.380
read them in the pages of like the new york times jokes don't look good there yeah and if she's
01:10:30.560
really good friends with uh sarah gilbert who and they might be they might be really good friends
01:10:35.520
sometimes you say things among friends that you know sounds really horrible to other people but you
01:10:42.060
guys are used to right because you're comfortable with each other and that's what you do it said the
01:10:47.700
morgan uh what's his face country star same thing with him i mean i i'm sure in the scope of being
01:10:54.380
he they said things all the time this time he happened to be heard by somebody else and so he
01:10:59.800
really uh got whacked for it yeah and look if there are obviously lines to this right i mean like you know
01:11:06.740
the fact that you hide your public's your private speech because you're saying you know viscerally
01:11:12.260
racist things behind the scenes and you're just hiding them publicly that's you know that's the type of
01:11:16.900
thing that these scandals are sort of designed to unearth right in that and it might be a good use of
01:11:22.660
those scandals there's a different a different category that gets applied a lot uh where people
01:11:28.200
say things that you know i mean you know we keep coming back to this this one bachelor story because
01:11:32.440
it's perhaps the clearest example but like this guy basically came out and said hey this you know
01:11:39.140
this 18 year old uh that was at a sorority and went to an antebellum party maybe we should at least
01:11:44.320
hear what she has to say and give her a little grace and see what what was going on in her mind
01:11:48.400
how dare you and how dare you now since then she has come out and said i know i can't he shouldn't
01:11:56.780
defend me i was terrible a terrible human being he came out and said i didn't realize how terrible
01:12:01.060
of a human being i was he got fired i was suspended first now basically fired and now the she wound up
01:12:09.100
winning did you know this winning the bachelor no girl who no the girl who went to the antebellum party
01:12:14.540
she actually won the bachelor they had the nice thing everything was working out fine now the
01:12:20.540
bachelor learned about her racist past quote unquote and now it broke it off with her because of that
01:12:25.920
because she went to an antebellum party as a sorority girl oh my gosh i mean it is completely
01:12:32.700
ridiculous there is no reason to believe any of the people associated with the story are racists
01:12:39.860
and i think everybody on earth knows it no except for the person who wore the dress
01:12:44.880
right the antebellum dress no clearly she's racist no no it was a dress that southerners wore
01:12:51.160
so well here's the thing pat um the best halloween costume i ever had in my entire life
01:12:57.120
when i was a little kid i was a three-headed skeleton and you know i think that doesn't sound like a great
01:13:03.260
costume at all no no it was my head in the middle and two inflatable heads on the side
01:13:07.520
and every house we went to said oh three-headed skeleton i guess you get three pieces of candy
01:13:12.060
then huh and it happened over and over and over again it was incredible the greatest night of my
01:13:16.580
life i did not however take up the opinions of other three-headed skeletons after wearing the
01:13:24.280
costume i i don't know what their opinions might be but i was not influenced by the costume i was
01:13:30.000
wearing i did not become that person i did not advocate for everything three-headed skeletons have
01:13:35.140
done in the past i did not take on the personality of a three-headed skeleton then why did you
01:13:39.940
appropriate their culture why did you do that because that's not how costumes work when you dress up
01:13:47.260
as some captain kirk you don't become captain kirk when you dress up as freddy krueger you don't become
01:13:55.760
a actual murderer you're dressing up uh representing you know think of all the costumes that this would
01:14:02.160
apply to if you dress up as i mean is burger king taking on all of the you know the the uh the the
01:14:08.780
personality and opinions of past kings who are executing their constituents i don't think so it seems
01:14:15.700
like a guy trying to sell burgers it's not the way costumes work costumes don't make you the people
01:14:21.720
you're dressing as really do i really need to explain this i'm glad america has this opportunity
01:14:26.960
to hear the hatred that spews out of your mouth on such a regular basis i just wow i just feel like
01:14:33.580
this should be obvious and it's not so stupid now that's different than it's so stupid what we're
01:14:39.940
talking about here but it just seems like everything gets you know blamed on this stuff right now there's
01:14:45.320
a story we were talking about briefly off the air from i think it's connecticut and it's a woman who
01:14:50.840
went into a a a bank and wanted to get her money the money that she had deposited a check the check
01:14:58.060
had cleared and uh the teller this is the quote it says she said she hands me my license and says
01:15:04.540
i don't feel comfortable giving you the money uh so i get confused and i said you don't feel comfortable
01:15:09.780
she said well you just deposited the check yesterday and she said well the check is cleared and she said oh
01:15:14.620
yeah it cleared the money is available i just don't feel comfortable giving it to you
01:15:18.360
what is the person trying to get the money a minority and that's the story pat yes the person
01:15:25.020
who i wanted to get the money was black so she wasn't comfortable because because she's black a
01:15:29.100
minority can't handle their own money now my guess is right that's that's the accusation i can't give
01:15:36.860
you your money because you're black now look i don't know the exact story so i of course you leave
01:15:41.980
these things open because we want to have results of whatever investigation might occur do they admit
01:15:46.080
that the teller said i'm not comfortable giving you your money uh she said they they say they can't
01:15:50.860
comment on why all because of security reasons but she did say it they don't confirm it they are
01:15:57.420
they say they're investigating it but again like that's bizarre would the are there any other black
01:16:03.060
customers at the bank right like you know i guess you could prove this pretty easily right are they
01:16:09.060
giving other black customers their money right that would kind of indicate maybe that it's not about the
01:16:15.160
color of the skin i have to imagine you know connecticut's not exactly uh you know uh a haven
01:16:21.080
for the kkk i don't know exactly if if i would like i just don't even understand how a policy like
01:16:28.280
that could exist in 2021 right what do you mean you're not going to give black people the money out
01:16:31.820
of their own accounts like i just can't be the explanation for this but it just immediately we
01:16:36.880
jumped down these roads every single time right if it can be if if we can take the worst accusation
01:16:43.020
the most divisive thing to say about someone and apply it to them we just do whether there's
01:16:47.400
evidence of it or not there is no evidence this guy chris harrison from the bachelor has any racist
01:16:52.500
attitudes whatsoever he didn't even advocate for the party he didn't even defend her he didn't even
01:17:00.620
say hey of course you should be able to go to a stupid dress-up party all he said was we should give
01:17:07.160
her some grace and we should at least hear what she has to say first and for that that was too much
01:17:12.140
a multi-million dollar job apparently yeah uh wow 888-727-BECK more patents too for glenn coming
01:17:19.340
up how much time would you like to spend grilling every week my you know i think everybody's answer
01:17:24.880
is more how much more time would you like to spend if you didn't have to stand there the whole time
01:17:28.940
and make sure that nothing got burned especially if the weather if it's going to get super hot in
01:17:32.820
the summer coming up wherever you are or if it's cold where you are now uh what if the grill did the
01:17:37.900
work for you and you get to just kind of stay inside in the perfect climate control such things
01:17:42.160
are no longer in the halls of science fiction because with the smart grill technology rec tech
01:17:46.980
has revolutionized the way you cook it grills it smokes it even bakes and it adjusts its own
01:17:52.880
temperature to make sure that you're getting the perfect cook every single time you can control it
01:17:56.840
from an app on your phone or device which is great for those hot days when you just want to sit inside
01:18:01.280
the air conditioning ah yes but don't take my word for it you should get the time to a b compare
01:18:06.260
the rec tech to its competitors what you're going to find though is that rec tech doesn't really have
01:18:11.220
competitors they just have pretenders rec tech follow them on social media r-e-c-t-e-q sign up
01:18:17.580
for their newsletter rec tech with a q at the end r-e-c-t-e-q dot com rec tech dot com
01:18:24.920
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program triple a 727 b-e-c-k uh mitch mcconnell has warned
01:18:42.140
of a scorched earth senate if the filibuster goes away i'm glad that they're at least trying to
01:18:49.360
trying to do something that would prevent the democrats from just driving over the top of
01:18:56.840
them completely and just getting anything done they want to in the next at least the next two
01:19:02.240
years before the midterm elections um so at least they're trying to prevent uh the nuclear option
01:19:10.580
from happening because i i think that's exactly where we're headed it does well they're not going
01:19:15.840
to get rid of the filibuster because joe manchin promised us that he wouldn't vote for it you have
01:19:20.380
to understand his word is as good as gold in every way possible oh i trust him you're talking about
01:19:27.760
the incredibly moderate uh joe manchin yes and he will stand up against this he will not show one
01:19:34.300
little bit of wavering with the exception of the wavering he's already done and of course the wavering
01:19:39.280
he has scheduled for next week um but uh but just that amount of wavering and then no more he's not
01:19:44.620
going to get rid of the filibuster pat they're just going to get rid of the filibuster on votes
01:19:48.780
where they don't want the filibuster oh they're just going to reform it so that when they need
01:19:54.760
to pass something with only 50 votes they can just pass something with 50 votes that's not getting rid
01:19:59.620
of the filibuster the filibuster will still be there in some way but i'll tell you it's not it's just not
01:20:05.980
there for that important vote and that vote is too important and look to allow the filibuster you see
01:20:11.220
what the republicans are doing i do they're getting in the way of progress in every way possible well
01:20:17.700
mcconnell promised that the senate would become a 100 car pileup where even the most basic aspects of
01:20:23.740
business would be blocked he would grind it to a legislative halt if democrats uh engage the nuclear
01:20:31.400
option that bastard you know he will too you know he will yep and that's why like you said they'll
01:20:39.380
only eliminate the filibuster for really important things and then you know it'll serve mcconnell
01:20:44.500
right frankly it'll serve him right yeah i mean look they couldn't have predicted these republicans
01:20:49.080
would be so obstructionist so they have to make this maneuver they didn't want to i mean i promised
01:20:54.240
on cnn over and over again i wouldn't do it and i know so i don't i don't take this lightly but
01:20:57.960
these republicans are just too much and they're too in the way they forced his hand they forced his
01:21:02.180
hand there's nothing we could do it's really their fault when you think about it
01:21:05.140
uh by the way uh our uh sponsor here is home title lock uh you never thought covid could cost
01:21:21.560
you your home but it's happened to people because cybercrime is up 75 uh through the pandemic i think
01:21:27.980
that's just because like you know hackers are home too they're just like bored and they're just on their
01:21:32.140
computer all the time um hacking you uh and home title theft is one of their big target targets now
01:21:37.600
cybercriminals foreign and domestic are now after our home titles and that means that they can get
01:21:43.520
your equity if you have equity built up in your home and many of us do because that's really the
01:21:47.760

01:25:09.480
must have really thrown his back out uh quite badly um so uh there's been a little bit of delay on the
01:25:15.980
the special on tonight's uh special um i think that'll probably happen next wednesday instead
01:25:21.100
uh 888-727-BECK uh joe biden last night on uh with with uh george stefanopoulos and stefanopoulos
01:25:30.140
actually pressed him on the crisis going on at the border which of course to the biden administration
01:25:34.660
isn't a crisis at all uh it's the same thing that's it's been happening for years and and this
01:25:40.820
is all donald trump's fault anyway um here's stefanopoulos that's actually asking him some
01:25:46.940
decent questions about the border a lot of the migrants coming in saying they're coming in because
01:25:51.800
you promised to make things better it seems to be getting worse by the day was it a mistake not
01:25:58.780
to anticipate this surge well first of all there was a surge the last two years and and and 19 and 20
01:26:05.980
there was a surge as well this one might be worse no well it could be but here's the deal we're
01:26:10.920
sending back people to first of all first of the idea that joe biden said come because i i heard the
01:26:17.580
other day that they're they're coming because they know i'm a nice guy and i won't do it because you
01:26:22.660
told them to well here's the deal here's that they're not they're not do you have to say quite
01:26:26.740
what do you mean they're good follow-up there yes i can say quite clearly here's the deal they're
01:26:31.100
in the process of getting set up don't leave your town or city community okay democrats get to say
01:26:38.400
this every time and it's not unbelievable you know don't leave your sound town or city is the thing
01:26:42.840
that donald trump would say and that would be hateful when he said it and xenophobic yeah yeah you
01:26:47.500
should well you shouldn't you know he's right on that point if you want to give him a very narrow
01:26:51.020
he's correct you shouldn't illegally come to another country in any circumstance other than
01:26:56.820
good safety tip potentially like a massive war going on in your country and you're escaping as a
01:27:03.840
refugee really there's no reason to do this it's not from not for economic benefit uh that's not what
01:27:10.220
these laws are set up to do and honestly illegally you shouldn't ever come you should you know come as
01:27:15.280
a refugee in certain circumstances well biden denies that he is responsible at all for this
01:27:22.040
but let's go back to the campaign and the promise he made essentially to the people of mexico and
01:27:27.360
central and south america uh when he talked about the first hundred days of his administration cut
01:27:33.260
number two they're there seeking asylum first time ever we've told people they can't come to america
01:27:39.480
that ends the cage is closed that ends cages are closed and and in the first 100 days he goes on to
01:27:46.540
say that you know the they're gonna they can come here essentially and uh and receive asylum from the
01:27:53.560
united states of america like we've never told them before not to come yeah and by the way uh they
01:27:59.740
the cages are open uh just so you know they're now open come on in you're going to cageville
01:28:06.300
everybody uh right uh cage town and they're at full capacity too beyond full capacity yep the cages
01:28:12.780
i mean the average is something like 300 of pre-covid capacity so i mean democrats were weeping over it
01:28:21.760
they they would literally have press conferences where they would break down and weep openly about how
01:28:29.560
inhumane it was donald trump treating these these children that came across the border that were ripped
01:28:38.040
that were torn from the arms of their crying mothers and then tossed into these cages like animals
01:28:46.040
uh all of that was uh so tragic uh under donald trump and now now it's just the humane thing to do
01:28:56.620
now what else are we supposed to do with them they're they're just all here without their parents
01:29:01.720
and we've got to find some place for them and we don't know where they belong and we're trying really
01:29:06.280
hard to find their parents um so what are we supposed to do other than put them in these
01:29:12.060
facilities they're facilities now they're not cages no now they're just facilities they're wonderful
01:29:17.440
facilities i went back by the way pat and i think you'll remember the story when alexandria ocasio
01:29:23.280
cortez these photos came out of her at the border and she was crying at a fence you remember these
01:29:28.600
things i do yeah and you know the people were kind of mocking them as sort of looking very staged
01:29:33.480
and they they were actually taken before aoc was like a figure a public figure she was running for
01:29:40.420
office but like no one knew who she was at this point and i went back and just glanced at those
01:29:45.540
they are among the most cringeworthy photos i've ever seen in my life i'd love to see them she it
01:29:52.880
they now she claims this was a real moment and the photographer says it was a real moment of
01:29:58.260
emotion overtaking her yeah they look so cringy and staged and you know she's standing in front of
01:30:06.280
this fence and it is like down the road a long like driveway if you will to a facility so people
01:30:16.000
were saying oh she's just in front of an empty lot it's not true exactly like you know she was near
01:30:21.000
the facility it was as close as she could get i mean they weren't allowing people in inside
01:30:25.180
but still like i just i don't know it's like can you know i don't i'm trying to think of like if you
01:30:30.200
were if you went to a meet a site that somehow meant something to you but you could barely see
01:30:36.100
it in the distance it's it doesn't seem like it would evoke the emotion and then it just like it
01:30:41.320
just doesn't look real it looks like she's just standing there fake crying for the camera i mean
01:30:48.820
it did i don't know what it is seeing them again after knowing her because when you first saw them
01:30:54.740
she was kind of in the news and it wasn't a huge story at the time knowing how awful she is and how
01:31:01.740
her her only goal in life is to pander to cameras you know all she does all the time is go on instagram
01:31:09.480
live and run her mouth about god knows what about she doesn't know how the freaking you know garbage
01:31:14.320
disposal works or whatever she talks about and to see these photos in that light now that we know
01:31:21.520
kind of who she is oh they're cringy are you are you looking at them did you bring i'm trying to find
01:31:25.700
them i haven't seen them yet i have to say they are so cringy and we had them on the we we showed
01:31:31.480
briefly on the show the other day on studios america uh and it's just oh it gives you that feeling
01:31:37.680
inside your stomach when you realize like someone's like trying uh like a really bad actor or actress
01:31:44.900
who's trying to pull off a role and failing and like everyone around you knows that they're failing
01:31:49.500
to get that like tightness in your stomach and it's like oh god this is so cringy that's what it feels
01:31:54.400
like when you look at them i know she said something early on when it came out again that that biden is
01:31:59.520
using the cages and she actually said something uh negative about it moderately moderately negative
01:32:06.520
not was it wasn't a literal concentration camp when joe biden was no that's for sure
01:32:11.060
uh but she's been amazingly silent since i think she said one thing about it and then she shut her
01:32:16.580
mouth about it she said like this is wrong it's always been wrong that's what it was donald trump
01:32:21.080
is evil you know it was like that type of thing like it's pretty much yeah you know totally different
01:32:25.120
standard and of course all these things that she talked about you know she complained about wanting
01:32:28.720
this 15 minimum wage and how she was going to hold up the process she didn't vote against
01:32:32.600
against the bill it's amazing she let it go through anyway because she's just like so many
01:32:37.760
other democrats you know there's no there's nothing there and back in late february glenn tweeted out
01:32:42.760
uh maybe you guys talked about this at the time just for the record the biden administration is
01:32:48.060
separating children and parents did you talk about that at the time because politifact fact
01:32:52.700
checked that they are separating children and parents yes glenn beck said that that the evil
01:32:57.540
glenn beck uh with his hatefulness i love this one this is the one where he said a full sentence
01:33:04.680
and they fact checked half the sentence they actually broke the sentence into two pieces so
01:33:10.100
they could give him a false ranking that's unbelievable and and and like well i don't
01:33:14.720
understand why this is better what is happening now this is their argument when donald trump was
01:33:20.360
president a mom and a son would come across the border and the mom would get arrested for coming
01:33:26.100
across the border they didn't want to throw the son into jail right yes so they would detain them in
01:33:32.620
two different places that was the separation of children from parents that we heard so much about
01:33:37.060
right right right what's happening now is the parents at some point before they cross the border
01:33:43.160
are having their children go ahead of them by themselves so they're now crossing the border
01:33:47.600
solo instead of with their parent they're still separate they just separated on the other side of the
01:33:53.840
border and that means donald trump is evil and hitler and literal concentration camp guy and joe biden is
01:34:00.820
totally fine and they act as if donald trump had his minions down at the border stealing babies from
01:34:09.160
the arms of their of their parents when in fact it was mostly teenagers then like it's mostly teenagers
01:34:16.500
now it was it was older children and teens yeah i don't think a lot of babies were torn from the
01:34:24.760
the arms of their mothers as they carried across the border now we're i mean what we're looking at
01:34:29.580
right now is 15 16 and 17 year olds largely yeah now look are those quote-unquote children i mean the
01:34:35.060
lies of the law sure they're underage uh but you know it's a different story than what you picture
01:34:41.620
and you know they will use the photos to elicit emotion they will find the one younger child who
01:34:49.320
happens to be in a large group and and focus on them who doesn't know what's going on i mean
01:34:53.780
obviously they use this they use these photos for their advantage just like these aoc photos i think
01:34:58.320
we have them now have you if we if you're oh good look at oh yeah look at that it's just no that just
01:35:06.000
happened to be uh somebody walking by with a camera at the same time that aoc started breaking
01:35:13.800
down it is if you're clearly spontaneous if you if you happen to be on blaze tv it's it's it's worth
01:35:19.900
watching because it basically you have the there's a couple different vibes here you have one vibe where
01:35:25.560
she's looking like a sad puppy dog at the camera which is just hysterical and then the other one where
01:35:32.240
she's standing by herself and awkwardly bending over in her pristine white clothing and her nice
01:35:38.620
new watch and she's kind of just like crying i like i just it doesn't seem it bent her in half
01:35:44.740
yeah it bent her in half the grief bent her in half the grief of these children being taken from
01:35:51.680
their parents bent her in half and look there are a lot of sad stories on the border this is why we say
01:35:56.420
we should have it under control i mean there are really terrible tragic stories that happen on the
01:36:00.260
border all the time people who are convinced by democrats largely that this is not really an
01:36:07.440
offense that it's basically it's less than a speeding ticket because you don't even get fined
01:36:12.180
and we and you know they come across the border thinking they're going to get a better life because
01:36:16.080
democrats are screaming that uh that it's possible and now they see biden as the quote migrant president
01:36:22.460
the mexican president said that these migrants see joe biden as the migrant president
01:36:27.700
and they they're coming here because they believe it's okay but they believe because half the country
01:36:35.000
and all of the media is saying it it's okay and just to accentuate that point uh we have one of the
01:36:41.160
migrants actually uh speaking about this uh let me see uh uh did it did we have this today or
01:36:53.760
um yeah okay here's here's one of the migrants talking about joe biden actually what i want for
01:36:59.280
my people i just want patience and peace that we can get to the u.s because they're having a new
01:37:04.320
president versus biden he's going to help all of us he's giving us a hundred days to get to the u.s
01:37:10.840
and give us legal mental paper so we can get a better life for our kids and family isn't that great
01:37:17.060
so so they got it right from joe biden he's giving them a hundred days to get here and just have a
01:37:23.960
better life for him and his family and i look we that's amazing it is amazing and we as conservatives
01:37:30.200
would look at this and say a lot of times we'll say like you shouldn't come across the border
01:37:33.740
and you know it's a bad idea blah blah blah and that's of course true but it's also like you from
01:37:39.040
their perspective the messaging they're getting from the entire media and uh not to mention the
01:37:45.720
candidate himself and all of his allies in congress is it's mean if we send you back
01:37:51.880
yeah if we say hey you know we're going to deport you that's the mean thing we're not going to do
01:37:56.560
that anymore he campaigned on it of course they believe they can come in they we've been they've
01:38:02.660
been we've been telling you this for months and months and months and months if joe biden gets in
01:38:07.920
everything's going to be fine well of course they believe they can come in of course they do
01:38:11.900
he told them yeah i mean he essentially told them that look i'm your guy i'm your president too
01:38:19.160
because i'm going to invite you in that's what he did that's the message they got yeah and they're
01:38:25.000
not experts on the law of the united states think about this like sure you could say okay it's against
01:38:29.840
the law but like when the the leader of the nation and all of the big democrats are all saying
01:38:35.140
it's basically okay well of course that's the impression they're going to have it's basically
01:38:40.940
okay yeah it might be frowned upon yeah you know i mean they're not going to like fly you in and
01:38:47.120
give you a welcome ceremony but at the end of the day you're going to come in you're going to be
01:38:50.660
in a facility for a couple of days and get released into the country and you're going to get what you
01:38:54.840
want and anything other than that is mean and hitler and literal concentration camps so of course
01:39:00.840
they believe this is okay you know i mean if if you had a speeding limit of you know a speed limit
01:39:06.780
of 55 but the the governor the the sheriff the police force were all saying it's actually 75 you
01:39:14.560
guys can all go 75 what the hell would you do you go 75 right i do anyway so yes the answer to that is
01:39:21.660
yes all right so uh you've announced to your family that you're going to be moving soon and as you feared
01:39:29.840
your sister's kid has offered to become your real estate agent oh no after all he's been doing it on

01:39:45.640

01:40:49.300
it's really sad story apparently there's a shortage now of songbirds and uh what yeah yeah male songbirds
01:41:10.780
usually learn their tunes uh from their adult mentors but when these aspiring songbirds
01:41:19.140
lack proper role models they hit the wrong notes in their songs and then they have less success
01:41:25.820
uh with the with the ladies well attracting mates it's tough it's it's been going on for a while now
01:41:34.560
and so there's only about three to four hundred wild birds left today while male birds once formed
01:41:41.460
large winter flocks now they're sparsely distributed across the landscape and a lot of them just fly
01:41:47.080
solo which means fewer of them have mentors to teach them the songs that they need to attract
01:41:55.100
uh their mate song learning in many birds is a process similar to humans learning languages they
01:42:01.820
learn by listening to other individuals if you can't listen to other individuals uh you don't know
01:42:08.220
what you should be learning and apparently now none of them know any zeppelin songs at all anymore
01:42:13.360
and uh and apparently the female birds really like led zeppelin really they used to sing a lot of
01:42:20.240
berry white too and yeah and now it's mostly da baby songs and that just that's not doing it for
01:42:26.660
them apparently the baby doesn't work quite as well really as the berry white tunes they used to sing
01:42:32.860
unconventional male singers were less successful in wooing mates scientists have found
01:42:38.760
we think the females are avoiding breeding and nesting with males that sing unusual songs
01:42:45.860
typical typical females so hard to please apparently they're learning songs from other species of birds
01:42:53.540
and so the songbird females don't like the songs they're learning from other female from other
01:43:00.320
from other birds and so uh they won't mate they just that's tragic when male birds
01:43:08.740
sing it's like putting out an ad saying i'm over here i'm species x i'm bob and i'm really
01:43:17.200
interested in finding a partner that's that's what they're saying but then things go wrong if the
01:43:22.900
males uh sing the wrong songs and uh the females don't respond to it i believe in global warming for
01:43:28.360
all of us that's exactly what the problem is it's global warming it's shocking it is global warming
01:43:35.120
it's changed their migratory patterns and uh now they don't learn the songs they need in order to
01:43:41.240
mate because the migratory patterns because of their migratory patterns and too many of them flying
01:43:47.780
solo and aren't learning the songs that they need to attract the females sad this is the glenn back
01:43:53.640
program remember when trillions seemed like a lot of money
01:43:57.720
it was a long time ago now yeah a year ago too long ago two years ago maybe where trillions seemed
01:44:05.360
like oh my gosh a trillion dollar bill now we do that like every day every day or two we got another
01:44:10.360
trillion dollar bill going out the door um that is just kind of passed into existence and you think
01:44:16.380
of how big that number is it is a real problem you know what's going on with our economy you know
01:44:21.780
what's going on with our dollar about 400 billion dollars of the stimulus package went to direct
01:44:25.620
checks the rest of it i mean much of it went to all sorts of crazy projects and nonsense
01:44:32.340
and of course uh you know you know that we're just borrowing this money anyway where is the dollar
01:44:38.900
going to go from here you need to be able to have some sort of backing that is based in something real

01:46:28.420
think i ever will but i did i will say i didn't have much of a feeling about him until the covid
01:46:32.580
situation i didn't really regard him in any either way i mean he was a liberal governor governor of new
01:46:36.920
york that obviously i disagreed with and we just didn't pay much attention to him yeah and he seemed
01:46:41.240
to be better than like bill de blasio as far as policy i would have said yes that's true right if i
01:46:47.340
had to point to one they're both sucked but he wasn't the worst politician in new york right now it's
01:46:52.760
hard to do to deny anything and i think like to get a guy like andrew cuomo thrown out of office for
01:46:59.220
him to actually resign you basically i would say need all of these things to happen you need to
01:47:04.500
have local officials first of all none of this means you need to have democrats i mean the republicans
01:47:09.360
don't matter at all on this situation and obviously republicans are going to call for him his uh
01:47:14.060
resignation doesn't matter you need local democrats first of all we have those in space
01:47:19.260
republicans have no power in new york virtually none no you need uh new york congress people the
01:47:25.800
majority now the congressional uh delegation have called for his resignation yeah so you have that
01:47:31.220
you need new york the new york senators both of them came out this past week and said joe by uh that
01:47:38.100
adrew cuomo should resign jillibrand and schumer and schumer yeah they both came out they did it on
01:47:42.640
friday night which is somewhat revealing to me yeah but it did happen then you need the other two things
01:47:48.460
only two that you have left i think are big democratic national figures unrelated to new york
01:47:55.020
so i'm talking about you know nancy pelosi you're talking talk about like a big um a dick durbin
01:48:03.700
right again these prominent influential democrats that are unrelated to new york politics giving that
01:48:11.440
sense that essentially they're noticing this too this happened with like al franken for example
01:48:15.580
you had people like kirsten jillibrand from new york calling for his resignation uh and it kind of
01:48:21.280
adds to the momentum and that's why it happened and then you need the executive branch now we don't
01:48:27.740
have that i would say we don't at this point have national regular national democrats but we uh we have
01:48:33.060
a comment from biden people are making a big deal about this i'm not sure it's as big a deal as as
01:48:38.800
people are saying uh here it is this is joe biden talking about andrew cuomo let me ask you about
01:48:43.360
governor cuomo of new york i know you've said you want the investigation to continue if the
01:48:47.860
investigation confirms the claims of the women should he resign yes i think he probably ended up
01:48:53.940
being prosecuted too oh yeah well that's that's a little that's stronger than he's been stronger than
01:48:59.800
he's been because the other day he just said well let's let this play out and see what happens that
01:49:04.200
was basically what he said right although he said it like this are you playing a sound clip of biden
01:49:12.960
saying it right now because that's exactly how he sounded yes it's amazing because he is at times
01:49:19.920
at certain times during the day gone he's completely the lights are on but nobody's home inside and then
01:49:27.220
other times i don't know if it's when he's well rested or if he's just had his medication but he can
01:49:34.020
be somewhat sharp like he sort of used to be not as sharp as he used to be but you can see that okay
01:49:40.620
he yeah he's there he's there like in that interview i think he was there and i think his team and his
01:49:48.480
wife uh the evil lady mcbiden uh prep him for these things and they they plan accordingly for when he has to
01:49:59.720
do like a george stefanopoulos interview or he's got uh something that he's going to do on network
01:50:06.440
television and so he can get through brief moments of the day yeah it's tough too because we
01:50:11.940
we'll see first of all he's not appearing in long form often hardly ever almost never and if you watch
01:50:18.920
only conservative media and you know obviously i like conservative media and we're on a conservative
01:50:23.120
you know we're conservative media platform you do tend to get a lot of highlights of him just
01:50:29.060
losing his mind where he's just he's where it's clear that something's wrong yeah and so those are
01:50:34.540
the ones that get a lot of play on conservative media when you watch biden in long form he's bad
01:50:41.200
but not as bad as we picture him he does have moments of coherence yes you notice it in the debates
01:50:46.600
he's lucid sometimes he wasn't he you kind of walk going in those debates the the the hurdle for him
01:50:52.480
to clear was so low i mean people were like is he going to come out and just like start yelling the
01:50:56.580
word squirrel repeatedly i don't we didn't know what was going to happen right and he you know i'm not
01:51:01.580
saying he did well in the debates but he was able to at least form sentences but the other thing is he's
01:51:06.060
worse since then even then yeah it does seem like look if he was better than then if he was equal to
01:51:13.380
then they wouldn't be hiding him right they are hiding they are clearly hiding him and they don't
01:51:20.000
want you to think or to remember that joe biden is president of the united states they are they are
01:51:25.920
just kind of hoping you forget about it let them pass their bills don't worry about it you know what
01:51:31.000
he's no longer a factor in your life and there's a lot of people i will say in the united states who
01:51:35.460
are thankful for that because they felt that donald trump and his giant media presence was intrusive to
01:51:42.480
their life whether they liked him or not he was just always there every story was about trump this
01:51:47.640
isn't i mean trump you know of course encourages this he loves the media he loves being the center
01:51:52.660
of attention for this stuff but also the media overdid it and they all they made him part of
01:51:57.800
stories he had no role in constantly yeah and then trump would tweet about a story he had no role in and
01:52:03.360
then he'd become that story and there was a lot of i mean part of the election story was told
01:52:08.080
where people were just kind of just tired of the constant presence of the president in their life
01:52:15.160
i don't think that's a great design for this country frankly i i mean trump did it well and
01:52:19.960
used it to his advantage many times but i don't really want a president who in my face all the time
01:52:25.100
it's a little bit fatiguing it is and so i think a lot of people especially people who don't really
01:52:30.340
follow politics or care about these things kind of are liking the idea they don't hear from biden
01:52:36.680
and the democrats are i think smartly taking advantage of that and they're passing all sorts
01:52:44.820
of incredibly damaging bills and and efforts to our country yeah that i think they're getting away
01:52:51.560
with because the media is always asleep at the wheel biden's asleep at the wheel and they they
01:52:57.380
take advantage of the fact that people don't really want to hear from him and there are people who are
01:53:01.280
just fatigued with politics in general and just don't want to hear it anymore i just was talking to
01:53:06.400
some friends over the weekend at a uh at a wedding reception that we were at and they were saying
01:53:11.400
to me where just i can't take it i just can't take it and so i've turned off and i'm like i i can't
01:53:17.600
hardly blame you it's natural no but it's it's dangerous it is especially when there's really no
01:53:23.220
one to stop the democrats from doing what they're doing 1.9 trillion dollar bill they jam-packed that
01:53:29.720
thing even if you take the most aggressive and favorable view of that bill for the democrats
01:53:37.180
still you're you're basically at a third that was somewhat related to covid you could argue right
01:53:44.040
even though a lot of it was still nonsense you go to that's two-thirds of this bill you know you're
01:53:50.700
talking a trillion dollars which they just a trillion dollars plus where they just basically
01:53:55.100
put through a bunch of democratic priorities that would have in other contexts been giant
01:54:00.480
debates in our country where we would fight back and forth about how wait this is way too much money
01:54:04.360
to spend on x y and z this we shouldn't spend any money on this and they just dumped it into this bill
01:54:09.220
because it does seem like every president gets one bill that is not controversial like you know i mean
01:54:15.580
even if it is controversial you get it through and he this he took this one bill and took real
01:54:20.620
advantage of it we have asked the republicans to do such things many times and they don't do it
01:54:25.380
no they can't for some reason trump was the best thing that could have ever happened to republicans
01:54:30.100
on policy because he dominated the news coverage so much they could have put anything through no one
01:54:37.080
cared about policy for four years no one talked about policy all they had to do was just send it
01:54:44.520
through send it through and you know what when we're about to take the vote don do you mind tweeting
01:54:49.320
about uh i don't know uh morning joe say something denigrating about mika and then the entire media
01:54:59.040
will be talking about that and we'll pass health care reform they could have done all of these
01:55:03.180
things yeah and they did not take advantage of it i mean it was a real it could have been couldn't
01:55:08.740
even do the one thing that everybody wanted to to do and that was to get rid of obamacare
01:55:14.740
yeah the thing they promised us they swore up and down as soon as we can do this can't do it right
01:55:20.540
now but when we have both houses and the executive office why then then we can do it yep and they
01:55:29.320
didn't do it yep didn't do it and really the only thing they got done legislatively that was
01:55:34.820
controversial was the tax bill which was moderately okay i mean i don't it wasn't a terrible bill but it
01:55:40.860
was not a it was not something i was inspired by right and it you know it didn't inspire america
01:55:46.200
and it's going to be completely negated now yep because we're going to get a massive tax increase
01:55:50.760
and they'll get the tax increase through they'll get the tax increase through yeah they may have to
01:55:55.060
wait a year to do it but they'll get it through in this in this first two years yeah because they
01:55:59.220
will they will be able to get it through with 50 votes and guess what once again joe manchin
01:56:04.740
will not protect you wait what joe manchin he said though i know he will not protect you
01:56:10.160
he will not but he promised and we're probably going to get a minimum wage thing too don't you
01:56:14.380
think oh absolutely i mean i don't think we get to 15 an hour i don't think they'll get there i
01:56:20.380
could see a compromise of 12 i could see 10 to 12 i mean there are i mean mitt romney has come out
01:56:26.140
and said he'll vote for 10 bucks an hour well here's the thing i can't support my family of 10
01:56:30.560
on seven dollars and 25 cents an hour you know and that's what i've been trying to do my whole
01:56:35.420
life really yes yeah first of all let me so it's kind of weird i should help you negotiate your next
01:56:41.500
contract here but i also think it's not designed so you think i'm underpaid at 7.25 an hour there's
01:56:49.000
a lot of people who think i'm overpaid at that number a lot of listeners are like wow that's way too
01:56:54.060
much wow he's making that kind of money yeah wow that's not worth it but it's not designed
01:56:59.460
to to do this support families it's designed to support a 15 year old just getting into the
01:57:05.220
workforce yeah you know uh this is pretty interesting we're talking about minimum wage
01:57:08.720
there's a the daily today which is the flagship podcast of the new york times um had a uh their
01:57:16.540
podcast today was dedicated to the minimum wage um and i'm sure they're pushing it of course they're
01:57:22.060
pushing it obviously they're pushing it however it was pretty interesting because it was their case
01:57:27.320
was not hey fairness hey this will be wonderful for everyone their case was more nuanced and they
01:57:34.720
and they did handle it i think uh as fairly as you could expect the new york times to handle it what
01:57:40.020
was interesting though is they were making the case that economists have always been against the
01:57:45.900
minimum wage and now they've turned they now think it's a good thing and it's not going to be
01:57:50.680
damaging to society oh it's not going to hurt businesses small businesses apparently not okay
01:57:54.980
although there was a conversation they did mention that debate right and we like you know josh hawley
01:57:59.420
is pitching a bill where he's agreeing with the democrats yes 15 an hour minimum wage a republican
01:58:04.500
senator 15 an hour minimum wage but only on big companies is his line um uh which i to me it's
01:58:13.440
like i'd rather have at least two parties i feel like having one party and having people act like they
01:58:18.200
don't like each other but then voting for the same things is not a great formula yeah but i guess i guess
01:58:23.580
that's where we are right now there's a big there's a big push and minimum wage has been one of the
01:58:28.880
most popular uh items in public policy for a very long time well yeah because nobody explains why it it's a
01:58:40.880
bad thing everybody you know they buy into the hype from the democrats that you can't you can't live on
01:58:46.900
on 725 in manhattan oh no but who's trying to do that number one let them set their minimum wage
01:58:55.320
then and by the way that's what's happened all over the country so the minimum wage in the country is
01:58:59.680
not 725 it is in certain low priced areas but even cities raise it all over the place but just to tell
01:59:08.140
you how far we've come here pat 1987 january 14th an op-ed from the new york times editorial board
01:59:16.060
so like their official kind of position the headline is the right minimum wage zero dollars
01:59:23.140
and zero cents oh my gosh that's how far we've come from 1987 a long long way wow
01:59:31.320
all right well michael lives in connecticut he was living for years with pain in his elbow
01:59:40.540
now that might not sound like it's that bad but your elbow is one of the worst places to have pain
01:59:44.780
because your joints get inflamed even when you're being still you can't move your elbow you can't
01:59:50.900
get it comfortable needless to say michael really was miserable and in serious pain tried for a long
01:59:57.100
time to find a way to get rid of that pain and nothing really worked some things would help for
02:00:01.460
a short while but ultimately the pain would come back then one day michael heard glenn talking about
02:00:07.440
relief factor and decided to give it a try i mean it's only 20 bucks for the the trial thing so you
02:00:12.020
might as well give it a whirl see what happens well the old story is true here michael got his life
02:00:16.640
back and the pain is gone relief factor isn't a drug but it was developed by doctors and 70 of the
02:00:22.340
people who try relief factor go on to buy more they're not insane they're buying it because it
02:00:27.720
works for them will it work for you give it a shot three week quick start the trial pack is only
02:00:32.800
1995 go to relieffactor.com or call them at 800-583-84 it's relieffactor.com or 800-583-84
02:00:43.800
uh welcome pat and stew from glenn hopefully glenn will be uh feeling better and back uh tomorrow
02:00:57.040
do you can you tell that story of your friend with the businesses uh yeah i was talking to a friend who's
02:01:01.460
uh who does really well um and has several businesses and i i asked him uh that over the
02:01:07.100
weekend how his businesses were going in the covid era and he said well uh to give you an idea went
02:01:12.600
into the covid situation with three businesses and 450 employees and i came out of it with one business
02:01:19.000
and 150 employees and it was the best year i've ever had and he went on to explain that you know he
02:01:27.000
was kind of struggling a little bit with those two businesses that went out of business and he said so
02:01:32.600
they needed to go anyway and and his theory was that a lot of businesses that were on shaky ground
02:01:39.020
just uh were put out of their misery essentially yeah and it's like clearing out the dead brush in a
02:01:46.660
forest you know right creative destruction right it's a you know a capitalistic principle the one that
02:01:51.880
is doing well you can focus on and make it thrive even more and in theory right the new businesses
02:01:57.320
will prop up and those 300 people who lost their job hopefully have been able to slide into a new
02:02:02.380
business that is thriving instead of one that's struggling and was going to go out of business
02:02:05.720
eventually anyway that's the theory and the hope that's the hope it's going to be a tough with all
02:02:10.060
this government money eventually it's going to dry up and where do we go from there it's going to be
02:02:14.580
it's going to be a hell of a thing to watch that's for sure this is the glenn back program
