00:01:00.540 some reason anyway uh it looks like governor gavin newsom's on uh some pretty uh pretty slippery
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 in about 60 seconds the glenn beck program there's a group of people out there who are waiting just

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

00:15:56.180 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

00:22:50.520 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

00:42:04.020 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

00:44:11.960 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
00:59:25.340 20 off built bar.com 10 seconds station id
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
01:02:35.940 this is the glenbeck program american financing nmls 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
01:02:47.660 if you're a homeowner and you're the type who is fiscally responsible right now you could get
01:02:52.480 uh just a great new mortgage uh and you're just a phone call away from a change in your financial
01:02:58.240 life mortgage rates began sinking over a year ago and they continued plummeting month after month to
01:03:03.380 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

01:04:01.440 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 kind of the way we retire in the united states uh you you know that uh if that goes away you're in big

01:23:08.260 uh we'll share with you some of the thoughts uh again of of joe biden last night with uh george
01:23:15.440 stephanopoulos where he uh he pretty much denied that he ever said that you should come right now
01:23:23.260 uh within the next hundred days if you're a migrant and you'll be allowed in we'll share with you that
01:23:30.460 campaign promise in just a minute and then what he had to say uh last night to george stephanopoulos
01:23:35.800 that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds
01:23:38.420 the glenn back program ah it seemed like such a good idea at the time this is the line applied to
01:23:48.400 all sorts of things going to that youth summer camp where all those teenagers got murdered 10 years ago
01:23:52.920 telling your wife that yes she does look fat in that dress and of course the granddaddy of all bad
01:23:58.380 ideas buying into that timeshare that you never use now you're stuck with owning a portion of a
01:24:03.760 property that you don't control and probably can't visit most of the time or at least can't visit in

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

01:39:39.740 look at that kid if you be honest with yourself you know you know i mean maybe he's ready to to to
01:39:45.640 microwave some popcorn for you that's about it he's probably a crappy real estate agent and that's
01:39:50.480 why he's not on realestateagentsitrust.com the professionals we uh we have on realestateagentsitrust.com

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
01:44:44.500 the u.s dollar is in serious trouble it's time to plan think about your retirement it's time to start

01:45:56.140 a new clip from joe biden he's speaking out after being asked about the andrew cuomo situation of
01:46:04.500 course you should note that andrew cuomo is awful dot com and this is an interesting new theory for
01:46:12.600 you yeah he's oh yeah okay andrew cuomo is awful dot com is a very important theory that everyone
01:46:17.780 should know because i know at one time you liked him a lot oh right wasn't there a time when you
01:46:22.480 were yes huge fan that's changed a little bit a little bit in fact uh never liked him and i don't
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
02:02:19.540 so
02:02:25.980 you
02:02:28.220 so
