The Glenn Beck Program - Our Climate Isn’t Melting Down, but Al Gore Is ｜ 1⧸19⧸23

00:00:00.000 I want to tell you about American Giant.

00:00:01.760 They would like to thank you for doing business with them.

00:00:04.760 They started advertising with us, I guess it was back in October, maybe, of last year.

00:00:11.000 We met with the founder of the company.

00:00:12.500 He was on the show with us.

00:00:13.600 He's a great guy.

00:00:15.020 And, you know, we told him about you, about how you believe in American workers

00:00:19.200 and how you believe in American manufacturing

00:00:21.900 and how the world doesn't seem to do that anymore.

00:00:24.940 Well, American Giant does.

00:00:26.420 That's what they're all about.

00:00:27.240 And they began in 2012 with a clothing factory in Middlesex, North Carolina.

00:00:31.940 It was about to be shut down.

00:00:33.680 And they just, they said, you know what?

00:00:35.240 We're not going to let that happen.

00:00:36.200 They started their own company.

00:00:37.240 They worked with the factory to invest in new machinery and skill development.

00:00:40.600 And then years later, here we are.

00:00:42.300 They make the best hoodie you'll ever wear.

00:00:44.080 I've got one of them.

00:00:45.120 It's the best hoodie I own.

00:00:47.340 And, you know, look, it's cotton that's grown in America, milled in America,

00:00:50.980 cut and sewn right here in America.

00:00:53.360 American Giant, thank you from all of us here to help,

00:00:56.940 you know, and you're helping them grow.

00:00:59.000 And thanks to American Giant for actually caring about this country.

00:01:02.160 It's americangiant.com slash Glenn.

00:01:04.180 You're going to love this stuff.

00:01:05.000 It's really high quality and you're going to love it.

00:01:07.440 It's americangiant.com slash Glenn.

00:01:10.340 americangiant.com slash Glenn.

00:01:12.220 got no room to compromise.

00:01:40.280 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:05.020 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:08.760 featuring Pat and Stu today.

00:02:15.240 And please keep Glenn in your prayers.

00:02:20.700 He's dealing with some family issues right now that are really difficult and draining on him.

00:02:25.220 And he and Tonya could really use your prayers as well as the kids, the whole family.

00:02:30.440 Appreciate that.

00:02:31.100 We have a jam-packed show again today and Al Gore is back at this time.

00:02:40.020 Well, he's always pissed, but he's extremely upset right now about, well, the climate, the climate.

00:02:48.140 And he sounds off on it.

00:02:49.720 We'll get into that in much, much more in about 60 seconds.

00:02:55.900 Now, it would be wonderful if everything that said made in America genuinely was made in America.

00:03:01.860 But a lot of the time, of course, that isn't true.

00:03:04.420 Isn't true.

00:03:04.860 It's like, you know, a typical Joe Biden story.

00:03:06.740 He'll say something and then you find out like years later that it was never true the entire time.

00:03:11.480 But that's basically how this usually works.

00:03:14.220 You've got to check the source.

00:03:15.280 And if buying meat that's sourced from local farms right here in America is something that matters to you,

00:03:19.660 then you really, really need to try out Good Ranchers.

00:03:21.860 It's not only their own meat, of course, grown here in the U.S., but it's amazing quality.

00:03:26.760 You can get over two pounds of chicken free in every box for a year when you subscribe.

00:03:31.200 You get a year's worth of chicken for free when you subscribe at any Good Ranchers box, of course, at GoodRanchers.com.

00:03:38.660 If you want to start the year off right, change the way you buy meat by switching to Good Ranchers.

00:03:42.980 Make sure to subscribe today.

00:03:44.060 Use the code GLEN to claim your free chicken for a year and 20 bucks off your first box.

00:03:49.640 New year, new you.

00:03:50.880 Or, you know, why not?

00:03:52.560 This is the way to do it.

00:03:54.100 It's American meat delivered with Good Ranchers.

00:03:58.980 How much have you missed, Al Gore?

00:04:03.320 I mean, he hasn't been around, it seems like, in a while.

00:04:05.660 There is one and only one reason that I miss Al Gore, which is your impersonation of Al Gore.

00:04:11.960 Oh.

00:04:12.400 Because without Al Gore being in the news, we don't get to hear it.

00:04:16.820 There's no reason for you to do it.

00:04:18.160 Yeah.

00:04:18.400 He's almost like, you know, most of your other impersonations are people who are already dead.

00:04:23.700 You know, most of the people you impersonate passed away a decade ago.

00:04:27.660 They're no longer with us.

00:04:28.520 Right.

00:04:28.920 We lost them.

00:04:29.460 We lost them.

00:04:30.520 No new impersonations necessarily added to the repertoire for a while.

00:04:35.900 It's been a while.

00:04:36.840 And this is why I always, if Al Gore needs a medical fund to, and if he ever gets sick,

00:04:44.540 I will be there to help him because I want to make sure at least one person.

00:04:47.340 We have a living person that I can impersonate here.

00:04:51.000 So, yeah, you want to keep that going.

00:04:52.580 Yes.

00:04:53.100 Definitely want to keep it going.

00:04:54.240 I'm excited about it.

00:04:54.960 This is him on Climate Activists Cut 8.

00:05:00.740 He's very impassioned.

00:05:02.680 There's another divide, increasingly, between those who are old enough to be in positions of power

00:05:08.540 and the young people of this world.

00:05:11.620 Greta Thunberg was just arrested in Germany.

00:05:14.260 I agree with her efforts to stop that coal mine in Germany. 0.98

00:05:19.820 Young people around the world are looking at what we're doing.

00:05:23.500 They look at the World Bank and they say, oh, you've got a climate denier in charge of the World Bank.

00:05:27.940 So why are you surprised that the World Bank is completely failing to do its job?

00:05:33.620 What do I say to these young activists that I train around the world when they come to me and they say,

00:05:38.460 are you okay with putting the CEO of one of the largest oil companies in the world in as the president of the COP?

00:05:48.000 There's a lot of blah, blah, blah, as Greta says.

00:05:51.340 There are a lot of words and there are some meaningful commitments, but we are still failing badly.

00:05:58.060 Wow.

00:05:58.620 We haven't heard the gravelly algorithms in years.

00:06:02.360 Right, for a while.

00:06:03.000 Yeah.

00:06:03.520 Since probably, he betrayed this country.

00:06:07.300 He played on our fears.

00:06:10.900 That's right.

00:06:11.760 I forgot about that.

00:06:12.680 I love that one.

00:06:14.020 I forgot he had that.

00:06:15.200 It's been a while since we've seen that.

00:06:16.780 So he's been jumping on the Greta bandwagon now?

00:06:20.200 Yeah.

00:06:20.340 Like, isn't this over, I thought?

00:06:21.880 Well, because you saw her carefully orchestrated arrest, didn't you?

00:06:25.940 That was incredible.

00:06:27.140 There's a, I think there's a new angle on it.

00:06:30.560 Yeah.

00:06:31.680 Cut six.

00:06:32.820 Here's Greta being arrested. 1.00

00:06:34.280 Yesterday, we showed a clip of one of the angles.

00:06:38.400 Well, they did a second take on it.

00:06:40.500 Oh, good.

00:06:40.980 Good, good.

00:06:41.400 That's how all arrests happen.

00:06:42.820 Yes.

00:06:43.120 Yes.

00:06:44.980 Standing there, cops, you know.

00:06:48.080 So they're all just milling around.

00:06:49.660 She's laughing.

00:06:50.280 She's having fun.

00:06:51.680 Because this is all orchestrated.

00:06:55.540 This is all planned.

00:06:58.100 They're literally posing for photos with Greta.

00:07:00.820 Yeah.

00:07:01.180 The police.

00:07:02.020 Yes.

00:07:02.320 We think.

00:07:03.180 I mean, again, I would not be surprised if they're not police.

00:07:05.860 Right, yeah.

00:07:06.460 Yeah.

00:07:07.120 It's possible.

00:07:07.740 Although I did hear that she was briefly detained for this incident and was she standing in the middle of the field.

00:07:12.240 Well, that's where she was detained was right there. 0.52

00:07:15.020 And then they walked through the mud.

00:07:16.120 And then eventually they just let her go.

00:07:19.800 And she walks off. 0.70

00:07:21.460 And I don't think she even was taken anywhere by police.

00:07:25.480 I mean, it was such a hoax.

00:07:27.560 And then Al Gore trying to say she was arrested because of her actions.

00:07:32.980 Get out of here.

00:07:33.620 Oh, stop it.

00:07:34.800 It was all planned.

00:07:36.220 It was all choreographed.

00:07:37.880 It was a pathetic display of an arrest.

00:07:43.020 But Al was pretty angry.

00:07:45.940 He's mad at climate deniers.

00:07:48.280 This is cut nine.

00:07:50.040 Enough already.

00:07:51.260 Enough.

00:07:52.460 And I don't want to get sidetracked onto what needs to happen.

00:07:56.560 But we need to scale up climate finance.

00:07:59.680 But we need desperately to scale down anti-climate finance.

00:08:03.240 Thank you.

00:08:03.800 And we are still subsidizing the burning of fossil fuels globally at a rate 42 times larger than the subsidies for the shift toward renewables and EVs, etc.

00:08:17.000 We need new leadership at the World Bank.

00:08:19.380 We need them to scale up the leverage and vastly increase the amounts that are committed.

00:08:25.680 And we need to rein in the anti-climate activities of the fossil industry.

00:08:30.440 I love this.

00:08:31.160 Even the psychopaths of the world economic form are sick of him.

00:08:33.800 They need new leadership, though, at the World Bank.

00:08:38.120 Because I guess the World Bank isn't doing enough for climate change.

00:08:41.700 Is that what he seems to be saying to you?

00:08:43.680 Because that's what it sounds like to me.

00:08:45.220 And that's an odd stance.

00:08:46.020 What is the World Bank to do about climate change?

00:08:50.280 Bizarre.

00:08:50.760 And could we possibly be spending more money on climate research and finance?

00:08:56.520 And I mean, these companies get I mean, we were just throwing trillion.

00:09:01.460 We just passed a giant bill where there's trillions of dollars going to these companies.

00:09:06.140 We're constantly doing this and no money going to actually look for energy sources that work and are inexpensive and reliable.

00:09:15.020 None of that happens at all.

00:09:17.100 I mean, this is such a bizarre stance.

00:09:18.840 And you look, you know, Al Gore at this point in his life, I think, is looking for relevance more than anything else.

00:09:23.120 You know, the screamy voice usually only comes out when that's what he's doing.

00:09:26.480 Mm-hmm.

00:09:27.240 But the idea that they're not getting enough money for this crap, what are you talking about?

00:09:30.720 I mean, think about Solyndra.

00:09:32.420 We're just throwing.

00:09:32.920 They're like, oh, we've got circular solar panels.

00:09:35.600 Oh, here's $20 billion.

00:09:36.880 How much do you need?

00:09:38.120 A circular solar panel.

00:09:39.220 Here they are.

00:09:40.360 Here you go.

00:09:40.920 Let me just throw a bunch of money at you. 1.00

00:09:42.280 Oh, you're out of business?

00:09:43.080 Oh, that sucks.

00:09:44.360 Oh, well.

00:09:45.000 Every electric car purchased in this country, they receive $7,500 off.

00:09:52.580 And again, there's been some restrictions on certain models over the years.

00:09:55.400 But generally speaking, this has been true.

00:09:56.840 And the average person who buys one of these cars is a six-figure earner.

00:10:01.760 Why on earth would we subsidize people who make six figures to buy fancy cars?

00:10:07.540 It makes no sense.

00:10:08.760 Nobody ever talks about that either.

00:10:11.300 And of course, nobody ever talks about what goes into the production of the electric vehicle,

00:10:16.080 which is so not friendly to the earth.

00:10:19.140 It's way worse than the combustion engine vehicles that are produced.

00:10:24.220 And it's going to take decades and decades to catch up to all the problems with the electric cars

00:10:35.640 to offset those with any kind of environmental relief that they're looking for.

00:10:42.320 It's just impractical.

00:10:44.680 There's nowhere to put...

00:10:45.460 What are you going to do with all these batteries at the end of the vehicle's life?

00:10:49.180 Oh, gosh.

00:10:49.600 Where are we going to pile those up?

00:10:51.520 So many problems here.

00:10:53.100 And of course, a lot of the research shows too that, yes, during production,

00:10:57.700 electric cars are much, much worse than internal combustion engines.

00:11:01.200 Yep.

00:11:01.600 And the number of miles you need to drive for this to equal out when it comes to environmental effect

00:11:06.960 is, again, in the six figures.

00:11:08.420 You've got to go over 100,000 miles in an electric car before it even comes close to paying itself off.

00:11:13.580 So, again, and I have nothing against electric cars.

00:11:18.340 I don't either.

00:11:19.100 We've talked about this so many times.

00:11:20.500 Yeah, we have.

00:11:20.900 The Tesla, some of these Teslas are great.

00:11:22.480 I mean, obviously, Elon Musk is not an enemy of the right.

00:11:25.660 I cheer for him to do well in his business.

00:11:28.000 They look great.

00:11:28.520 They drive great.

00:11:29.740 They've got incredible acceleration.

00:11:31.540 Yeah, the new Corvette, Corvette E-Ray, is out now or has just been introduced.

00:11:37.460 I just talked about this for tomorrow's Studios America.

00:11:40.720 We're going to do a segment on it.

00:11:41.920 And it is 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

00:11:46.040 It is 2.5?

00:11:47.060 2.5 seconds.

00:11:48.420 Wow.

00:11:48.600 And it is basically, in a way, a hybrid.

00:11:52.640 They put an electric motor on the front wheels, and they're using the same 600-plus horsepower on the back wheels.

00:12:00.020 And it's all-wheel drive, the first Corvette ever.

00:12:03.420 And, you know, look, to me, I like the internal combustion engine.

00:12:07.660 I like the sound it makes.

00:12:08.880 You know, I don't know.

00:12:09.640 That's just my thing.

00:12:10.500 I like the electric cars.

00:12:13.140 They're cool, but they're not my daily driver.

00:12:15.760 That's not what I want as a daily driver.

00:12:17.540 But this thing, again, is like using that technology and making a ridiculously fast car.

00:12:22.660 But, again, it's a $100,000 car.

00:12:25.080 Yeah.

00:12:25.440 You know, and it's certainly not environmentally friendly.

00:12:27.520 It's still a Corvette.

00:12:29.600 It's not getting you good gas mileage.

00:12:32.900 Right.

00:12:33.860 So, you know, this-

00:12:35.300 And you still have to plug it into the wall outlet of your house every night.

00:12:38.500 This one is more of a hybrid design.

00:12:40.860 Oh, you don't-

00:12:41.320 It's not like that.

00:12:42.260 Okay.

00:12:42.400 But still, you know-

00:12:43.660 But the full electric, like the Teslas and stuff, you have to plug in.

00:12:47.400 And that's costing us energy.

00:12:49.060 Yeah.

00:12:49.260 And it's also thousands of dollars, potentially, in retrofitting your house for the right type

00:12:54.520 of plug to-

00:12:56.200 I mean, if you drive it enough, you got to have the faster charger.

00:13:00.300 Yeah.

00:13:00.520 You know, I have a friend who has a Tesla, and he doesn't drive it a lot, so he's able

00:13:04.900 to plug it in the normal plug, and it's fine.

00:13:07.180 But if you drive it as your normal, everyday car, you have to, you know, look into between

00:13:13.580 $600 and $2,000 of retrofitting your house to get the right, you know, the electrical

00:13:18.580 outlets to make this thing charge.

00:13:20.900 Either that, or you're going to be waiting days.

00:13:22.700 I mean, there's the Porsche electric, if you plug it into the normal plug, this is the

00:13:27.600 Porsche Taycan, which is a beautiful car.

00:13:30.100 I mean, it's a great-looking car.

00:13:32.160 But if you plug it into a normal outlet, and it's very low in battery, it could take about

00:13:37.040 three days to charge.

00:13:39.380 Oh, that's not bad.

00:13:40.220 Three days.

00:13:40.820 Just the three days, though.

00:13:41.660 Okay.

00:13:42.160 So, just so you don't have anywhere to go in three days, you're fine.

00:13:45.000 You just stay home for three days.

00:13:46.060 Yeah.

00:13:46.380 Again, this is why we all work from home now, just do Zoom calls.

00:13:51.120 They're just not practical.

00:13:52.500 That's why I don't have one, because it's just not- I really- when we test drove that Tesla

00:13:57.620 that they brought here several years ago.

00:14:01.380 And we experienced that.

00:14:03.360 I really wanted one.

00:14:05.420 It's cool.

00:14:06.600 I really did.

00:14:07.740 Really fast.

00:14:08.800 But it's just not practical, because especially then, there was nowhere to- I mean, there's

00:14:14.720 very few places that I knew of, at least, to go charge it.

00:14:18.780 And when you did go charge it, like if you have one, and we do have some movie theaters

00:14:24.240 where you can park your car at one of the charging stations, and then you're at the movie

00:14:30.820 for two hours or whatever, and then you come out, and it's mostly charged.

00:14:36.020 Yeah.

00:14:36.380 And look, that's cool.

00:14:37.660 That's great.

00:14:38.260 I like movies, but I just can't stop to see one every day.

00:14:41.100 Exactly.

00:14:41.460 I can't just stop by.

00:14:43.640 Now, if I drive from here to Houston, I'm going to have to, first of all, find the specialty

00:14:49.220 places where they have these charging stations, and then sit there for, I don't know, an hour?

00:14:55.260 Yeah.

00:14:55.500 45 minutes, at least?

00:14:56.860 Yeah.

00:14:57.060 And some of the fast chargers now will do a better job.

00:14:59.660 I mean, look, it is improving.

00:15:01.120 But I do find it-

00:15:02.000 Slowly.

00:15:02.420 Fascinating that the left has now come to a position where- and I don't know if you've noticed

00:15:06.300 this at places like the movie theater, where they do give you these nice parking

00:15:10.280 spots with the charging thing.

00:15:11.760 And I think they're closer than the handicapped spots.

00:15:14.100 I think they'd rather have people who can't walk. 1.00

00:15:17.740 They're actually preferring and spoiling the people in their electric cars-

00:15:22.920 Yeah, they are.

00:15:23.520 Over the people who don't have legs. 0.99

00:15:25.700 We're at that point now in our society.

00:15:29.080 Oh, yeah.

00:15:29.520 You know, yeah.

00:15:30.100 Look, sure.

00:15:32.040 You don't-

00:15:32.660 You're in a wheelchair. 0.99

00:15:34.100 It's very difficult.

00:15:34.920 But I will say, you're killing the climate in your minivan there, so screw you.

00:15:40.140 That's where we are.

00:15:40.880 So, the Tesla park's closer than you.

00:15:42.960 That's great.

00:15:43.780 The rich person in the Tesla, who spent $130,000 on their plaid, they're going to walk very comfortably

00:15:51.240 three steps to get into the movie theater.

00:15:53.040 You, on the other hand, we're putting you at the bottom of the hill.

00:15:55.860 And see, I hope your arms are strong to get up it, because that's, sorry, the other side

00:16:01.500 of the lot.

00:16:02.200 We put you on the other side of gravel.

00:16:03.580 There's some boulders in the way, but you'll get there eventually.

00:16:06.800 We have faith in you.

00:16:07.800 You're handicapable. 1.00

00:16:09.440 You know, maybe you brought some people that could carry you over all that.

00:16:12.200 All the obstacles.

00:16:13.040 They'll just lift up you in the wheelchair and carry you into the building.

00:16:16.800 Exactly.

00:16:17.280 That'd be perfect.

00:16:18.460 888-727-BECK.

00:16:19.960 More coming up in a minute.

00:16:22.040 All right.

00:16:22.580 Victoria wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:16:24.920 She says, thank you, Relief Factor.

00:16:26.500 My chronic back pain has completely disappeared.

00:16:29.020 I highly recommend this product to anyone who has inflammation and pain.

00:16:32.740 It only took a couple of weeks, and it's working magic on me.

00:16:36.040 Victoria, thank you so much for writing in and for being willing to give Relief Factor

00:16:39.700 a try.

00:16:40.580 If you're dealing with pain, give Relief Factor a try as well.

00:16:44.100 It's not a drug.

00:16:44.780 It was developed by doctors, and it's four key ingredients work with your body to fight

00:16:49.580 inflammation, which causes most of our pain.

00:16:52.260 Give it a shot.

00:16:52.980 What do you got to lose?

00:16:53.640 Three-week quick start is only $19.95.

00:16:55.720 It's a trial pack.

00:16:56.780 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on

00:17:00.920 to order more.

00:17:02.100 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF to get the 1995 three-week quick start.

00:17:08.040 Again, it's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four, Relief, Relief Factor.

00:17:14.180 Feel the difference.

00:17:15.380 10 seconds, station ID.

00:17:26.980 All right, we got one more fun Al Gore clip, because it's been so long since we've heard

00:17:31.920 from him that I wanted you to experience the full frontal effect of Al Gore, because it's

00:17:39.180 great.

00:17:39.460 You should never go full Al Gore.

00:17:41.600 Never?

00:17:41.980 Never.

00:17:42.460 Really?

00:17:42.820 Never go for it.

00:17:43.920 You don't want that.

00:17:45.240 Cut 10.

00:17:46.040 Here he is.

00:17:46.460 We're going to bring these emissions down.

00:17:48.860 And just to put the science in a slightly different context, people are familiar with that thin

00:17:56.200 blue line that the astronauts bring back in their pictures from space.

00:18:01.140 Yeah, get this.

00:18:01.800 That's the part of the atmosphere that has oxygen, the troposphere.

00:18:07.700 And it's only five to seven kilometers thick.

00:18:10.640 What?

00:18:11.320 That's what we're using as an open sewer. 0.99

00:18:14.520 If you could drive a car straight up in the air at interstate highway speeds, you'd get

00:18:18.140 to the top of that blue line in five minutes.

00:18:20.960 And all the greenhouse gas pollution would be below you.

00:18:23.660 We're still putting 162 million tons into it every single day.

00:18:27.620 And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000

00:18:34.360 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. 0.84

00:18:38.380 That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs.

00:18:43.360 And sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice

00:18:47.760 and raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach 1.00

00:18:52.700 one billion in this century.

00:18:54.580 One billion.

00:18:55.420 Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million

00:19:00.460 refugees.

00:19:01.400 What about a billion?

00:19:02.480 We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.

00:19:05.980 It's happening with him.

00:19:06.600 We have to act.

00:19:08.600 So in answer to your question, I would say we have to have a sense of urgency much greater

00:19:13.780 than we have yet had.

00:19:15.440 Much greater.

00:19:15.740 And we need to make some changes.

00:19:19.540 What is he so irritated about?

00:19:21.240 Is he a Chargers fan or something?

00:19:22.940 Why is he so upset?

00:19:25.000 Because we are not doing what we need to do still.

00:19:29.100 Well, that's why.

00:19:34.880 There's so much there.

00:19:36.320 I mean, where do you even begin?

00:19:37.580 I don't know.

00:19:38.580 First of all, I'm all in on the rain bombs.

00:19:40.840 We need to talk more about rain bombs.

00:19:42.720 That's a new thing that they've done for, I don't know, a rainstorm?

00:19:47.500 It's like a rainstorm.

00:19:49.020 And I want to make sure I'm understanding.

00:19:50.420 It's raining.

00:19:51.020 It's raining hard, probably.

00:19:52.280 Yeah, it rained hard.

00:19:53.160 It rained pretty hard.

00:19:53.960 And it's never, you know this, it's never rained hard before.

00:19:56.160 It's never rained hard before.

00:19:57.260 But now it rains hard.

00:19:58.920 The other thing is, how many nuclear bombs had to go off?

00:20:03.260 160,000 every day.

00:20:06.740 Every day.

00:20:07.480 All that makes me think is that, wow, nuclear bombs are not that effective.

00:20:10.720 That's what it makes me think of.

00:20:12.020 Well, certainly not the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.

00:20:14.420 Right, that's like nothing.

00:20:15.340 They were nothing.

00:20:16.460 They were nothing.

00:20:17.300 Apparently, because right now we're, you know, look, we have tons of problems.

00:20:21.860 But certainly when it comes to technology and, you know, life expectancy and everything

00:20:28.140 else, with the exception of a little pandemic we had recently, things are pretty good when

00:20:33.020 it comes to human history.

00:20:34.560 We're living longer.

00:20:36.560 We've pulled a billion people out of poverty.

00:20:39.640 They're no longer starving.

00:20:41.360 Where does this, like, this vision of this hellscape that we supposedly live in that environmentalists

00:20:47.920 believe is constantly active, where is this place?

00:20:50.460 It comes from the climate.

00:20:51.860 I don't know.

00:20:53.260 I don't know.

00:20:53.760 But they invent all these new terms like rain bombs and polar vortex, or is it vor-to-thief?

00:21:03.540 And then what was the other thing that they've, I don't know, they changed all of the definitions

00:21:08.620 of normal weather events that we've had forever.

00:21:12.200 You know, a polar vortex, what is that?

00:21:14.720 Well, it's a cold front.

00:21:16.280 That's what that is.

00:21:17.200 It's a cold front that came from the Arctic.

00:21:19.320 We used to have Arctic cold fronts in Montana all the time.

00:21:24.080 Several times a winter, there would be a Canadian cold front.

00:21:27.480 Did they have rain bombs in them?

00:21:29.860 No.

00:21:30.200 No rain bombs.

00:21:30.760 No, they did not.

00:21:31.320 They did not.

00:21:31.860 No.

00:21:32.080 They had snow.

00:21:33.080 Rain didn't come with the Arctic vortex.

00:21:34.240 So a snow bomb.

00:21:35.420 Snow bomb.

00:21:35.920 So snow bombs are turning to rain bombs consistent with global warming.

00:21:40.340 You know, I think one of the things that's really perplexing me about these Gore clubs, there's something so off about them.

00:21:46.740 Is there someone disagreeing with him on these points on this panel?

00:21:50.520 It's the world economic forum.

00:21:52.000 So he's at the W-E-F.

00:21:53.200 Yeah.

00:21:53.400 I really doubt it.

00:21:54.580 There's all cheering him on, right?

00:21:55.940 Why is he screaming at everyone?

00:21:58.100 I don't know.

00:21:58.860 They're just to nod their head and agree with you, right?

00:22:02.120 That's the whole point of this panel.

00:22:03.600 Yes.

00:22:04.100 And he's screaming at everybody.

00:22:06.780 He's trying to, it's almost like he's trying to pull a Greta, right?

00:22:09.480 Yeah.

00:22:09.880 How dare you?

00:22:11.000 That whole like upset Greta thing that she does when she's so fired up. 1.00

00:22:15.880 It doesn't work as well with a 75-year-old guy.

00:22:18.100 Also, it also doesn't work well for Greta, but that's a whole different situation. 0.98

00:22:23.780 It's an interesting time, Pat.

00:22:25.300 It is.

00:22:26.060 Interesting time.

00:22:26.540 It is.

00:22:27.860 And yeah, he is quite animated.

00:22:30.200 He's quite bothered by what's going on.

00:22:32.600 But he wants, you know, he wants to be funded to the tune of $100 trillion, like AOC kind of proposed.

00:22:40.040 Just $100 trillion, though?

00:22:40.920 Just $100 trillion.

00:22:41.780 $100 trillion.

00:22:43.620 $100 trillion is a small price to pay to get him to shut up.

00:22:45.940 Can we just give him the money?

00:22:48.100 More coming up in just a second.

00:22:50.860 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:51.940 One of the hardest lessons in life is that stability is a luxury in this world.

00:22:57.760 Sometimes it's not always there for the enjoying.

00:23:00.640 And right now, the wheels are kind of falling off around us in some areas.

00:23:04.740 I mean, we've all felt it.

00:23:06.520 And so you should act now and invest in preparing.

00:23:09.600 Emergency food is something that you need.

00:23:11.620 And you never know what's going to come in handy or when it will be too late.

00:23:14.720 It's money well spent.

00:23:16.220 Plus, you can stretch your dollars when you go with preparewithglenn.com.

00:23:20.380 You'll save $200 on a three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply.

00:23:25.100 They're the nation's largest preparedness company.

00:23:27.640 And, you know, we've been dealing with My Patriot Supply for a long time.

00:23:31.700 I have this at my house.

00:23:32.880 And it's a fantastic company.

00:23:34.600 They do a great job.

00:23:35.600 They make all of this really easy.

00:23:37.280 I'm kind of a schlub when it comes to this stuff.

00:23:38.980 Like, I don't want to actually think about being prepared for things.

00:23:41.840 My Patriot Supply just makes it easy.

00:23:43.140 You just order from them, and everything's taken care of.

00:23:45.520 There's not much time to take care of a great value they've got going on.

00:23:48.660 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:24:29.880 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:24:31.220 Al Gore has really reinvigorated my concern about the climate.

00:24:42.040 Really?

00:24:42.460 Yeah.

00:24:42.960 This worked.

00:24:43.380 I do not want to be a denier.

00:24:45.680 For the people who deny that we have climate, I think they're wrong.

00:24:51.020 And frankly, I just don't agree with them, and I never have.

00:24:53.860 We do have a climate on this planet.

00:24:56.400 I think they're confusing us with Mars, which does not have a climate, but we do, and I

00:25:03.960 would never deny it.

00:25:04.960 And it's clear, the differences.

00:25:06.480 Yes, they're both round, but one is like reddish. 0.65

00:25:10.340 That's what they tell us anyway.

00:25:11.880 Yeah.

00:25:12.720 But have you ever witnessed it from space with your own two eyes?

00:25:15.580 I haven't.

00:25:16.280 No.

00:25:16.460 I haven't.

00:25:17.380 You've seen these fake photographs about a round planet.

00:25:21.020 Yeah.

00:25:21.320 I learned this all from Kyrie Irving, and it was quite convincing.

00:25:25.320 It is incredible how, you know, I think you guys played it too.

00:25:29.200 The Chelsea Handler.

00:25:30.840 I mean, that goes beyond the flat earth thing.

00:25:33.380 A person who thought the sun and the moon were the same thing?

00:25:37.860 Oh, such a good clip.

00:25:39.140 Oh! 0.60

00:25:39.640 Such a good clip.

00:25:40.420 I love it.

00:25:40.880 Because it just shows that these people in Hollywood who give us all this advice and

00:25:48.020 tell us about the climate and tell us about every other piece of science we're supposed

00:25:53.660 to believe, most of them are idiots.

00:25:56.740 Oh, complete.

00:25:57.400 You need to remember that.

00:25:58.560 Complete.

00:25:58.920 I mean, listen to this.

00:25:59.660 I didn't know, and this is true, I didn't know until I was 40 years old that the sun and

00:26:05.180 the moon were not the same thing.

00:26:06.800 Uh, okay.

00:26:09.840 And she goes on to explain that.

00:26:11.360 Yes, she did.

00:26:11.940 Yeah, that, you know, she thought when the sun went down, the moon popped back up.

00:26:19.380 And they were the same thing.

00:26:20.820 Why would you call it something different then?

00:26:23.080 Why would you, why wouldn't it just be the sun?

00:26:25.400 Or why would it, wouldn't it just be the moon?

00:26:28.620 Why would you call it a different thing when it's in the day and it, or at night?

00:26:33.460 And these are the type of questions that at 40, you'd think you would have asked yourself

00:26:37.160 by now, right?

00:26:38.140 Like at four, maybe not, right?

00:26:40.520 At four, you, maybe you believe that the sun, though I do believe.

00:26:44.200 I've never heard of it before.

00:26:45.260 I've never heard of anybody who thought the sun and the moon were the same.

00:26:48.740 Have you before?

00:26:49.580 No, uh, never.

00:26:50.660 And even a child, you know, reads like good night moon, right?

00:26:54.820 Right.

00:26:55.480 And they know they're not referring to the sun.

00:26:58.300 Right.

00:26:58.660 Like I really do feel like at four years old, most people know they're not the same thing.

00:27:04.100 They might not understand all of the physics at that point, Pat.

00:27:07.260 You know, they might not know the exact distance that each is away from, from the earth, but

00:27:12.240 I think they're relatively.

00:27:13.880 One of them looks considerably closer to the earth than the other.

00:27:17.480 Yeah.

00:27:18.300 Plus at night you can stare directly into it.

00:27:21.340 Whereas in the day it might be harmful.

00:27:24.940 So.

00:27:25.640 But maybe there's, is there a switch?

00:27:27.140 Do we know?

00:27:27.880 I mean, like, is it possible?

00:27:28.580 Like a dimmer switch.

00:27:29.700 There's a dimmer switch that kind of just goes off.

00:27:31.860 It's possible.

00:27:32.520 And it just dims, you know, dims the sun until it turns to the moon.

00:27:36.300 Like if you have a bright light in your, in your, uh, your dining room and you look at

00:27:41.220 it, ah, gosh, that hurts my eyes.

00:27:42.740 Turn the dimmer down to the lowest setting.

00:27:44.580 Yeah.

00:27:44.800 All of a sudden you can stare right at it.

00:27:46.080 Yes.

00:27:46.560 I mean, I just, maybe she's not wrong here.

00:27:49.640 You know, maybe, maybe cause she, she goes on to talk about how she was on an, uh, she

00:27:53.200 was riding an elephant when all of this happened.

00:27:54.860 And, uh, maybe the, maybe the person who was driving the element, elephant around, which

00:28:00.600 by the way, those are motorized creatures, not, not, not animals.

00:28:03.040 We know that now, uh, just science, but, uh, maybe that person didn't know.

00:28:06.980 Yeah.

00:28:07.340 I think we was wrong.

00:28:08.220 We have that full clip just to remind you how brilliant, uh, Chelsea Handler is. 0.98

00:28:11.820 I didn't know, and this is true, I didn't know until I was 40 years old that the sun

00:28:17.460 and the moon were not the same thing.

00:28:20.980 I find this hard to believe, but what are you talking about?

00:28:23.920 It was, I was shocking to me as well.

00:28:26.320 I mean.

00:28:27.020 Well, of course, it must have been more shocking to you.

00:28:28.880 I was like, I was in Africa.

00:28:30.860 We were on safari.

00:28:31.960 My sister and I were riding an elephant and there was a man riding an elephant for us

00:28:36.400 because we don't know how to ride an elephant.

00:28:38.220 Yeah.

00:28:38.400 And my older sister, Simone, looked up at the, at the, at the sky and she said,

00:28:42.260 Chelsea, Chelsea, look up.

00:28:43.760 It's not often you get to see the sun and the moon at the same time.

00:28:48.780 Yeah.

00:28:52.100 And I was like, I was like Scooby-Doo.

00:28:54.560 I'm like.

00:28:55.820 I said it.

00:28:56.960 I go, wait, I go, but they're always together.

00:28:59.080 And as soon as I said that, she turned around. 0.89

00:29:01.020 She goes, what did you say?

00:29:01.760 And I was like, oh, shut up, shut up, shut up.

00:29:04.220 I was like, I'm like, I knew what I said was wrong.

00:29:06.420 Giddy up, Elvis.

00:29:07.100 I was like, let's canter.

00:29:09.440 Is that what an elephant does?

00:29:10.540 Oh my God.

00:29:11.260 And, um, I, and, and, and she looked at me and she goes, I need you.

00:29:14.440 And I just tried to gloss over it.

00:29:15.860 I was like, nevermind what I said.

00:29:17.300 I know.

00:29:18.200 And she said, no, I need you to tell me what you think is happening between the sun and the moon.

00:29:24.640 And I was like, honestly, I just assumed when the sun went down, it popped back up as the moon, you know?

00:29:33.400 The little costume change.

00:29:34.500 Like, is that not what's happening?

00:29:37.640 The man riding the elephant spoke no English and went, oh.

00:29:41.920 And he's just like another dumb American, you know? 1.00

00:29:44.600 That's embarrassing.

00:29:47.880 That's, A, why do you tell that story when it really explains how stupid you are?

00:29:56.980 I mean, obviously at some level she, she knows it's going to be funny on the show.

00:30:00.620 She's a comedian. 1.00

00:30:01.380 She's telling, I think, a true story.

00:30:03.340 But like, she's going for laughs and getting them, right?

00:30:05.780 Yeah.

00:30:05.940 Because, I mean, it doesn't make any sense that you would tell it on national television.

00:30:09.260 Part of the story is that you were embarrassed to tell your sister.

00:30:13.000 Yeah.

00:30:13.300 Right?

00:30:13.580 And now you're telling the world.

00:30:14.840 The world, right?

00:30:15.360 So now everyone knows you're an idiot.

00:30:17.340 So that's part of it.

00:30:18.360 But I think it's interesting to note that this is a person, you might say, okay, Chelsea Handler.

00:30:22.960 You know, who is she? 1.00

00:30:24.280 Well, you know, this is a person who, by the way, has been lecturing us about politics for years and years and years and years and years.

00:30:28.880 Right.

00:30:29.040 And telling us how stupid we are as conservatives.

00:30:30.880 But also a person who's successful enough to go on an African safari and ride elephants around, right?

00:30:37.000 Like, this is a person who's made it in life to some level.

00:30:40.360 Yeah.

00:30:40.740 I mean, have you ever been on an African safari, Pat?

00:30:43.040 I have not.

00:30:43.240 I never have.

00:30:43.800 Now, I have also no desire to go on an African safari because it's so outdoorsy.

00:30:47.900 Like, I'm really more of an indoorsy guy.

00:30:50.040 But still, like, there's some level of success associated with going on a trip like this.

00:30:55.320 And, you know, she's done a lot of this stuff.

00:30:57.780 Well, yeah.

00:30:58.200 She's shot shows all around the world.

00:31:00.440 Like, she and here's and she's obviously who makes seven figures a year, seven figures a year. 0.94

00:31:05.780 And obviously, we've just given you complete and total evidence that she's a moron.

00:31:12.840 Like, yeah, she's obviously a complete idiot. 1.00

00:31:16.940 Right.

00:31:17.880 And yet she's.

00:31:19.400 God bless America.

00:31:21.020 I'll say.

00:31:21.440 Yeah.

00:31:21.720 I mean, that's absolutely America.

00:31:25.280 Unbelievable.

00:31:26.300 It's absolutely amazing.

00:31:27.720 Go back to the 13th century.

00:31:29.820 This is the type of person who, you know, probably starves on the side of the road because she's so stupid and no one wants to help her. 0.89

00:31:37.940 And there's no.

00:31:38.780 Instead, she's a millionaire. 1.00

00:31:39.980 Right.

00:31:40.140 Instead, she's a millionaire. 1.00

00:31:41.080 She's going on safaris to Africa and riding elephants around and looking for the moon and the sun.

00:31:45.960 Like, this is a miracle of modern society that she is able to maintain life. 0.92

00:31:52.240 Plus, she said it happened.

00:31:54.100 She had this amazing realization when she was 40.

00:31:58.420 That was seven years ago.

00:32:01.140 She's 47 now.

00:32:02.760 So this just barely happened.

00:32:05.300 Yeah.

00:32:05.560 It's like a new story.

00:32:06.620 It's not even a decade old.

00:32:08.140 Her realization that the sun and the moon are different things.

00:32:11.180 I mean.

00:32:11.600 That's fantastic.

00:32:12.400 It does make you feel good in that, though.

00:32:14.280 It shows you the intellectual capacity of these lefties.

00:32:20.540 It shows why they are so such big proponents of big government and abortion and unlimited border crossings.

00:32:34.960 It shows.

00:32:35.680 Yeah, and a lot of times you look at these beliefs, especially as, you know, people who might listen to this show every day, someone who, I don't know, reads occasional things.

00:32:45.360 I'm not looking for a high bar here, but like, you know, someone who's mildly informed.

00:32:48.900 You look at this.

00:32:49.400 You're like, these views are just childish.

00:32:51.660 Right.

00:32:51.860 Yeah.

00:32:52.100 But that's the thing.

00:32:53.040 These are childish people.

00:32:54.800 These are people who are essentially intellectual children.

00:32:59.400 They're people who think the sun and the moon are the same thing.

00:33:02.040 That is who you're taught when you have people who are trying to get you canceled on Twitter because of something that you said.

00:33:07.960 They likely think the sun and the moon are the same thing that like that's the level of the person you're talking to.

00:33:13.880 So it's up to you whether you engage in that nonsense.

00:33:17.140 I don't know that it benefits anyone when you do.

00:33:20.000 But like, there's no reason for us to be taking advice from these dolts. 1.00

00:33:23.560 No, no, there is not.

00:33:24.620 Why would we care what they think about anything?

00:33:26.940 No, no.

00:33:27.120 You know, I think I thought about this a lot when when the whole NFL scandal was going on with like Colin Kaepernick and people taking knees and stuff.

00:33:34.260 And it's like people got very fired up about that.

00:33:36.400 And look, I understand that because you're insulting the country.

00:33:39.960 You're taking a knee.

00:33:41.600 You're not honoring the flag.

00:33:43.100 All those things are important to me.

00:33:45.280 However, you have to realize that the people that you're criticizing have the intellectual capacity of an egg.

00:33:51.660 Like, why do we care if they take knees? 0.99

00:33:55.600 Colin Kaepernick is essentially it's like you're talking to a hamster mentally, right?

00:34:01.500 Like the brain function is very limited, almost non-existent, right?

00:34:06.300 Like this person does not make good points because he's incapable of making good points.

00:34:11.400 Why get fired up about whether what he thinks about this country?

00:34:14.820 You should look at it as a miracle that this country exists and can take care of people like him, right?

00:34:23.060 And not only take care, but the guy makes millions of dollars.

00:34:26.180 $20 million just for doing Nike commercials.

00:34:29.240 For doing nothing.

00:34:30.380 Does he even show up to the Nike?

00:34:32.360 Is there any evidence that he's recently shown up to a Nike commercial?

00:34:36.300 I haven't seen one in years.

00:34:37.540 They're paying him so much money as ransom because if they fire him, he will go on television and say how racist they are.

00:34:48.400 So now he has to maintain perpetual employment because everybody knows the second he gets kicked out, what he's going to do.

00:34:56.920 So now, you know, even though I can't imagine he's selling a lot of shoes, Colin Kaepernick was a bad quarterback when he was a quarterback, which he is not anymore.

00:35:06.360 But he did have one good year soon.

00:35:08.000 I don't even agree with that.

00:35:09.080 He had one decent year.

00:35:10.140 I don't even agree with that.

00:35:11.080 He had one almost acceptable year.

00:35:13.060 I will not go off.

00:35:14.120 Serviceable.

00:35:14.600 Would you go serviceable?

00:35:17.120 Surprising.

00:35:17.780 How about surprising?

00:35:19.020 Okay.

00:35:19.520 He took defenses by surprise for a few games and ran around a bunch of times behind one of the historically best offensive lines in history.

00:35:27.640 Right.

00:35:28.420 And still didn't win at the end of the day.

00:35:31.960 So, look, I'm not...

00:35:33.760 What was his quarterback rating?

00:35:35.020 Wasn't it one of the lowest, not just in the league at that time, I think one of the lowest in a starting quarterback in history, if I remember correctly.

00:35:43.200 He's had stretches like that, for sure.

00:35:45.120 Yeah, really bad.

00:35:45.880 You know, I mean, I did a...

00:35:47.140 There's a whole show.

00:35:48.000 I did a whole show on this once called, you know, Stu Does Colin Kaepernick.

00:35:51.640 And...

00:35:51.920 Which I love.

00:35:52.600 Yeah.

00:35:52.880 And it goes through his entire career.

00:35:55.140 Yeah.

00:35:55.640 Game by game.

00:35:57.020 To tell everybody that, like, yes, he's an idiot.

00:35:59.520 Sure.

00:36:00.340 That's part of this conversation.

00:36:01.780 But more importantly, he was a bad quarterback.

00:36:04.600 Well, because...

00:36:05.320 Yes, I can't.

00:36:05.780 And that was necessary because people acted like he was the second coming of...

00:36:09.960 Of...

00:36:11.100 Joe Namath.

00:36:13.860 Right.

00:36:14.680 Or Joe Montana, even.

00:36:16.680 Exactly.

00:36:17.300 They were acting like he was the best quarterback who's ever played the game.

00:36:22.780 And he wasn't even good.

00:36:25.360 No.

00:36:25.720 Little and best.

00:36:26.720 No.

00:36:27.100 I remind people as often as I can that before Colin Kaepernick ever took a knee, ever took

00:36:35.540 one...

00:36:36.040 He didn't take a knee.

00:36:37.800 He hadn't done any of that stuff yet.

00:36:39.120 He hadn't taken a stand against the flag.

00:36:40.420 He didn't wear the cops or pigs socks yet.

00:36:42.760 None of that stuff had happened.

00:36:44.260 Before all of that happened, he lost his job to Blaine Gabbert.

00:36:48.220 That says everything you need to know about why he's not a starting quarterback in the

00:36:55.060 league now.

00:36:56.000 More coming up in just a minute.

00:36:58.160 Well, we're halfway through the first month of the new year, and already those New Year's

00:37:02.620 resolutions are probably starting to weigh you down.

00:37:05.360 So, one thing you can do, take something off your list.

00:37:08.540 Do you have a box somewhere of your family's treasured home movies and photos, maybe tucked

00:37:12.600 away behind the old bowling trophies in the back of the closet?

00:37:15.180 And you've been meaning to find a way to preserve them for years, but, you know, it seems like

00:37:20.820 a lot of work, and it is, but it's not if you use Legacy Box.

00:37:24.300 Legacy Box makes checking this off your to-do list very easy.

00:37:27.700 Just send your Legacy Box filled with home movies, photos, whatever you have, all these

00:37:31.600 different formats, and you'll get back digital copies along with your originals in a format

00:37:36.100 that is now permanent.

00:37:37.760 You know, this is an amazing service.

00:37:39.380 It's safe.

00:37:40.040 They do an excellent job.

00:37:41.100 They deliver on their promise to preserve your memories.

00:37:43.320 Like, you're never going to go through, like, an old, like, I don't know, VHS tape to watch

00:37:48.340 it again.

00:37:48.720 These things are going to, they're going to go away if you don't move on this and make

00:37:52.760 sure they're preserved.

00:37:53.600 You can kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories.

00:38:08.700 Glenn Beck.

00:38:09.480 By the way, as I was ranting about Colin Kaepernick, I should remind you that you can get, yes,

00:38:33.020 I have shirts and mugs made with that phrase, you know, before Colin Kaepernick ever took

00:38:38.460 a knee, he lost his job to Blaine Gabbard.

00:38:40.820 So, if you want to make sure people know this, it's my favorite shirt to wear to, like, a

00:38:45.360 tailgate.

00:38:46.080 It's so great.

00:38:46.560 Because people look at it, and it kind of looks like a shirt that's honoring Colin Kaepernick

00:38:49.420 until you look closely.

00:38:50.540 Uh-huh.

00:38:50.860 And then you realize, actually, no, it's the exact opposite.

00:38:53.720 So, just in case.

00:38:55.180 If you know football at all, you know Blaine Gabbard is maybe one of the worst quarterbacks in

00:39:00.640 the history of the NFL.

00:39:01.740 I mean, he, you know, he was a bit of a disappointment.

00:39:04.240 But he beat out Colin Kaepernick.

00:39:05.760 He did have a Super Bowl ring, and he beat out Colin Kaepernick.

00:39:08.720 So, he's got that going for him.

00:39:10.160 And he's still in the league, unlike Colin Kaepernick, we should note.

00:39:14.000 And that's available at StuDoesMerch.com.

00:39:16.780 StuDoesMerch.com.

00:39:17.500 If you use the code Stu10, you can save 10%.

00:39:19.480 By the way, really good news.

00:39:21.620 Facebook and Instagram will now allow transgender and non-binary users to flash their bare breasts 1.00

00:39:29.260 on these services.

00:39:30.980 Finally.

00:39:31.520 I've been, we've been, how long have we been demanding this?

00:39:33.240 We started a charity years ago?

00:39:34.360 Late 40s, I think.

00:39:35.440 Yeah, yeah.

00:39:35.700 We started doing this.

00:39:36.760 Yeah, and we've been raising money, like Glenn was raising money to save people in Afghanistan.

00:39:39.900 We were like, we've got to get these non-binary people to be able to show their breasts on 1.00

00:39:43.000 Instagram.

00:39:43.280 And now they can.

00:39:44.060 So, it was successful.

00:39:45.980 Finally.

00:39:46.460 I'm darn proud of it.

00:39:47.560 Darn proud of it.

00:39:48.240 Now, Pat, so women can't show their breasts. 1.00

00:39:51.620 No, if you're a biological woman, you may not show your breasts. 1.00

00:39:55.320 Okay.

00:39:55.680 On Facebook.

00:39:56.300 So, if you were a, let's say you're an Instagram model, a biological woman, you think maybe 0.94

00:40:00.140 there might be some clicks in this here if I can show my bountiful bazooms.

00:40:05.120 Yeah.

00:40:06.540 You could theoretically just identify as a man, not have any of the surgeries, just identify

00:40:14.400 as a man, put it in your pronouns, and then show your bare breasts and probably get lots 0.62

00:40:17.820 and lots of clicks.

00:40:19.560 Logically, I think you probably, seems like you could, right?

00:40:22.500 This is a new industry completely.

00:40:24.500 Wow.

00:40:25.280 Yeah.

00:40:25.680 I'm surprised.

00:40:26.420 This is going to be a thing, isn't it?

00:40:28.340 People are totally going to do this.

00:40:29.860 Meta's oversight board, an independent body of experts, which they call it a Supreme Court

00:40:37.140 for Facebook or whatever, for content and moderation censorship policies, ordered Facebook

00:40:44.020 and Instagram to lift the ban on images of topless women for anyone who identifies, which

00:40:50.020 is what you're saying you would do if you're an actual female, you just identify as a male.

00:40:53.920 Well, then I believe you could show your breasts. 1.00

00:40:57.600 So that's for anybody who identifies as transgender or non-binary, meaning they themselves are neither

00:41:04.040 male or female.

00:41:05.580 Yeah.

00:41:05.880 I think you could circumvent this policy.

00:41:08.780 Huh.

00:41:09.180 If you identify as a man, that's interesting, because I think, yes, people will do that.

00:41:16.280 Will they not?

00:41:17.440 I think it just makes sense that they would do it.

00:41:19.520 Certainly seems like something that would happen on Instagram.

00:41:22.260 Yeah, it does.

00:41:23.520 Get excited, everybody.

00:41:24.560 Install your apps now.

00:41:25.580 Log in soon.

00:41:26.580 So all bets are off now on Facebook and Instagram.

00:41:29.800 Good luck with that.

00:41:32.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:34.540 Let's tell you about Bill Barr here.

00:41:36.060 Bill Barr is, and this is something that started with my wife, actually.

00:41:39.360 She found Bill Barr.

00:41:40.820 She started talking about it a lot.

00:41:42.520 Tanya heard about it from Lisa, my wife, and then Tanya told Glenn about it, and now

00:41:47.020 Glenn's been talking about it like crazy.

00:43:28.100 888-727-BECK

00:43:30.200 The Pfizer CEO, Al Borla, was asked a whole bunch of questions while he was walking down the street.

00:43:40.600 And he, I think this was in Davos, and he didn't want to answer any of them.

00:43:46.200 But we'll show you what, and you'll be able to hear what was asked him.

00:43:52.220 Really, like 29 great questions put to the head of Pfizer.

00:43:57.080 We'll get to that in one minute.

00:45:14.540 All right, you have got to see this interrogation of Al Borla from Pfizer.

00:45:27.760 He's the CEO.

00:45:29.900 And he had a couple of people on the street asking him questions, one after another.

00:45:34.660 And they didn't ask him to stop.

00:45:37.620 They didn't ask him to, you know, do anything formal.

00:45:40.920 He could have answered him just as he was walking down the street.

00:45:44.520 But here's what happened.

00:45:46.420 This is cut 12.

00:45:50.260 Mr. Borla, can I ask you, when did you know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission?

00:45:56.120 How long did you know that without saying it publicly?

00:45:59.060 Thank you very much.

00:46:00.080 I'm sorry.

00:46:00.620 To answer that question.

00:46:01.400 Thank you very much.

00:46:02.200 I mean, we now know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission.

00:46:05.960 Yeah.

00:46:06.200 But why did you keep it secret?

00:46:09.620 You said it was 100% effective.

00:46:11.800 Then 90%, then 80%, then 70%.

00:46:14.940 But we now know that the vaccines do not stop transmission.

00:46:18.600 Why did you keep that secret?

00:46:20.600 Have a nice day.

00:46:21.300 I won't have a nice day until I know the answer.

00:46:24.720 Why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission?

00:46:31.700 Is it time to apologize to the world, sir?

00:46:34.180 To give refunds back to the countries that poured all their money into your vaccine that doesn't work, your ineffective vaccine?

00:46:41.000 Yeah, you have a little bear around.

00:46:42.660 Are you not ashamed of what you've done in the last couple of years?

00:46:45.520 Do you have any apologies to the public, sir?

00:46:47.380 Are you proud of it?

00:46:52.180 You've made millions on the backs of people's entire livelihoods.

00:46:56.540 How does that feel to walk the streets as a millionaire on the backs of the regular person at home in Australia, in England, in Canada?

00:47:04.520 What do you think about on your yacht, sir?

00:47:06.740 What do you think about on your private jet?

00:47:09.320 Are you worried about product liability?

00:47:11.660 Are you worried about myocarditis?

00:47:14.500 What about the sudden deaths?

00:47:17.380 What do you have to say about young men dropping dead of heart attacks every day?

00:47:25.280 Not a lot.

00:47:25.880 Why won't you answer these basic questions?

00:47:29.680 Good question.

00:47:31.340 No apologies, sir.

00:47:32.800 Do you think you should be charged criminally for some of the criminal behavior?

00:47:39.000 I'll stop and answer that one.

00:47:39.700 Yes, I do think I should be charged criminally.

00:47:41.380 How much money have you personally made off the vaccine?

00:47:46.260 Good question.

00:47:46.600 How many boosters do you think it'll take for you to be happy enough with your earnings?

00:47:54.800 Nothing?

00:47:56.280 Who did you meet with here in secret?

00:47:59.120 Will you disclose who you met with?

00:48:00.840 Who did you pay commissions to?

00:48:05.840 In the past, Pfizer has paid $2.3 billion in fines for deceptive marketing.

00:48:12.080 Have you engaged in that same conduct again?

00:48:16.840 Yes.

00:48:17.540 Yes, sir.

00:48:17.840 Thank you for asking.

00:48:18.920 Are you under investigation like you were before for your deceptive marketing, sir?

00:48:25.880 He just keeps watching.

00:48:26.660 If any other product in the world doesn't work, as promised, you get a refund.

00:48:31.200 Should you not refund to countries that laid out billions for your ineffective vaccine?

00:48:39.380 Are you used to only sympathetic media so you don't know how to answer any questions?

00:48:44.540 Yes.

00:48:44.940 Is that it?

00:48:46.300 Yes, that's another good point.

00:48:49.340 Shame on you, sir.

00:48:50.800 Shame on you.

00:48:53.060 I mean.

00:48:54.500 Hilarious.

00:48:55.000 I love that.

00:48:55.960 I love it.

00:48:56.640 29 great questions.

00:49:00.520 Zero answers of any kind.

00:49:03.040 Well, he said, no, he said, have a nice day.

00:49:04.480 Oh, he did say, have a nice day.

00:49:06.300 Yeah.

00:49:06.600 Have a nice day.

00:49:07.440 It'd be great at the end of that if he's like, I'm sorry, I just don't speak English.

00:49:10.320 And, uh, uh, you know, it's, it's a, it's a, uh, they're persistent.

00:49:15.220 I'll say that.

00:49:15.940 They'll say that.

00:49:16.520 I mean, that's not easy to do.

00:49:18.140 No, no.

00:49:19.180 That's hard.

00:49:19.780 It's also odd that the guy, you know, the CEO of Pfizer in this climate is walking around

00:49:24.280 with no security or anything.

00:49:26.600 Like again, like, you know, he, he should just answer questions of course, but, uh, he's not

00:49:31.420 going to, I'm surprised though.

00:49:32.900 In Davos, he's not, he's not walking around with a bunch of very large men with very large

00:49:37.520 weapons.

00:49:38.040 Me too.

00:49:38.320 They just kind of shoo these guys away.

00:49:40.080 Yeah.

00:49:40.520 And there was none of that.

00:49:42.260 I will say that like, you know, we do know what Pfizer does here.

00:49:46.280 They make the, the little blue pill.

00:49:48.140 He had a yacht before this.

00:49:49.600 Like this is not, he's, he's not a financially restricted in any way, but he made some cash

00:49:56.280 on Viagra.

00:49:57.460 He maybe did okay with the Viagra thing and many other medications.

00:50:01.780 Um, but, uh, yeah, you know, look, these guys are not used to anybody, but friendly

00:50:07.620 media, you know, and you know, like there's a, a lot of people have a lot of questions

00:50:13.180 and, you know, there's no reason they shouldn't, they should engage more in this stuff.

00:50:16.500 I think, you know, I think it would be helpful for these companies to just sit there and,

00:50:20.440 you know, like answer some of these questions.

00:50:22.580 If there was a good answer to it.

00:50:23.920 Yeah.

00:50:24.100 Let's hear it.

00:50:24.780 There, there are no good answers because they're right.

00:50:27.560 I mean, at the very beginning of the Pfizer vaccine, they were claiming 95% efficacy that

00:50:33.940 quickly went down and it went down again and it went down again.

00:50:37.660 And then it turns out, well, they didn't even study that.

00:50:40.420 They didn't even test that.

00:50:41.900 They had, they had no proof of any efficacy.

00:50:45.460 Um, cause they didn't, they didn't test it.

00:50:48.280 Well, then where did you get the 95% figure?

00:50:51.160 That was a, you know, those are some really good questions to put to him.

00:50:55.540 Um, seems like there was, I don't know, some incongruencies there.

00:51:01.920 Yeah.

00:51:02.300 I mean, I think, look, I think the, the, the whole storyline changed for a lot of people

00:51:07.520 as we went through, you know, 2020 and 2021, I mean, when you hit the Omicron thing, it

00:51:13.100 changed.

00:51:13.380 I mean, look, again, you can go, you should be able to do what you want to do.

00:51:17.760 You want to take vaccines?

00:51:18.700 You can take them.

00:51:19.180 If you don't want to take them, you shouldn't have to take them.

00:51:21.120 That, that should be a basic fundamental human right in the United States of America.

00:51:24.840 Anything other than that is just an insult.

00:51:27.180 Um, you know, but obviously there was a lot of people who were skeptical of the vaccines

00:51:30.940 who brought up a lot of these complaints and thought this stuff would happen.

00:51:34.780 And on the other hand, a lot of those people were saying that natural immunity would be

00:51:38.700 effective and no, there'd be no breakthrough cases through natural immunity.

00:51:42.380 Once you get the disease, you get it.

00:51:43.720 I mean, one of the main things, a lot of conservatives were arguing for at the beginning

00:51:47.220 was, Hey, you know, let the people who are in their twenties get COVID, uh, you know,

00:51:53.860 if it happens, you know, you don't, you don't go out there and try to get it, but if you

00:51:57.100 get it, that'll give us immunity.

00:51:58.500 Eventually we'll hit herd immunity and it'll, we don't have to worry about this anymore.

00:52:01.380 Well, that didn't work either.

00:52:02.600 Right.

00:52:02.900 You know, the Omicron really did nothing.

00:52:05.640 Once we hit Omicron, these things really were, were past the point of relevance.

00:52:12.140 I really think like the vaccine story, it gets a lot of, you know, a lot of people are

00:52:15.940 talking about it and like, you know, it's going to be a big story, but really the vaccine

00:52:19.020 is really a 2021 story.

00:52:21.360 It wants, from the beginning of when the vaccine came out to Omicron is where real relevance,

00:52:26.940 I think was, I think it was an interesting conversation.

00:52:29.560 I think we're beyond that at this point, frankly.

00:52:31.960 I think so too.

00:52:32.380 You know, I mean, look, everyone should be able to ask the questions they want to ask.

00:52:35.340 And they should be able to get the answers, but that doesn't happen, but that's not going

00:52:38.720 to happen.

00:52:39.180 They're never going to answer because these people, of course, want to protect their business.

00:52:43.420 They're, they do legitimately want to protect their business.

00:52:47.720 Many of these things they're protected from though.

00:52:50.060 You know, when we were, you know, going through the process of, of war of operation warp speed

00:52:55.840 built into a lot of that was, Hey, please do this really fast.

00:52:59.300 And, you know, if you're not going to get sued for all these things, if something goes wrong,

00:53:03.640 we really need you to produce something quickly.

00:53:05.340 That was part of the argument of operation warp speed.

00:53:07.800 So rather than 10 years, it took nine months.

00:53:10.120 Yeah.

00:53:10.660 And look, and we maybe paid a price for that.

00:53:13.520 I mean, you know, it depends on your perspective on that.

00:53:15.900 Yeah.

00:53:16.160 But you know, it's a, you know, a lot of people are worried about it and, and that's, and

00:53:20.520 I keep coming back to this where it's like, like the food pyramid, right?

00:53:25.740 Remember the food pyramid, which I think now is the food compass.

00:53:28.100 Is it?

00:53:29.360 Is it?

00:53:29.680 Did they change this?

00:53:30.380 It went from a pyramid to a compass?

00:53:31.520 Yeah.

00:53:31.720 I think they changed the food pyramid to a food compass.

00:53:34.420 I didn't know that.

00:53:35.280 I, over the last couple of years.

00:53:36.920 And you didn't know that.

00:53:37.660 Why didn't you know that?

00:53:39.060 Why didn't you know that?

00:53:39.760 Shouldn't you know that?

00:53:40.560 I should know that.

00:53:40.660 I think the federal government is telling you, you should follow the food compass, Pat.

00:53:44.740 Huh.

00:53:45.060 And I'm pretty sure Kexi Cookies is not on the food compass.

00:53:48.160 Like it's, no, I think it is.

00:53:50.800 It is?

00:53:51.340 Yeah, I think it is.

00:53:52.080 It's like West.

00:53:52.700 It's made with really interesting broccoli and alfalfa sprouts.

00:53:56.580 It doesn't taste like it at all.

00:53:57.580 No, it doesn't.

00:53:58.040 It's made with butter and sugar.

00:54:00.420 Lots of butter.

00:54:01.320 Right.

00:54:01.780 So for years and years and years, decades, the federal government had the food pyramid.

00:54:07.400 And the food pyramid had, hey, eat a bunch of eggs, eat a bunch of meat,

00:54:09.960 eat a bunch of grains, you know, all that stuff.

00:54:11.840 We all remember looking at that when we were kids.

00:54:13.780 Yeah.

00:54:14.080 And there were always critiques on it.

00:54:15.960 Like, hey, is this the reason why we have so many fat people?

00:54:18.780 Like people are trying to eat like the food pyramid?

00:54:20.640 Are eggs creating a lot of cholesterol? 0.75

00:54:22.140 Right.

00:54:22.400 Like, yeah, everyone had these questions.

00:54:24.040 We've gone back and forth on that for years.

00:54:25.700 There are people who make really in-depth arguments as to why the food pyramid caused real societal harm

00:54:32.560 and cost us billions of dollars because the government was promoting these things,

00:54:36.580 particularly in schools, that created fat children, that created fat adults, on and on and on and on.

00:54:41.280 That all exists out there.

00:54:43.100 But how much passion is there really behind it?

00:54:46.660 Does anyone care?

00:54:48.280 Like, the federal government came out with the food pyramid.

00:54:51.620 They made these recommendations about what we should eat.

00:54:53.740 And you know what I did?

00:54:54.780 Ate whatever I wanted.

00:54:56.280 That's what I did.

00:54:57.100 What did you do, Pat?

00:54:57.880 Same thing.

00:54:58.340 You ate whatever you wanted, right?

00:54:59.560 I did, yes.

00:55:00.000 You ignored their advice.

00:55:02.260 And so there isn't societal consternation about the food pyramid because what they did was make a recommendation, not mandate it.

00:55:10.980 Yes.

00:55:11.240 If they mandated the food pyramid, it would be a massive story and we would all be pissed off about it.

00:55:16.920 And every little problem with it, every little disagreement would become an international incident because we would be pissed off.

00:55:23.080 The government was mandating this stupid pyramid.

00:55:25.100 So, if the government wants to say, hey, we came up with a vaccine, we came up with a treatment, we think it works, here's our recommendation, you should take it.

00:55:34.280 And that's it?

00:55:35.520 This story is long dead, right?

00:55:38.500 No question.

00:55:38.920 The story, it does not matter to people like it does because they try to force people to take it.

00:55:44.600 Yeah.

00:55:44.860 Or you lose your job.

00:55:45.780 Or you lose your job.

00:55:46.620 You lose your livelihood.

00:55:47.560 People are out on the streets over this.

00:55:49.180 They're being threatened.

00:55:50.160 Their kids can't go to school.

00:55:51.540 If you just remove that one element out of this, you might say, like, if you're a big vaccine skeptic, you might say, hey, well, there's health effects that are associated with this.

00:56:02.820 But the only people who would be dealing with them are the people who chose to take the vaccine.

00:56:08.020 The people who said, well, I think there might be health benefits, wouldn't have to take it.

00:56:12.040 And therefore, they can all say, hey, you bunch of idiots, you shouldn't have taken that.

00:56:16.140 And that's the end of the story, right?

00:56:18.800 Instead, we have this situation where they tried to force people to take it instead of just saying, like, look, it's here.

00:56:26.480 Take it if you want.

00:56:28.200 And that's the end of the day.

00:56:29.780 And if they would just approach it that way, things, I think, would be a lot different.

00:56:34.020 And people wouldn't feel the same way that they do about this now.

00:56:37.000 But, like, understandably, when you're saying you must do something and then you believe there are bad effects to that, you're going to have a really negative reaction.

00:56:49.420 You know, that's just the way life is.

00:56:51.340 Of course, you don't want to.

00:56:52.700 This is America.

00:56:54.120 You don't want to be told.

00:56:54.820 This is not North Korea.

00:56:55.960 America, if Kim Jong-un tells his population to do X, Y, and Z, they just accept it because that's unfortunately they've been fed with, you know, a hundred years of propaganda to believe this man's basically a god.

00:57:08.380 And so whatever he says goes, you know, this is instead a country that was built on the exact opposite principle.

00:57:15.780 And yet you had people like Arnold Schwarzenegger saying that people think they have the freedom, not that they could screw your freedom.

00:57:24.960 What?

00:57:25.420 In the United States of America?

00:57:27.280 Screw my freedom?

00:57:28.160 Isn't he Austrian?

00:57:29.460 Yes.

00:57:29.860 Yeah.

00:57:30.260 That's not a huge surprise.

00:57:32.340 All right.

00:57:33.120 More coming up in one minute.

00:57:36.300 Let me tell you something.

00:57:37.840 What are all villains throughout history?

00:57:40.480 What have they had on their side when it came to spreading tyranny?

00:57:43.860 It's the same thing the World Economic Forum has on its side this week in Davos.

00:57:48.740 And that thing is complacency.

00:57:50.440 You know, enough people will ignore it and do nothing.

00:57:52.980 That's what they depend on.

00:57:54.440 What do we do when the next bad guy comes along?

00:57:56.460 Do we just sit there?

00:57:57.340 Do we own nothing?

00:57:58.740 Are we happy about that?

00:58:00.360 Do we like eating bugs?

00:58:03.160 Probably not.

00:58:04.200 I don't.

00:58:04.740 They're not on the food pyramid, Pat.

00:58:06.040 I won't eat them.

00:58:07.320 We do need to educate ourselves and our children and everyone that we know because we need to be able to spot these villains

00:58:12.880 before they can get anywhere close to holding the real power or influence that they want.

00:58:17.000 That's where the Tuttle Twins books come in.

00:58:19.080 Their new book, The Guide to Modern Villains, shows how 22 modern villains, people like Mao, rose to power.

00:58:25.140 To celebrate the launch of their book, the Tuttle Twins have their whole guidebook series on sale right now.

00:58:29.820 If you go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, get these books right now on sale this week only.

00:58:34.840 tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:58:35.940 You can get these books.

00:58:36.860 They will teach your kids important lessons.

00:58:38.220 My kids love these books.

00:58:39.140 We read them together all the time, and it's great because they're teaching foundational principles that actually matter

00:58:43.740 so they don't fall for all the BS that they're going to be inundated with over their lives.

00:58:49.000 tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:58:49.980 It's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:58:52.300 Ten seconds.

00:58:53.000 Station ID.

00:58:53.460 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:59:06.000 Albert Borla wouldn't answer any questions on the street, but he did have some things to say.

00:59:11.960 Had a really big announcement about what's coming from Pfizer.

00:59:14.620 There's some new stuff that's extremely exciting that they're working on right now, and he talked about that.

00:59:20.940 Where are you on a flu vaccine based on mRNA?

00:59:24.180 Oh, the studies are running.

00:59:25.800 They have completely recruited.

00:59:27.620 We are waiting for cases as they accumulate.

00:59:29.540 It means that people have been vaccinated, placebo, vaccine, and the disease.

00:59:35.380 Some of them will get disease, and then we are waiting to unblind the data to see what is coming.

00:59:39.800 I think it will come in this year, in 2023.

00:59:41.880 Well, that's what I was going to ask.

00:59:42.900 I mean, you can't guarantee a timeline depending on the clinical trials.

00:59:45.500 No, because you...

00:59:46.260 But your best guess, what would you think?

00:59:47.180 I think by the first half of the year, maybe.

00:59:50.980 First half of the year?

00:59:51.860 Yeah, June, July.

00:59:52.740 Oh, good.

00:59:53.220 And so how far are we away from one vaccine that's both COVID and flu together?

00:59:58.080 First, we need to have the flu.

00:59:59.860 And if we have the flu, already we started experiments to combine the two.

01:00:06.320 Oh, good.

01:00:07.000 So that we don't lose time again.

01:00:08.820 I think we'll come more or less all together if it is successful.

01:00:12.920 Okay.

01:00:13.300 First of all, he's a liar.

01:00:14.820 He said it was first half of the year, and then he said July.

01:00:17.620 That's not the first half of the year.

01:00:18.960 It's the second half of the year.

01:00:20.660 It's the only other half that exists.

01:00:22.320 By nature, it's the seventh month.

01:00:24.580 There's only 12.

01:00:25.520 What?

01:00:25.880 This bastard.

01:00:28.780 I mean, look, you know, you hope at some point the technology that they have, this stuff

01:00:33.120 could be really promising.

01:00:34.220 It might really do some incredible things in the future.

01:00:37.240 You know, I'm hopeful.

01:00:38.860 Maybe.

01:00:39.280 But it may not.

01:00:40.120 But they've given some people such a bad taste in their mouth over the vaccine now that they're

01:00:44.420 going to be skeptical about anything that comes out.

01:00:46.500 I mean, you know, look, it's totally, totally true.

01:00:49.980 And there's got to be, it's become, you know, one of these issues that is split mainly on

01:00:54.920 political lines.

01:00:56.080 And then there's a good chunk of Republicans in particular.

01:00:59.060 And this is the opposite of what it used to be.

01:01:01.060 I mean, it used to be people like, you know, Jim Carrey and RFK Jr., who's still, you know,

01:01:06.880 very much in that movement and, you know, what's her face, Jenny McCarthy, who kind

01:01:11.220 of led that, you know, the anti-vaccine sort of movement.

01:01:14.480 And they were largely on the left.

01:01:16.280 And that's changed.

01:01:17.080 I mean, there's a great story about a town in California, which was the most vaccine 0.98

01:01:23.400 skeptical town in the country.

01:01:26.180 And they're super liberal.

01:01:28.840 They're like 90% Democratic voters.

01:01:31.600 And this is before COVID.

01:01:32.920 I'm talking about pre-COVID vaccines.

01:01:34.720 And so they were incredibly skeptical of the vaccines.

01:01:39.480 You know, they had breakouts of measles and mumps in the community and all these things

01:01:43.540 because they were, you know, and they just didn't want to do it.

01:01:46.720 They've been listening to RFK Jr.

01:01:47.200 They've been listening to RFK Jr.

01:01:48.180 And they didn't want to do it.

01:01:48.980 And again, like, you know, not necessarily the way I would advise people, but that's what

01:01:54.020 they wanted to do.

01:01:55.020 And so they decided to choose that way until they were skeptical of all these vaccines until

01:02:00.420 the COVID vaccines, where then the COVID vaccines were the thing that the left was supposed to

01:02:07.160 like and the right was not supposed to like.

01:02:08.880 So then this town that had been super skeptical of vaccines for decades just switched completely

01:02:16.560 and had the highest vaccination rate in the area.

01:02:19.660 Wow.

01:02:20.060 And were banning kids from school if they weren't vaccinated.

01:02:23.800 And all of these things, there's like the exact opposite of what they had been doing this entire time.

01:02:29.940 Isn't that interesting?

01:02:30.760 It's fascinating.

01:02:31.560 It really is.

01:02:32.600 Especially since Donald Trump is the one who really rushed that whole process through.

01:02:38.500 Yeah.

01:02:38.740 Provided a whole bunch of money to the pharmaceuticals to help them make it really quickly.

01:02:44.300 And a bunch of liberals are like, yep, give me that Trump vaccine.

01:02:47.320 Yeah, they all, you know, they all hated big pharma companies until the day the COVID vaccines

01:02:52.200 came.

01:02:52.360 It really is fascinating.

01:02:53.400 Incredible.

01:02:53.620 And I think, honestly, it's one of the most fascinating political developments that I've

01:02:58.440 ever seen to see the next couple of years develop because, you know, Donald Trump, he just

01:03:03.520 did an interview the other day.

01:03:04.520 Yeah.

01:03:04.820 He has not changed his view at all.

01:03:06.760 Not at all.

01:03:07.100 The vaccines are very positive.

01:03:08.220 He says, you know, they saved 100 million lives.

01:03:10.400 Right.

01:03:10.800 And, you know, look, it's, you know, he's survived this long because he knows his base

01:03:18.540 very well.

01:03:19.940 And he, that is not a viewpoint that the base holds right now.

01:03:24.520 No, that's for sure.

01:03:25.380 They may have held it in 2021 and 2020, but they don't hold it now.

01:03:30.160 And he's trying to run in a primary against people who are, I mean, DeSantis is a great

01:03:35.400 example.

01:03:35.740 He was just as pro-vaccine as anybody else back when these things were coming out.

01:03:38.580 And now he looks very skeptical.

01:03:40.980 Right.

01:03:41.240 People know their base.

01:03:42.600 They know how to react to their base.

01:03:43.920 And Trump is like sticking by this.

01:03:45.460 It's going to be fascinating to see if he can pull that off.

01:03:47.540 It's not going to be easy.

01:03:48.540 That's going to be a political gymnast routine that I've never seen anyone pull off before.

01:03:53.680 Yeah.

01:03:54.140 He's done it before, though.

01:03:55.320 He's been able to do that stuff before.

01:03:56.780 So we'll see.

01:03:58.000 888-727-BECK.

01:04:00.060 More Pat and Stupor Glenn coming up.

01:04:22.040 If you're a homeowner, you know, it's a pretty good bet that you felt a lot more secure about

01:04:25.940 your financial future a couple years ago than you do now.

01:04:28.380 Now, inflation is, you know, been a disaster growing, you know, fatter and fatter under

01:04:33.620 the watchful eye of an administration, seemingly doing nothing but feeding it.

01:04:37.140 And every day, the American economy looks a little bit bleaker than it did the day before.

01:06:14.080 He's been out for a couple days here.

01:06:15.820 And, you know, again, we mentioned this earlier, you know, if you're a praying person, it would be great if you could say some prayers for Glenn and his family.

01:06:23.740 They're going through some tough times, and we appreciate your understanding as, you know.

01:06:26.640 He's talked about some of that.

01:06:27.720 Yes.

01:06:28.040 They've really been through the ringer lately.

01:06:30.600 Yeah.

01:06:31.200 So, yeah.

01:06:32.440 I mean, it's been tough.

01:06:33.580 It's been a rough road.

01:06:34.360 And, you know, so we do appreciate all of your, I know he really, he really appreciates your prayers.

01:06:40.760 It means a lot to him that so many of you take your time and think of him in those moments.

01:06:46.880 So, if you don't mind, it's a good, it's a good time.

01:06:49.320 It's never a bad time, Pat.

01:06:50.680 No, that's right.

01:06:51.320 Never a bad time.

01:06:51.840 Yeah, never a bad time to pray.

01:06:53.360 Right now is a good time.

01:06:54.320 Right.

01:06:54.980 It is.

01:06:55.640 And I think, you know, a lot of us think that Glenn's got a pretty sweet life.

01:06:59.480 And in many ways, he does.

01:07:01.240 Yes.

01:07:01.500 However, right now and for a while, they've gone through some rough times as a family.

01:07:06.520 He's mentioned a lot of this stuff.

01:07:08.000 And it's funny because it doesn't matter.

01:07:09.620 Obviously, Glenn's very successful.

01:07:11.060 The guy at the Radio Hall of Fame.

01:07:12.560 And, you know, he does well.

01:07:14.160 Glenn does well in his career.

01:07:17.320 But some stuff, it just doesn't matter.

01:07:20.660 Hasn't made him immune like any of us.

01:07:22.740 It doesn't.

01:07:23.780 From trials.

01:07:24.920 So, anyway, we appreciate you thinking of him and hanging out with us here as we get to fill in here for a couple days

01:07:30.840 and make fun of Al Gore and the CEO of Pfizer.

01:07:33.880 I mean, at least we get to have fun when he's in misery.

01:07:37.760 That's always good.

01:07:39.020 You know, we get to still enjoy ourselves.

01:07:40.600 And that's the most important thing.

01:07:41.680 I think we can all agree.

01:07:42.660 That's the most important thing.

01:07:44.260 There's an interesting situation.

01:07:46.480 And I'd like to know your thoughts on this, Stu, because you still have young kids.

01:07:51.520 My kids are grown now, and so they don't do a lot of sleepovers.

01:07:56.280 But I'm guessing that you...

01:07:58.360 Yeah, they don't.

01:07:59.680 As adults, they don't sleep over at friends' house that often.

01:08:03.600 Yeah, it's weird.

01:08:05.160 But there is a thing apparently right now where a lot of parents are kind of giving second thoughts to sleepovers

01:08:13.040 and not allowing them for any number of reasons, one of which, I guess, you know, they're afraid of abuse.

01:08:21.440 Is that...

01:08:22.360 I think that's one of the things.

01:08:23.920 That's one of the reasons.

01:08:24.740 Because you...

01:08:25.420 I mean, do you ever know for sure what's going on in somebody else's house?

01:08:29.060 No, you never know for sure.

01:08:31.180 But again, like, this seems to tie into the fact that we've, despite the world being a statistically much safer place from crime...

01:08:40.040 That it was when we were young, yeah.

01:08:42.060 Much, much, yeah.

01:08:43.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:08:44.780 You know, this is...

01:08:45.780 Lenore Skenazy talks about this a lot where, you know, that we've kind of put this bubble wrap around our kids.

01:08:52.060 I'm totally guilty of this at some level.

01:08:54.100 Me too.

01:08:54.560 Where, you know, my kids are young.

01:08:56.220 And I remember when I was their age, you know, I would just wander out.

01:08:59.560 Like, in summer, my mom would go to work, and I would walk to my friend's house.

01:09:02.840 It was like a mile away, and we would hang out and play all day.

01:09:05.220 And I'd come back.

01:09:05.900 You know, this typical story.

01:09:07.240 You come back when it gets dark and maybe have dinner, and it's just, you know, people kind of knew around the neighborhood,

01:09:12.540 and people kind of kept an eye on you a little bit.

01:09:15.080 But basically, we did whatever we wanted, which most of the time was eating Hostess products and playing wiffle ball.

01:09:22.200 And, you know, you came back, and that was it.

01:09:24.000 And I...

01:09:24.840 My kids don't do that. 0.63

01:09:25.820 Everything, you know, that's not...

01:09:27.700 I don't let my kid walk around for a mile by himself to his friends.

01:09:31.020 Like, I don't do that at all.

01:09:32.480 No!

01:09:32.780 And I know, because we think this way a lot.

01:09:35.960 Like, I'm a guy who likes numbers.

01:09:37.540 I can look at them and say, hey, I know, intellectually, this viewpoint makes no sense.

01:09:44.120 I know it.

01:09:45.100 I live in a safe area.

01:09:46.740 We are in a low crime period.

01:09:48.640 While we've seen it tick ups, you know, the 2020 period was, you know, a little bit different.

01:09:53.020 We've seen some things...

01:09:54.380 Murder rate has gone up in some cities.

01:09:56.040 There are some problems.

01:09:56.860 You know, obviously, some drug abuse issues have arisen over the years.

01:10:00.360 But generally speaking, we are in a low crime period.

01:10:03.980 We are in, you know, the most profound example of this is I was more than double, or twice as likely to be killed in a mass shooting at my school when I was a kid.

01:10:20.000 Than kids are now.

01:10:21.300 Than kids are now.

01:10:22.080 And that is...

01:10:22.800 It's double?

01:10:23.540 Blows people's minds.

01:10:25.480 Yeah.

01:10:25.680 It's more than double.

01:10:27.180 Oh, wow.

01:10:27.860 In the...

01:10:28.220 Now, when I was in high school, it was in the 90s, and crime rates were higher.

01:10:33.060 And the difference between mass shootings, school shootings, I should say, back then, and now, is what we see now are very disturbed kids who get guns and try to essentially take the leaderboard on their video game, right?

01:10:48.000 They come in and they decide they're going to try to kill as many people as possible.

01:10:50.680 So we see mass shootings.

01:10:52.840 What we saw in the 90s were two or three people being shot in a fight.

01:10:57.940 We saw people get gangs, bring guns to school, you know, like there, but it wasn't as much, you know, it wasn't 20 or 30 people dying, but people were shot at school all the time back in the 90s.

01:11:07.280 It just wasn't noticed as much, and I find it hard to believe that a mom in the 90s who loses their kid because one person was shot at their school feels any, you know, better about it than someone today who loses their kid in a mass shooting.

01:11:22.360 But what this also means is more schools go without any shootings at all.

01:11:29.240 Far more schools, when you look at the percentage of schools, go without mass shootings because when we do see a shooting, it's usually one of these larger spectacle type shootings, people looking for attention.

01:11:40.680 And look, that's a whole other problem that's really difficult to solve.

01:11:43.340 But the bottom line is when you send your kids to school in today's era, they are much more likely to survive and not be shot.

01:11:50.220 And they've taken a lot of precautions to the schools.

01:11:52.860 They're usually locked.

01:11:54.860 It's usually much, much harder to get in.

01:11:57.380 Yeah, that wasn't the case back in the day.

01:11:58.640 It used to be you just walked into a school and you went to the principal's office if you needed, you know, to give a note to your child or bring them something that they needed, medication or whatever.

01:12:07.920 And you were not stopped or asked or frisked or...

01:12:12.080 No security guards.

01:12:12.980 No security at all.

01:12:14.180 Yeah.

01:12:14.580 It's a much different situation now.

01:12:16.220 If there was a fight that broke out in a school, like, you know, the gym teachers coming down the hallway to help break it up.

01:12:21.040 Like, that's how that...

01:12:21.800 Yeah.

01:12:22.200 That's how it worked.

01:12:22.820 That's not how it works now.

01:12:24.080 No.

01:12:24.360 So it is, you know, in some ways it's so much better.

01:12:26.860 And the sleepover thing, I think, is part of this.

01:12:28.360 Like, we hear these bigs, you know, these terrible stories and they do happen.

01:12:34.200 But, you know, generally speaking, these rates are a lot lower than they used to be.

01:12:37.900 And that's positive.

01:12:39.420 Yeah.

01:12:39.920 We don't need to bubble wrap our kids as much as we do.

01:12:42.260 But one of the concerns, apparently, in addition to the abuse, if you don't know the parents really well, and do you really know anybody well enough to trust your kids to be there overnight?

01:12:53.720 I don't know.

01:12:54.580 I don't know because you just never know.

01:12:57.680 See, it's so funny.

01:12:58.720 We just talked about this.

01:13:00.180 I know.

01:13:00.580 And it's not logical.

01:13:02.380 It's not.

01:13:03.100 It's not logical.

01:13:04.200 It's not.

01:13:04.520 But here's how illogical I am.

01:13:06.240 My daughter, my youngest daughter, was 16.

01:13:10.140 So this was a few years ago because she's 22 now.

01:13:13.100 But when she was 16, she wanted to walk down.

01:13:17.060 My wife wasn't home.

01:13:18.640 And so she came to me and said, I'm going to go down to the pond.

01:13:22.720 We've got a pond like half a block from the house.

01:13:26.060 She just wanted to go down there and hang out.

01:13:28.200 I don't know, throw rocks or whatever she was going to do at the pond. 1.00

01:13:31.860 I'm like, no, no, no, no.

01:13:34.020 Wait, 16?

01:13:35.240 She couldn't go to the pond half a block away?

01:13:37.340 Half a block away.

01:13:38.740 No, I don't want you at the pond because who knows?

01:13:42.160 Yeah.

01:13:42.360 So I'm illogical that way.

01:13:44.460 I am too.

01:13:45.100 I'm not sure why because logically I do know that the crime rate is much lower.

01:13:51.560 And, you know, what are the chances of being kidnapped or whatever at 16?

01:13:55.440 Very low.

01:13:55.680 It's low.

01:13:56.360 Very low.

01:13:56.980 Really, really low.

01:13:57.760 I think part of this is, I know this is, I can only speak for myself here.

01:14:03.080 Part of it is like I just don't want to be the one who approves the thing that goes wrong.

01:14:08.480 Like it's almost selfish in a way.

01:14:10.960 Like I know I would beat myself up till the end of time if I was like, yeah, sure, go

01:14:15.260 down to the pond and then God forbid something terrible happens.

01:14:18.360 And so you just decide like, no, just eliminate every bit of risk from their lives.

01:14:22.880 That's not how to build, you know, a healthy adult, right?

01:14:27.280 I think we're seeing the effects of that.

01:14:29.500 And so I do try, you know, when I realize this instinct to myself, I try to cure it in

01:14:34.340 real time.

01:14:34.920 My kids do sleepovers.

01:14:36.640 They do?

01:14:37.000 Yeah, they do.

01:14:37.600 We haven't stopped that.

01:14:38.340 Although I have seen, noticed there is some hesitance among parents now, you know, I'm

01:14:44.180 not in the parents groups as much as my wife, but occasionally she tells, talks to me about

01:14:48.060 this, that she's talking to one of her friends and, you know, they don't, they don't really

01:14:51.060 like to do sleepovers with their kids.

01:14:52.920 And again, you know, these are people that, they're our friends and, you know, a lot of

01:14:56.880 times that they know, and I would think trust, but there is a, there's a hesitance.

01:15:04.720 And I just, I think we just kind of jumped to the worst case scenario a lot.

01:15:09.020 Yeah, we do.

01:15:09.560 And according to this article, it's pretty prevalent now where parents say no to sleepovers

01:15:14.760 like this.

01:15:15.360 Yeah.

01:15:15.560 They're worried about, you know, not, not only are they worried about crime, but they're

01:15:19.480 worried about whether or not the people have guns in their home and whether they're

01:15:23.280 locked away safe or whatever.

01:15:24.720 So there's a gun fear.

01:15:26.320 Ah, so like, so I'm a, let's say I'm a liberal and my kid wants to sleep over at Pat Gray's

01:15:31.460 house.

01:15:31.760 Pat Gray is probably a gun.

01:15:32.940 I got guns.

01:15:33.540 Yeah.

01:15:33.620 He's got them all over the place.

01:15:34.640 They're probably laying all over the counter.

01:15:37.260 Oh yes.

01:15:38.520 I leave them out on the kitchen counter.

01:15:39.920 Yeah.

01:15:40.240 Like you're, you know.

01:15:40.760 There are 15s out there and a couple of nine millimeters.

01:15:43.340 Right.

01:15:43.520 They're just hanging out.

01:15:44.020 Like, you know, if you go to like the dog toy basket, there's just an AR-15 in there and

01:15:48.380 I don't want my kid in that environment.

01:15:49.720 That's kind of the stuff you're talking about?

01:15:51.060 Yes.

01:15:51.380 Okay.

01:15:51.820 Yeah.

01:15:52.340 So.

01:15:52.660 What else?

01:15:53.200 Is there any other concerns?

01:15:54.580 COVID exposure.

01:15:55.880 Okay.

01:15:56.200 All right.

01:15:56.560 So like I'm a, I'm a COVID zero guy.

01:15:59.500 I'm wearing a mask.

01:16:00.500 I'm wearing three masks to the gym.

01:16:02.820 Right.

01:16:03.260 You know, and then I'm coming home and I don't want my, my kid because you as a, as a evil

01:16:07.700 conservative are probably just.

01:16:09.040 Well, not only do I have guns, I've got the COVID virus that's just in Petri dishes all

01:16:13.980 over the house.

01:16:14.960 All over the house.

01:16:15.680 And you, you add it as like a seasoning on each meal.

01:16:18.780 Yes.

01:16:19.040 You're just, instead of salt, you're sprinkling on COVID.

01:16:22.300 Yeah.

01:16:22.860 Also, is there, are there alcohol or drugs in the home?

01:16:26.320 Okay.

01:16:26.820 Cause I mean, that's true.

01:16:27.660 Like I, there's a, some people have alcohol in their house.

01:16:30.840 Some people have it and make sure that it's protected from their kids and others.

01:16:35.280 So like might just have a open liquor cabinet that might, yeah.

01:16:38.580 I mean, I remember this back in the day, there were kids that their parents, you know, would

01:16:42.240 drink, you know, drank alcohol and they would, uh, they would, they'd had their ways of drinking

01:16:47.040 some while the parents were at work and like filling the bottle back up with water and

01:16:50.480 like trying to cover it.

01:16:51.740 And then like that stuff happened.

01:16:52.900 That was, that was a real thing.

01:16:54.500 Yep.

01:16:55.700 Uh, what about older siblings?

01:16:58.320 Is that a consideration?

01:17:00.300 Do they have older siblings where something could happen?

01:17:02.520 Yeah, I get it.

01:17:02.940 Yeah.

01:17:03.040 Right.

01:17:03.340 Okay.

01:17:03.680 I can see that.

01:17:04.400 Right.

01:17:05.160 Oh my God.

01:17:05.580 I'm never letting my kids sleep over anywhere.

01:17:07.100 Why are you scaring me like this?

01:17:08.580 No, I know.

01:17:09.780 Again, I think there's appropriate, you have, you do have to think about these things as

01:17:13.380 a parent.

01:17:13.740 I mean, I think that one of the big things is, do you trust that other parent?

01:17:17.360 Is the parent going to be home?

01:17:19.060 Can they keep you safe?

01:17:19.960 Are they going to make sure things don't go awry?

01:17:22.840 Right.

01:17:23.240 In the middle of the night, you know, or, you know, you want your kids sneaking out and

01:17:26.440 vandalizing the neighborhood, right?

01:17:28.680 Uh, you know, that you want to make sure that they actually stay in the house, you know, maybe,

01:17:32.700 especially when they're younger, that they actually go to bed at a decent hour.

01:17:36.020 Like, you know, we've had, you know, we've had our kids sleep over their friends' houses

01:17:39.440 a couple of times and they come back and like, you stayed up till like 2 a.m. now, didn't

01:17:43.280 you?

01:17:43.420 I can tell because you're a different person today and you look like you went on a bender

01:17:47.700 for six weeks.

01:17:49.000 So I, you know, you got to get that sense of not every parent has the same standards

01:17:53.480 as you.

01:17:54.760 Like, you know, my kid, you know, they're going to go to bed basically at the same time

01:17:57.600 every night.

01:17:58.060 It's not going to be too late.

01:17:59.000 And speaking of that, some, some parents apparently, uh, have come to a compromise where you can

01:18:05.240 stay there till, you know, late, like 10 or 11 midnight and then go pick them up and go

01:18:09.920 get them.

01:18:10.580 Yeah.

01:18:10.940 That's a, like a, they call that a half over a half over or a late over a live stupid.

01:18:19.180 You're a weird group of people.

01:18:22.220 It's just, it's amazing.

01:18:23.720 So, uh, but I, I just find it interesting because apparently a lot of people have just

01:18:30.720 decided it's not worth it.

01:18:32.340 And so they just say, no, just because they don't, they won't, they don't want to mess

01:18:36.320 with any of the risk.

01:18:37.880 Um, who knows what could happen?

01:18:39.660 Maybe nothing, but I'm not going to take the chance, which kind of makes sense to me,

01:18:43.620 you know, being a, uh, probably, um, over sensitive parent to those kinds of things as I am.

01:18:50.120 So, uh, 888-933-93, um, no, 727-BECK, 888-727-BECK, more coming up.

01:20:13.760 Glenn Beck.

01:20:14.780 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:20:36.060 You found a statistic on the school shootings.

01:20:38.640 Yeah, I mentioned this, that it was, you're more likely to die in the 90s.

01:20:41.360 And so I wanted to dig up in the break the actual statistic because it is literally one

01:20:46.980 of the most mind-blowing things that I've ever looked at in this data.

01:20:51.980 And the reason I looked at it is because, you know, of course, we are in the middle of

01:20:54.920 this gun debate all the time.

01:20:56.060 Every time there's a school shooting, it's, we need to take away all guns.

01:20:59.440 So I wanted to look at, what does this actually look like?

01:21:01.880 You know, what are the facts?

01:21:03.860 So here are the facts.

01:21:04.920 I got it.

01:21:05.660 I did get it a little bit wrong.

01:21:06.820 I should confess.

01:21:08.660 This is a stat.

01:21:09.560 This is as of 2018, just so you know.

01:21:11.680 So it doesn't reflect the, you know, the recent shootings or the recent, you know, rise in

01:21:16.720 violence that we've had particularly since COVID.

01:21:19.060 But it doesn't, it would, it would minimize these numbers a little bit, but it's, you know,

01:21:23.360 still largely true.

01:21:24.580 Someone who went to school in the 1990s was four times as likely to die in a school shooting

01:21:33.000 than a student is today as of 2018.

01:21:36.700 That's, that is surprising.

01:21:38.820 It's surprising.

01:21:39.420 Jaw-dropping.

01:21:40.280 Because, I mean, even, even someone like, people like us who really believe in the Second

01:21:45.100 Amendment, really don't believe in the media coverage of the Second Amendment, who are,

01:21:50.580 you know, follow this stuff closely every day, even I would have never imagined that

01:21:56.100 was accurate.

01:21:57.060 But it is, or at least it was as of 2018.

01:22:00.420 That's...

01:22:00.740 It'd still be multiple times.

01:22:02.160 Yeah, it'd be three times, maybe.

01:22:03.520 I don't know.

01:22:03.840 I'm just throwing it out there.

01:22:05.060 I don't know exactly.

01:22:05.840 But the bottom line was, you know, when overall crime rates are higher, these things happen

01:22:11.000 and they just don't make a dent in the news, especially when they're not designed for

01:22:15.300 spectacle.

01:22:16.160 And that's the biggest problem, I think, with mass shootings that we have not figured out

01:22:18.920 how to cure.

01:22:19.440 It's got nothing to do with the guns.

01:22:20.780 It's not even a security issue or, you know, in some ways, it's not even a mental health

01:22:25.220 issue.

01:22:26.180 It's a spectacle issue.

01:22:27.640 People are trying to get this attention.

01:22:29.680 And if you don't, if you don't cure that, you'll never stop the mass shooting thing.

01:22:33.360 But, I mean, to think that, like, we are, I was in real danger back in the day, Pat.

01:22:37.140 I mean, I feel like I was dodging bullets all the time now.

01:22:40.900 I don't remember any of those shootings, but I'm sure they occurred.

01:22:44.140 Had to have.

01:22:44.820 Had to have.

01:22:45.300 All right.

01:22:47.460 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

01:22:50.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:51.300 Got no room to compromise.

01:23:13.140 We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of life.

01:23:19.520 Oh, oh, oh.

01:23:21.580 Stand up straight and hold the line.

01:23:26.980 It's a new day of time to rise.

01:23:30.980 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:38.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:46.820 We got some good news to share with you.

01:23:49.400 Can't wait to share it.

01:23:50.660 It's about the economy.

01:23:53.320 Also, some great news from Minnesota as they're proposing feminine hygiene products in the men's, in the boys' room.

01:24:03.060 Oh, finally.

01:24:03.760 So, finally, somebody said it.

01:24:05.640 It's so, every time you have to go to the other, to the girls' room to get one, it's just such a pain.

01:24:10.000 I know.

01:24:11.020 Why is it in the men's room?

01:24:12.640 How often did you have to do that in high school?

01:24:15.080 Constantly.

01:24:15.160 Like, all the time, right?

01:24:17.380 40, 50 times a day, I think.

01:24:18.800 It's so irritating.

01:24:19.700 I'm not a biologist, so I don't know for sure.

01:24:21.560 That and more coming up in a minute.

01:24:25.920 So, life is busy.

01:24:27.280 Something like switching from one mobile carrier to another sounds like a hassle, and it can be.

01:24:31.380 But if you're not thrilled with your cell phone bill every month, you know, you may be even less thrilled to learn that the money you're sending to these companies is being donated to leftist causes.

01:24:43.220 Patriot Mobile is now offering service with all three major networks, which means, you know, if you're with the big three and you like their service,

01:25:10.600 No one needs the extra hassle.

01:25:32.540 Uh, wow.

01:25:37.180 Uh, it looks like Alec Baldwin.

01:25:39.620 This is a surprise to me.

01:25:41.640 I, he has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

01:25:45.880 Hmm.

01:25:46.680 Wow.

01:25:48.520 Uh, didn't expect that.

01:25:50.220 I, I thought he'd just.

01:25:51.500 Just skate, because he's Alec Baldwin.

01:25:53.040 Yes.

01:25:53.460 I could see that.

01:25:54.080 That probably would have, that was leading the board in Vegas. 0.95

01:25:57.680 On the, on what was going to happen.

01:25:59.460 Yeah.

01:25:59.800 I would say that.

01:26:00.560 Had to be.

01:26:01.020 Yeah.

01:26:01.400 Had to be.

01:26:01.840 The most likely option that he would just get no punch.

01:26:03.820 And he accepts no responsibility for it, because he didn't, he wasn't aiming the gun,

01:26:07.660 and he didn't shoot the gun.

01:26:10.160 Well, he did do both of those things.

01:26:11.580 Yeah.

01:26:12.320 Somehow, both of those things happened with the gun in his hand.

01:26:15.920 Right.

01:26:16.320 So, it's kind of strange.

01:26:17.600 And I think he has a legitimate defense if, you know, he didn't load it, and he was told

01:26:22.560 it was a blank, and, you know.

01:26:24.500 Yeah.

01:26:24.720 All those things, I think he can't be, he can't be held responsible for not, you know,

01:26:30.920 knowing that there was a, you know, a real bullet in there for some reason.

01:26:34.080 I mean, that's, that's something that should be taken out of his hands as an actor.

01:26:37.300 Yeah.

01:26:37.580 So, I think both he and the armorer, the person who put the bullet in there, are being charged,

01:26:43.240 are facing the involuntary manslaughter charge.

01:26:45.960 Wow.

01:26:46.820 So.

01:26:47.020 That's it, yeah.

01:26:47.520 That's amazing.

01:26:48.440 That's big.

01:26:48.740 All the stuff he's done.

01:26:49.960 Yeah, that's really something.

01:26:51.080 And he's had, he's had a bunch of bumps with the police over the years.

01:26:54.040 Mm-hmm.

01:26:54.480 Good old Alec.

01:26:55.460 But, I mean, for the, these poor people who were killed, I mean, geez.

01:26:59.380 Yeah.

01:26:59.660 You know, there should be some justice there.

01:27:02.800 Yeah.

01:27:03.280 Somebody should pay a price because, you know, it cost a woman her life. 0.98

01:27:08.560 It really did.

01:27:09.280 Yeah.

01:27:09.480 And so, yeah, that's happening now.

01:27:11.940 Now, what's the punishment for something like that?

01:27:13.420 It's probably not that, that dramatic, right?

01:27:16.060 Is it jail time even?

01:27:18.020 Involuntary manslaughter?

01:27:19.340 Involuntary?

01:27:19.800 I think they make you stop doing really bad movies.

01:27:22.580 Oh, my gosh.

01:27:23.120 I think that's worse than prison time for him.

01:27:25.220 For him.

01:27:25.420 That's all he wants.

01:27:26.280 That's, yeah.

01:27:26.880 That's all he does.

01:27:27.580 He wants to stop doing really crappy, he wants to keep doing really crappy movies.

01:27:30.900 And you're going to stop that?

01:27:31.620 Yeah, and he can't.

01:27:32.140 He can't.

01:27:32.580 When's the last movie, what's the last Alec Baldwin movie that you saw or slash liked?

01:27:38.420 Let me think.

01:27:42.260 I'm going to say he was in, he was in one of the Mission Impossible movies with Tom Cruise.

01:27:48.720 Okay.

01:27:49.380 And he was pretty good in that.

01:27:50.780 I liked him in that.

01:27:51.400 I mean, he is a, I do think he's actually a pretty good actor.

01:27:54.260 Yeah, he's not bad.

01:27:55.400 But, yeah, it's been a while.

01:27:57.140 But they're not, there's not a lot of great, you know, I never hear, hey, are you going

01:28:01.840 to that new Alec Baldwin movie?

01:28:03.480 Right.

01:28:03.600 I don't think those words have ever been spoken by anybody I know.

01:28:07.920 So.

01:28:08.220 So, Mission Impossible Fallout is the one you're talking about, I think.

01:28:11.000 I think so.

01:28:12.500 Yeah.

01:28:13.300 Okay.

01:28:13.580 And, you know.

01:28:13.940 So, four years, five years ago now?

01:28:15.520 Yeah.

01:28:16.180 Wow.

01:28:16.960 So, it's been a while.

01:28:18.160 Been a while.

01:28:18.760 Since then, there hasn't really, I wouldn't say there's been anything notable, per se.

01:28:24.460 Are you looking at the IDB, IMDB?

01:28:26.600 IMDB, yeah.

01:28:27.220 I mean, there was a DeLorean movie, which actually sounds interesting.

01:28:30.560 I wouldn't mind seeing a movie about the DeLorean.

01:28:31.720 Oh, okay.

01:28:32.360 I saw that.

01:28:33.160 Framing John DeLorean.

01:28:33.880 I saw that.

01:28:34.440 Any good?

01:28:34.720 It's kind of a documentary slash acting thing, because he plays John DeLorean in it, but

01:28:43.640 it's also part documentary.

01:28:46.000 So, it's like he's doing a reenactment.

01:28:47.460 Yeah.

01:28:48.060 See, I can't like that.

01:28:48.940 Yeah, weird.

01:28:49.580 Not necessarily the peak of a.

01:28:50.980 It's kind of a weirdly done thing.

01:28:52.200 Yeah.

01:28:52.460 The Boss Baby, he's the voice of Boss Baby, which is, again, voice stuff.

01:28:56.800 I saw some of that because I have kids.

01:28:58.440 Oh, right.

01:28:59.400 Going back, though, it's been a while.

01:29:02.120 Did you love the Boss Baby thing?

01:29:03.600 You know, it was, as those movies go.

01:29:08.180 It was okay?

01:29:08.940 Really?

01:29:09.520 It was all right, I guess.

01:29:10.380 I don't know.

01:29:11.040 I don't remember it exactly.

01:29:12.460 Oh, he was also in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation.

01:29:14.820 Yeah, that's the one I saw.

01:29:15.720 He was in Concussion, the anti-NFL movie.

01:29:19.020 That's 2015, but we're getting back here now.

01:29:21.680 That was a pretty good movie.

01:29:22.640 Have you seen it?

01:29:23.480 I think I did see it at the time.

01:29:25.040 Yeah.

01:29:26.020 That was not bad.

01:29:26.980 Yeah.

01:29:27.320 I mean, they're going after the NFL, but.

01:29:29.280 And I feel like there's a little bit of that stuff that's like, oh, we have a perfect

01:29:33.040 understanding of this thing now.

01:29:34.740 Let's blame all the people who may have gotten some things wrong before.

01:29:37.600 Exactly.

01:29:37.800 Like, there's a lot of that going on in that concussion story.

01:29:40.940 Yeah, there is.

01:29:41.320 We're like, you know, one of the big, what makes it a great movie, right?

01:29:45.220 This doctor, wasn't he a Nigerian doctor?

01:29:47.540 Mm-hmm.

01:29:47.740 Out of nowhere.

01:29:48.820 Mm-hmm.

01:29:48.980 No one knows who he is.

01:29:50.320 He discovers this thing.

01:29:51.960 He tries to get attention and everyone blows him off.

01:29:54.280 Well, that's because he was a Nigerian doctor out of nowhere that no one knew.

01:29:57.260 That's why that happened.

01:29:58.280 Now, that doesn't mean it's right.

01:29:59.360 But they act like it was an evil thing.

01:30:01.200 Right.

01:30:01.540 And it was evilly done.

01:30:02.820 Yeah.

01:30:03.240 By the NFL.

01:30:04.220 Like, if I remember the, and it's been a while since we did the concussion stuff, but

01:30:07.940 like, the year that the NFL, the year that Boston's, the Boston University Hospital was

01:30:14.500 very, I think it was BU, it was one of those hospitals that really kind of was the leader

01:30:19.460 in saying, hey, you know, a bunch of collisions in sports like this is going to, could lead

01:30:23.600 to CTE, that, the year they discovered that, I don't remember which year it was, the next

01:30:30.240 year was the first year the NFL put in restrictions.

01:30:34.000 Like, they immediately, the next season acted on that and started changing things.

01:30:37.900 And like, you know, maybe it didn't happen as fast as possible, but like, I don't know

01:30:41.520 if it took the university hospital that long to recognize it.

01:30:46.900 Like, are we supposed to say, like, the NFL has a bunch of employees, very highly credentialed

01:30:51.780 doctors who said this wasn't the case.

01:30:54.660 And like, of course they believe the people that they hired, what, they should have hired

01:30:58.780 the Nigerian doctor if they believed him.

01:31:00.800 They looked at the other, and people were like, oh, well, it was all about money.

01:31:04.540 And like, I'm sure, of course, like, that stuff leaks into these decisions at times.

01:31:10.040 But like, we just love to do this.

01:31:12.820 Everyone loves it.

01:31:13.320 They did this with Ronald Reagan back in the, with AIDS.

01:31:16.040 It's, you know, HIV, you know, starts coming out, AIDS starts coming out, people start

01:31:20.100 freaking out about it.

01:31:21.080 And everyone's like, well, Ronald Reagan didn't even say the word AIDS until 1986.

01:31:28.520 Like, they say this stuff all the time.

01:31:30.380 And you go back, first of all, it wasn't even true.

01:31:32.100 He had said it, but.

01:31:32.820 It was not true.

01:31:33.720 And he funded, he funded research.

01:31:36.020 He was the first president, the first year after it was, it was, it was named by the medical

01:31:41.920 authorities.

01:31:42.680 He funded research.

01:31:44.220 He was the first president to fund research.

01:31:46.040 He raised it by like about an average of 80% every year he was in office.

01:31:51.380 Yeah.

01:31:51.920 Okay.

01:31:52.820 Yep.

01:31:53.040 And, and, and you'll go back and you look at this and it's like, people say he never,

01:31:57.980 he never spoke about AIDS until whatever it was, 1986, whatever the year was.

01:32:03.520 And it's funny because, you know, what happened in 1984, Pat?

01:32:08.240 People might remember.

01:32:09.240 Oh, BYU won the national championship?

01:32:11.400 Is that what you're referring to?

01:32:13.360 Definitely not what I was referring to.

01:32:14.740 Really?

01:32:15.080 The BYU national championship.

01:32:16.400 Okay.

01:32:16.680 No, that was not.

01:32:17.540 I thought that.

01:32:18.160 It was very memorable, but no.

01:32:19.540 I thought it was, as soon as you said 1984, most people thought BYU national championship

01:32:25.160 in football.

01:32:25.760 I mean, a disproportionate amount of people in this audience did say that, but yeah, no,

01:32:30.480 that's not what everyone said.

01:32:31.440 Um, the, what, what they might think of is the 1984 presidential election.

01:32:35.700 And what happens in a presidential election?

01:32:37.720 First of all, the president goes all over the place and answers tons of questions from

01:32:42.040 reporters and then does a bunch of debates.

01:32:44.240 Guess what?

01:32:44.680 None of the reporters or debates, none of the questions were about AIDS.

01:32:48.980 Not one question.

01:32:50.440 The entire presidential campaign in 1984 were about this topic.

01:32:54.460 We're, I'm sorry.

01:32:55.700 We're all of the reporters also anti-gay.

01:32:58.600 Why didn't they care at all about this topic?

01:33:01.120 They didn't ask him about it once.

01:33:03.280 Right.

01:33:03.980 So, I mean, again, it's just idiotic to, to, to, to apply this retroactive sort of justice

01:33:09.940 to people who were dealing with things at a time they didn't know, have all the information

01:33:14.660 we have now.

01:33:15.500 I think the first awareness I ever had of it was what, 81, 82 in there somewhere.

01:33:21.120 I mean, we didn't know that much about it in 84.

01:33:24.320 We, we didn't know a lot of things about it.

01:33:27.760 And there was all kinds of sketchy information about how you get it and how you pass it on

01:33:33.280 and how.

01:33:33.780 People didn't know.

01:33:34.580 People didn't know.

01:33:35.180 They were in an era of uncertainty.

01:33:36.660 They didn't have all the information we have now.

01:33:38.920 So to judge them by those standards is ridiculous.

01:33:41.400 The knowledge was ramping up.

01:33:43.220 And by the way, he did a lot.

01:33:44.240 I mean, Reagan did a lot to stop this problem. 1.00

01:33:46.340 Yeah.

01:33:46.520 And he did, he did.

01:33:47.380 And he was the person who started it.

01:33:49.440 He started the fight against AIDS when it comes to government funding.

01:33:52.380 Sure did.

01:33:52.840 And, and usually the left, the only thing they care about is government funding.

01:33:55.560 They don't care about the private efforts to do anything about it.

01:33:57.740 They only care about government funding.

01:33:59.060 And, you know, this was, the research into this was, was highly funded, especially for

01:34:02.960 that era, especially from a guy who specifically was trying to shrink government.

01:34:08.080 Right.

01:34:08.600 He expanded it in that area.

01:34:10.220 That's how much he cared about it.

01:34:12.280 And, you know, it was not on the top of the mind of most Americans at that time.

01:34:16.000 And you could say that that's wrong, but it was not just a Reagan problem by any means.

01:34:19.980 If anything, Reagan did more to do, to help it than anybody else at that time.

01:34:25.420 So again, this stuff just seems to happen over and over again.

01:34:29.400 And, and that was all from trying to figure out a movie that we saw from Alec Baldwin that

01:34:34.220 we liked.

01:34:35.940 I go back to, uh, well, gosh, I mean, I'm, I'm trying to find, I mean, he was in the

01:34:42.120 aviator 2004.

01:34:44.280 The aviator.

01:34:45.520 Okay.

01:34:46.020 Yeah.

01:34:46.280 That was a good movie.

01:34:47.100 That was a good movie.

01:34:47.940 I liked it.

01:34:48.840 I mean, I'm one of my favorite movies of all time is the Royal Tenenbaums.

01:34:52.320 And that was 2001.

01:34:53.620 So we're going way back to find a long time.

01:34:55.620 I think a lot of his, you know, one of his is, is good times.

01:34:59.760 It's been a while.

01:35:01.020 Been a while.

01:35:01.960 So anyway, poor, uh, Alec Baldwin, uh, maybe, maybe getting in trouble a little bit.

01:35:06.540 Charged slightly.

01:35:07.300 With two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

01:35:09.520 Still pretty surprising.

01:35:10.980 Wow.

01:35:11.380 Why are you going to this bad news when we have all this good news?

01:35:13.720 I know.

01:35:14.040 About setting new records.

01:35:15.240 Really, really good news.

01:35:16.600 I'm, I'm incredibly excited about this.

01:35:18.500 I hope you are as well.

01:35:20.180 We have, get ready for it, America, because you've been, you have, especially if you have

01:35:25.700 some, some liberal friends, you know, people who are responsible for this and you should

01:35:30.480 give them all the credit for this today.

01:35:32.340 Make sure you find one of your liberal friends today and give them a hug and say, congratulations

01:35:36.340 and thank you.

01:35:38.040 Why?

01:35:39.140 We have officially hit the debt ceiling.

01:35:42.320 Yeah.

01:35:43.320 31 plus trillion dollars.

01:35:46.220 We've done it, America.

01:35:47.660 Yes.

01:35:48.320 31.4 trillion, I believe.

01:35:49.820 Yes.

01:35:50.580 Yeah.

01:35:50.940 31.4 trillion dollars.

01:35:52.720 Very exciting.

01:35:53.460 Now, that doesn't mean, of course, we do anything.

01:35:55.820 We don't stop spending or cut spending or in any more.

01:35:59.900 No, that would be crazy.

01:36:00.960 Fiscally responsible.

01:36:01.860 I mean, don't even engage in crazy talk.

01:36:04.440 As Nancy Pelosi said, there's no crumbs left.

01:36:06.660 There's nothing left in the cupboard.

01:36:07.840 There's nothing to cut.

01:36:09.060 Right.

01:36:09.420 There's nothing in this government to cut, Pat.

01:36:12.120 So we are not going to do that.

01:36:13.280 What we're going to do is shift money around for the next few months and try to avoid catastrophe.

01:36:17.360 That's what we're going to do.

01:36:18.480 All right.

01:36:18.760 Good.

01:36:19.260 And, you know, it's funny, Pat.

01:36:20.660 I love it.

01:36:21.640 What is the...

01:36:22.480 I'm really...

01:36:23.460 I'm fascinated by the media coverage of this particular thing because what they say is

01:36:28.600 Republicans are trying to use this as some sort of negotiating tool.

01:36:34.300 And McCarthy's out there saying, look, we're ready now to negotiate this.

01:36:37.820 Like, let's not wait until catastrophe is right around the corner.

01:36:41.060 We don't want that.

01:36:41.740 We want to do it right now.

01:36:42.520 And Republicans are saying that, like, hey, like, let's deal with this right now together

01:36:46.500 so we don't have to push us to the economic limit.

01:36:50.200 And when we get close to that economic limit, because, of course, the Democrats are outwardly

01:36:54.200 saying, we will not negotiate with you on this.

01:36:57.100 No.

01:36:57.940 We're not going to talk to you about it.

01:36:59.220 We're just going to wait.

01:37:01.380 When we get close, the media will all blame Republicans.

01:37:06.240 Mark my words, this will occur.

01:37:08.320 They will all say, this is usually in the past.

01:37:13.920 Republicans and Democrats just passed this.

01:37:15.660 It was a bipartisan thing.

01:37:16.660 They didn't even...

01:37:17.320 They didn't have any cuts.

01:37:18.500 They didn't...

01:37:19.220 This was not supposed to be a political football.

01:37:21.820 They just came out and they passed it.

01:37:23.480 And that's the way it's supposed to be.

01:37:24.800 The whole point of the debt ceiling is that this does not occur.

01:37:29.620 There's no point in having a debt ceiling in reality, right?

01:37:32.800 The debt ceiling is...

01:37:34.680 There's no reason to have one in a basic, pragmatic sense.

01:37:39.600 You just keep borrowing money until people will stop borrowing money.

01:37:42.360 The debt ceiling is in lieu of a budget.

01:37:44.880 Right.

01:37:45.440 And it's part of that, right?

01:37:46.900 Like, when we say, the debt ceiling was put in so that we wouldn't just constantly overrun

01:37:51.520 every number, we'd have to stop and think about it.

01:37:55.120 It was put in there to intentionally make it difficult to raise this limit so that you'd

01:38:00.700 have to act and try to change things when you wanted to raise it.

01:38:05.140 If you're constantly passing the debt limit, you have to constantly keep addressing these

01:38:09.340 issues.

01:38:09.800 And hopefully, it will scare the people a little bit in Washington to do something about it.

01:38:14.600 It's the whole point of it.

01:38:15.820 There's no reason to have a debt ceiling.

01:38:17.880 You know, other countries don't have debt ceilings.

01:38:19.720 The point was, this was a conservative wall put up to say, hey, guys, if you're going

01:38:27.160 up to this wall, something's wrong.

01:38:28.820 You need to change something.

01:38:30.200 And if you're all going to agree that you can't do it this time, okay, but you're going

01:38:34.460 to have to at least vote to raise it.

01:38:36.840 And so, that has happened many times.

01:38:38.920 But it also has occurred where conservatives mainly have said, hey, this is wrong.

01:38:43.100 We can't keep doing this.

01:38:44.440 And let's cut spending.

01:38:46.380 Let's find some things to cut, to change, so that we don't hit the next debt ceiling

01:38:51.920 in another six months.

01:38:53.960 That's sensible.

01:38:54.800 It's what you're supposed to do when the debt ceiling comes up.

01:38:56.740 You don't wait till the last minute.

01:38:58.000 It's the Democrats that are waiting.

01:38:59.720 Republicans are ready to do this.

01:39:01.900 You know, you can blame Republicans for a lot of things, and I do.

01:39:04.540 But this is Democrats.

01:39:06.600 This is what they're doing, and this is entirely their fault.

01:39:09.260 And if we do get close to this real catastrophe where we can't pay our debts, it will be their

01:39:14.060 fault.

01:39:14.800 Mm-hmm.

01:39:15.840 Absolutely.

01:39:16.740 888-727-BECK.

01:39:18.920 More coming up.

01:39:19.780 One minute.

01:39:21.400 Dealing with aches and pains in your everyday life can be exhausting.

01:39:25.400 Do you ever find yourself thinking about all the things you used to be able to do, almost

01:39:29.100 on autopilot, that you can't do anymore because you're dealing with pain?

01:39:32.680 Little things like, you know, taking the stairs, getting down on the floor, wrestling around

01:39:37.320 with the kids or the grandkids.

01:39:39.640 Monumental tasks when you're hurting used to be easy.

01:39:42.300 Well, there's a solution that could help you.

01:39:43.780 It's called Relief Factor.

01:39:45.200 It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and it has four key ingredients that

01:39:49.100 fight inflammation, which is the source of much of the pain that we deal with.

01:39:54.080 It could work for you.

01:39:55.320 They had a three-week quick start going on right now.

01:39:57.220 It's only 1995.

01:39:58.180 It's like a trial pack.

01:39:59.360 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them

01:40:02.640 go on to order more.

01:40:04.340 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF.

01:40:09.900 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.

01:40:12.200 Why not give it a shot?

01:40:13.100 If you've got pain, it's something to try.

01:40:15.720 Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four, RELIEF.

01:40:19.640 It's Relief Factor.

01:40:20.700 Feel the difference.

01:40:22.060 10-second station ID.

01:40:22.860 It was in Pearl Harbor.

01:40:34.740 What?

01:40:35.360 Alec.

01:40:35.760 Alec Baldwin.

01:40:36.660 Pearl Harbor.

01:40:37.220 Oh, I was going to say, he doesn't seem that old.

01:40:39.860 So he was...

01:40:41.040 Doolittle.

01:40:42.280 Remember that?

01:40:43.240 Not particularly well-received as a... 0.60

01:40:45.480 I liked it, though.

01:40:46.380 Some people did like it.

01:40:47.260 I mean, it definitely had some amazing scenes, I didn't remember.

01:40:50.060 He was in one of my favorite romantic comedies, Notting Hill.

01:40:55.920 Okay.

01:40:56.440 Okay.

01:40:56.940 Yeah.

01:40:57.200 We're going back, though.

01:40:59.280 But that was 1999.

01:41:01.480 Yeah, you're going way back for this stuff.

01:41:03.080 It's been a long time since he's been in just really good movies.

01:41:07.720 Yeah, so.

01:41:09.740 Mm-hmm.

01:41:10.860 And now...

01:41:11.780 Now.

01:41:12.360 He's not going to be in anything.

01:41:13.340 I mean, certainly...

01:41:14.800 Like, let's say you're...

01:41:16.140 Alec Baldwin is not a normal person.

01:41:17.760 Like, he's a weirdo, and kind of like a real head case, and has had all sorts of problems

01:41:22.060 over a million different things.

01:41:23.140 But can you imagine if this happened to you?

01:41:25.820 Let's say in the most innocent way.

01:41:27.500 You are in a movie, you have a gun, a shot, you know, a scene with guns, you think you're

01:41:33.380 pointing a gun at somebody for, you know, a rehearsal, or even in a scene, you pull the

01:41:38.300 trigger, and the person gets shot.

01:41:39.700 Can you imagine?

01:41:40.500 How would you live with yourself?

01:41:41.760 I can't.

01:41:42.120 I couldn't.

01:41:43.020 I mean, it's not your fault at all in this scenario.

01:41:45.460 I don't know if Alec Baldwin was at fault, but in this scenario, Painted is not your fault

01:41:49.220 at all.

01:41:49.780 It would be soul-crushing.

01:41:50.860 How would you go back to doing another movie with a gun in it?

01:41:53.360 Right?

01:41:53.520 It would be...

01:41:54.160 You'd be terrified.

01:41:55.220 It would be virtually impossible.

01:41:56.240 Virtually impossible.

01:41:56.820 And I think they finished that movie, didn't they?

01:41:59.160 Did they eventually go back and do it?

01:42:01.100 Because I think...

01:42:01.940 I think it's coming out.

01:42:03.900 Yeah.

01:42:04.220 I think Rust is going to happen.

01:42:06.340 So...

01:42:06.700 This is...

01:42:07.120 You know, this has happened throughout history.

01:42:09.040 We should maybe do this here in a couple of minutes.

01:42:11.520 There's this...

01:42:12.200 You know, this is one of these articles.

01:42:14.020 I think it was from, like, BuzzFeed or something.

01:42:15.240 But it was the 20 different behind-the-scenes moments that are incredibly creepy from movies

01:42:22.740 that actually happen in real life.

01:42:24.820 Some of them are insane.

01:42:26.660 And I didn't remember them.

01:42:28.400 Really weird things that happened on set.

01:42:31.100 Okay.

01:42:31.820 That...

01:42:32.260 Oh, actual things that happened during the filming of the movie.

01:42:35.980 And they're just either really strange or really sad or weird the way they handled it.

01:42:41.300 Some of the stuff I couldn't believe.

01:42:42.600 I mean, people dying on set and then them using it in promotional movie posters later

01:42:47.120 on for the movie.

01:42:48.260 Oh.

01:42:48.720 Like, the actual death.

01:42:51.200 You could not do that today.

01:42:52.700 No!

01:42:53.320 No way would you get away with that.

01:42:54.020 You should not do that.

01:42:54.900 No, that's a bad idea in every way possible.

01:42:58.180 But we should bring you some of these.

01:42:59.200 Some of these, I was like, I couldn't believe some of them.

01:43:03.080 And, you know, this is what happened.

01:43:04.780 I guess...

01:43:06.120 You know, you get through some of that.

01:43:07.340 The world has changed a lot.

01:43:08.340 It really has.

01:43:08.900 Sometimes...

01:43:09.340 Look, we do get on this kick a lot that the world has changed.

01:43:11.860 And a lot of times it feels like hell.

01:43:13.280 Some of the things are improvements.

01:43:15.340 Yeah.

01:43:15.640 There are some of them that are improvements.

01:43:18.240 And maybe not using an actual death of a person in a movie to promote a movie.

01:43:24.180 Is that...

01:43:24.540 Maybe that's a good thing.

01:43:25.420 It's one of them.

01:43:25.760 Like, imagine if they put Alec Baldwin on the cover of this movie and released it.

01:43:29.980 Like, as he's shooting, they use the real scene that he's really shooting.

01:43:34.040 Like, that was really happening back in the day.

01:43:36.280 Yeah.

01:43:36.920 Which, yeah.

01:43:37.800 I mean, think about that.

01:43:38.900 There's no way you get away with that in the year 2023.

01:43:44.320 All right.

01:43:45.360 Plus, we got to tell you about the innovation in Minnesota.

01:43:48.960 They're finally...

01:43:49.600 I mean, finally...

01:43:51.820 They're going to install menstrual products in boys' restrooms. 1.00

01:43:55.400 It's about time.

01:43:56.160 Yeah.

01:43:56.740 Finally.

01:43:57.240 You fought for these changes, America.

01:43:58.760 Oh, my gosh.

01:43:59.180 And now you have them.

01:44:00.020 For how long have you fought?

01:44:02.080 So long.

01:44:03.660 So that's a really good change as well that is coming to pass.

01:44:08.300 Another good change, the New Zealand Prime Minister announced she's going to step down for some reason.

01:44:14.000 Man, she was a tyrant. 1.00

01:44:16.020 I mean, during the pandemic, I'm not sure there was anybody worse on the planet than she was.

01:44:20.840 That and lots more coming up.

01:44:23.480 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:25.400 Okay, so I'm a guy who appreciates convenience as much as anybody.

01:44:31.400 And when it comes to feeding your dog, you know, I get that the kibble food is the easiest way.

01:44:35.040 It's often the cheapest way.

01:44:37.040 You don't want it to hassle.

01:44:38.040 But the dog is not getting the nutrition it needs out of this food.

01:44:41.720 Your dog is, you know, getting insufficient nutrients.

01:44:46.640 The factory bakes everything good out of the food when they're making this so it lasts on the shelf for years.

01:44:52.520 And, you know, you understand why.

01:44:53.660 But is that the right thing you want for your dog?

01:44:55.700 And you want your dog to have the best that they can possibly have.

01:45:00.140 You want them to have the nutrients that they need.

01:45:02.760 Rough Greens is here to help you with that.

01:45:04.500 It's not a dog food.

01:45:05.540 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog food.

01:45:11.120 And it's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

01:45:14.400 You name it.

01:45:14.980 If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

01:45:17.820 And most dogs love it.

01:45:19.060 We'll go crazy for it.

01:45:20.020 The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

01:45:23.340 They have a special deal for you.

01:45:25.100 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck.

01:45:27.400 They're going to give you the first trial bag free.

01:45:39.240 Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed.

01:45:40.760 Every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 Central.

01:45:43.580 Or anytime and anywhere you get your podcast.

01:45:50.020 We were talking about Alec Baldwin and the shooting that he was involved in.

01:46:01.060 He's being charged with involuntary manslaughter.

01:46:04.520 And we kind of got off on a tangent here of these movies in history that have these weird moments behind them.

01:46:10.440 And some of them are really, really strange and weird and disturbing.

01:46:16.080 You know, like we were talking off the air.

01:46:17.880 It was Bruce Lee after Bruce Lee died in the film.

01:46:21.980 He died after filming, you know, during the filming of Game of Death, which is the name of the movie.

01:46:30.400 But he died and they had his funeral and they actually used footage from his funeral in the movie.

01:46:35.640 So like his actual corpse was in the movie.

01:46:38.820 Oh, wow.

01:46:39.400 Which is kind of a weird, just a weird thing.

01:46:41.380 A little creepy.

01:46:41.940 A little creepy.

01:46:42.900 Didn't somebody hit him in the stomach or something as part of the test for that?

01:46:47.260 Or am I thinking of somebody else?

01:46:48.460 I'm not sure.

01:46:49.000 I'm not sure on that.

01:46:49.880 Yeah.

01:46:50.140 But we mentioned this one before, which is, I think, maybe one of the most unbelievable things I've ever read.

01:46:54.700 The film Kane, C-A-I-N-E.

01:46:57.040 That was the name of the movie.

01:46:58.500 They were doing a stunt.

01:46:59.760 It had something to do with sharks.

01:47:01.620 And they were doing a stunt scene with a shark.

01:47:05.140 I guess they prepared the shark to be docile.

01:47:07.860 So he would swim by this person.

01:47:09.320 It was an underwater scene.

01:47:10.680 It would be danger, but nothing would happen.

01:47:12.000 I didn't know you could train a shark.

01:47:13.520 That's interesting.

01:47:14.160 I guess like there's certain things you could do to like, almost like, they say they dragged it.

01:47:18.580 Let me read this to you because it's incredible.

01:47:20.400 So this, in the waters off of Mexico's, one of their islands, a movie company was shooting a sequence for a film called Shark using a docile bull shark that had previously been dragged onto a beach for a period to make it groggy.

01:47:33.500 I guess that's what they did at the time.

01:47:35.200 Okay.

01:47:35.360 However, suddenly a huge white shark appeared and went through a protective net and then it swam up to the camera lens as crewmen inside steel mesh cages grabbed for their spear guns.

01:47:50.300 And then the shark wound up killing the stuntman.

01:47:55.200 Then the movie company, instead of being like, oh my God, we can't release this movie.

01:48:00.240 They changed the name of the movie from Cain to shark with the tagline shark will rip you apart.

01:48:11.340 Then in the promotional materials, they included the actual pictures of the guy being eaten by the shark.

01:48:19.380 Oh man, that's hard to believe.

01:48:20.860 That is hard to believe.

01:48:21.900 To the point of like, you can see the blood in the pictures of this guy dying.

01:48:25.400 Oh man.

01:48:26.080 And they used it for the promotional pictures.

01:48:30.980 Incredible.

01:48:32.000 Kind of not cool.

01:48:33.020 Kind of not.

01:48:33.760 No.

01:48:34.060 Sort of disturbing.

01:48:35.440 There's some really weird 9-11 stuff too.

01:48:38.340 Some of it's just like, so do you remember the, remember the Dana Carvey movie Master of Disguise?

01:48:44.400 No.

01:48:45.300 Not do.

01:48:45.900 A lot of people don't either.

01:48:46.820 This is when Dana Carvey tried to leave SNL and kind of have a movie career. 1.00

01:48:50.580 This movie bombed famously.

01:48:53.040 Maybe this was part of the reason it wasn't all that funny though.

01:48:55.320 They were filming it and apparently were informed of the events of 9-11 during the turtle scene

01:49:02.600 where he looks like he's disguised as a turtle.

01:49:06.600 And so they're in the middle of filming this.

01:49:08.560 They hear about 9-11.

01:49:09.560 They have a moment of silence and then go back to the turtle scene.

01:49:13.020 Can you imagine?

01:49:14.400 You just hear about 9-11 going on.

01:49:15.800 You're like, all right.

01:49:16.460 All right.

01:49:16.780 Back to the turtle thing.

01:49:17.840 All right.

01:49:17.980 Let's get that done.

01:49:19.400 Another interesting 9-11 one they have.

01:49:21.200 This is from BuzzFeed, by the way.

01:49:22.160 But Paris Hilton, remember her scandal initially that kind of brought her into everyone's attention

01:49:28.320 was her sex tape.

01:49:29.700 And she had sex with somebody and it was on tape.

01:49:33.740 And then the guy, if I remember the way this worked, the guy wound up releasing it.

01:49:38.600 Like he wound up releasing it as an adult film, essentially.

01:49:40.960 And it was right after, you know, 9-11 had happened.

01:49:44.540 So the actual porn movie starts with, in memory of 9-11, we will never forget.

01:49:52.020 And then it goes into a stolen sex tape.

01:49:55.020 Wow.

01:49:56.540 That one's weird.

01:49:57.660 Wow.

01:49:58.140 A little weird.

01:49:58.940 However, I will say, I don't know if anything beats this one.

01:50:03.300 Remember the X-Files?

01:50:05.360 Sure.

01:50:06.320 X-Files goes on for years.

01:50:07.380 It's all about conspiracy theories.

01:50:08.420 Then, the X-Files is ending and they decide to have it try a spin-off thing.

01:50:12.900 The spin-off is called The Lone Gunman.

01:50:15.200 And it's a, you know, I guess it was like in the X-Files, there was like a conspiracy

01:50:19.860 publication called The Lone Gunman.

01:50:22.440 And they try to spin this off and they have a pilot episode that they run for this show.

01:50:30.960 And in the pilot episode, which airs in March of 2000, they talk about a conspiracy to crash

01:50:42.840 a plane into the World Trade Center.

01:50:47.140 This, again, was on television in March of 2000.

01:50:50.700 How do we not, how did I not know this?

01:50:52.420 I don't know.

01:50:53.540 Wow.

01:50:54.180 Yeah, I've never heard of that.

01:50:55.620 I've never heard of it either.

01:50:57.400 And so, then the people who created the show were like, the first thing we thought of was

01:51:01.440 like, we just aired a show where this happened.

01:51:04.280 Or it was, in the show, I believe it was a narrow miss.

01:51:07.440 They didn't actually, you know, complete the journey into the World Trade Center, the terrorism.

01:51:13.180 And in the movie, it was a conspiracy, supposed to be a terrorist attack, but in reality, it

01:51:18.660 was like the government or like, you know, arms dealers trying to, you know, start a war

01:51:23.360 or whatever, which of course was a big part of the actual conspiracy about 9-11.

01:51:27.620 Yeah.

01:51:27.860 But I think we did, we dig this up.

01:51:29.600 This is, we actually dug up some of the footage.

01:51:31.900 It's a little, it's really, really grainy and hard to understand at times, but listen to

01:51:36.520 this.

01:51:36.760 This is, again, from before 9-11.

01:51:38.800 Okay.

01:51:39.020 We know it's a war game scenario, and it has to do with airline counterterrorism.

01:51:45.280 Why is it important enough to kill for?

01:51:47.520 Because it's no longer a game.

01:51:50.600 If some terrorist group wants to act out this scenario, why target you for assassination?

01:51:57.500 Depends on who your terrorists are.

01:52:01.040 The men who conceived of it in the first place.

01:52:05.180 You're saying our government plans to commit a terrorist act against a domestic airline?

01:52:09.020 There you go.

01:52:09.920 Inditing the entire government as usual.

01:52:12.180 It's a faction.

01:52:13.080 A small faction.

01:52:14.280 Well, what possible gain?

01:52:16.160 The Cold War's over, John.

01:52:18.120 Uh-oh.

01:52:18.540 But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market's flat.

01:52:22.120 But bring down a fully loaded 727 into the middle of New York City, and you'll find a

01:52:26.740 dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world just clamoring to take responsibility and begging

01:52:33.220 to be smart-bombed.

01:52:34.740 I can't believe it.

01:52:35.520 This is about increasing arms sales.

01:52:37.240 Mm-hmm.

01:52:39.820 When?

01:52:41.140 Tonight?

01:52:42.880 How are you going to stop them?

01:52:46.580 Why didn't you tell the world this?

01:52:48.380 Go to the press!

01:52:49.400 You think I'd still be drawing breath 30 minutes after I made that call?

01:52:52.740 The press?

01:52:53.740 Who's going to run this story?

01:52:55.560 Byers, you want to clue us in?

01:52:58.240 We got a plane to catch.

01:52:59.320 So they decided to get on the plane and try to stop it from inside the plane.

01:53:03.740 Interesting.

01:53:05.480 Wow.

01:53:06.040 This flight was chosen primarily for its visibility.

01:53:08.540 It's scheduled to pass on Manhattan's way to Boston.

01:53:12.820 Boston.

01:53:13.540 You said they intend to bring us down in the middle of New York City?

01:53:17.200 What if there is no Boston?

01:53:19.620 So they left from Boston?

01:53:20.900 They're going to Boston, I think, in the show, instead of leaving from Boston, but pretty

01:53:24.820 close.

01:53:25.660 Wow.

01:53:26.440 And they're looking at a map in this scene where you can see where the destination point

01:53:32.340 of the flight is, the flight plan.

01:53:35.280 They're mapping the data now.

01:53:36.720 And they're looking at where is the data?

01:53:38.200 Where is it going to go?

01:53:39.420 But they stop it, you said, before they get to their destination.

01:53:47.560 Yeah, they eventually get on the flight.

01:53:48.940 This is when they're figuring out where the flight's going to go.

01:53:53.320 Byers.

01:53:54.220 Your flight's going to make an unscheduled stop in exactly 22 minutes.

01:53:59.200 Unscheduled stop in 22 minutes.

01:54:00.840 Corner of Liberty and Washington.

01:54:02.380 Corner of Liberty and Washington.

01:54:04.600 World Trade Center.

01:54:06.540 I'm going to crash the plane into the World Trade Center.

01:54:08.400 Oh my gosh.

01:54:10.000 They just said it.

01:54:10.800 They're going to crash the plane into the World Trade Center.

01:54:12.680 So anyway, it goes on to show the scene.

01:54:15.320 Did that movie play in a cave in Afghanistan?

01:54:18.300 Right.

01:54:19.020 That's amazing, isn't it?

01:54:20.660 Right?

01:54:20.960 Because I remember when 9-11 happened.

01:54:22.180 That's bizarre.

01:54:23.280 Thinking to myself, okay, it was hard to predict.

01:54:25.940 Like, how could anyone know that they were going to, you know.

01:54:28.200 Right.

01:54:28.680 You would never think of that.

01:54:30.020 And then here it was on TV, like a few months earlier.

01:54:33.280 Wow.

01:54:33.840 Did you say that was from 2000?

01:54:35.480 I think it was March 2000, I think it was.

01:54:37.700 Oh, okay.

01:54:37.900 So like a year and a few months before.

01:54:40.480 Yep.

01:54:41.320 Wow.

01:54:41.820 Isn't that bizarre?

01:54:43.020 Really incredible.

01:54:44.300 I didn't know about that at all.

01:54:47.400 No.

01:54:47.880 Until just now.

01:54:48.520 Apparently the show did not do very well.

01:54:50.600 Never really caught on.

01:54:52.340 But.

01:54:52.920 Wow.

01:54:53.300 Yeah.

01:54:53.480 And you see in the movie, they're going right at the World Trade Center in a plane.

01:54:56.680 And then they pull up in the typical movie way, or this is a series, but like they pull

01:55:00.560 up as hard as they can on the, you know, the plane and they just miss the top of the

01:55:04.220 World Trade Center as they go by.

01:55:06.000 It's really, how the heck did that happen?

01:55:08.400 Wow.

01:55:08.640 A couple quick more before we go.

01:55:11.040 Jim Caviezel, when he was filming the, you know.

01:55:14.440 Played Jesus in.

01:55:15.260 Yes.

01:55:15.560 Passion of the Christ.

01:55:16.380 Was struck by lightning during the filming.

01:55:19.280 Of the passion?

01:55:20.060 Of the passion.

01:55:20.940 Wow.

01:55:21.340 And the assistant director was also struck by lightning.

01:55:24.720 Twice.

01:55:26.160 Neither were injured.

01:55:28.300 How is that possible?

01:55:29.940 How do you get struck by lightning and not be injured?

01:55:32.920 Kind of incredible, right?

01:55:34.140 Yeah.

01:55:34.360 Um, and, uh, let's see, there's one more, uh, oh, but this one's kind of, this one's

01:55:40.540 really dark.

01:55:41.480 Uh, special effects artist, John Richardson.

01:55:44.460 He was, uh, you know, in the omen, he was, we did the, uh, the makeup for the omen.

01:55:49.500 He was the one who did the makeup for the decapitation scene in this movie, which is a very,

01:55:53.560 very, you know, horror movie.

01:55:55.440 He was later killed in a car crash that decapitated his assistant.

01:55:58.740 Oh my gosh.

01:56:00.220 There's a bunch of this stuff.

01:56:01.460 It's a crazy, I'll, I'll tweet it out if you want to, you know.

01:56:04.120 Make your life a little worse today, but it's a, I don't know.

01:56:08.640 I mean, I think some of that stuff is really weird.

01:56:10.560 There's a lot of like creepy, creepy situations that happen.

01:56:15.560 And, uh, I don't know.

01:56:17.060 It's tough.

01:56:18.200 Some of it's just so difficult to believe.

01:56:20.840 I mean, the nine 11 stuff is incredible.

01:56:22.620 Yeah.

01:56:22.800 The fact that they would put that before Paris Hilton sex tape is incredible.

01:56:27.080 And I hope, I hope people didn't forget, you know, you know, you go in, you're like,

01:56:31.160 wow, I'm never going to forget nine 11.

01:56:32.660 And then you watch Paris Hilton have sex on camera for like a half an hour.

01:56:36.680 And then you're like, gosh, I, I no longer forget nine 11.

01:56:40.460 I hope that's not how that turned out.

01:56:42.100 Thank God.

01:56:42.820 They put that, that, uh, that reminder at the beginning of that movie.

01:56:46.780 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

01:56:49.200 More coming up.

01:56:49.680 All right.

01:56:51.340 The most closely watched indicator of a recession, uh, they're blaring now the loudest warning

01:56:58.200 in over 40 years.

01:56:59.300 They're, you know, they're saying that, look, look, the yield curve and all this stuff that

01:57:03.100 I don't really understand, but the yield curve between the two year and the 10 year treasury

01:57:08.000 since 1980 is one of their big indicators.

01:57:10.020 And they're saying it's a grim omen for the economy.

01:57:13.080 The short version of this for people who don't understand yield curves, bad things are in

01:57:17.920 motion.

01:57:18.560 Some of them might not be reversible at this point.

01:57:20.700 You need to hedge against insanity.

01:57:22.280 And we always talk about doing your own homework.

01:57:24.760 I mean, we talk about that all the time when it comes to news or investments or whatever

01:57:27.720 it is, but you need to think about an investment in gold, uh, in gold and silver.

01:57:32.400 It's time to get serious about protecting yourself and your family from financial calamity.

01:57:37.020 If it's coming and you don't know when it's coming, they don't, unfortunately, they don't,

01:57:40.880 they don't always give you the sort of warnings we got from this last segment.

01:57:44.580 When it comes to nine 11, uh, this week, gold line has two specials.

01:57:48.020 The first gold line is offering 6% in free promotional metals with every qualified self-directed

01:57:52.980 IRA acquisition you complete this month.

01:57:55.800 You can put gold in a retirement account, like a traditional IRA or old 401k.

01:58:01.000 If you didn't know about that, it's understandable, but you got to have someone to help you walk

01:58:04.400 through this, uh, this, this whole process.

01:58:06.320 And with the purchase of every gold legal tender bar right now, you will also receive at no

01:58:11.160 additional cost, 25 silver mind your business bars for free.

01:58:15.000 Call 866-GOLD-LINE, 866-GOLD-LINE, or go to goldline.com.

01:58:19.460 It's goldline.com.

01:58:22.220 Join the conversation.

01:58:24.480 888-727-BECK, the Glenn-BECK program.

01:58:28.340 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn-BECK program.

01:58:45.860 Hopefully he'll be back tomorrow.

01:58:47.500 Um, not positive on that.

01:58:49.260 We'll see.

01:58:50.020 But, uh, here are some amazing news that I, I don't know that anybody's really talked much

01:58:54.780 about, are you aware that abortions dropped by 99% in Texas since the ruling?

01:59:04.800 99%.

01:59:06.280 99%.

01:59:07.040 That is incredible.

01:59:09.660 Is that worth losing the midterms over?

01:59:13.620 Uh, you bet.

01:59:14.800 Mm-hmm.

01:59:15.340 If, if that's what caused it, and I don't think it did.

01:59:17.900 I don't, I don't, I don't think there's a lot of evidence that shows that the reason,

01:59:21.700 well, first of all, we should point out, the Republicans didn't lose the midterms.

01:59:25.260 Well, that's right.

01:59:25.840 They actually won.

01:59:26.120 That's true.

01:59:26.440 They just won by less than they expected.

01:59:27.800 That is different than losing.

01:59:28.920 If that lost the Senate.

01:59:30.260 Right.

01:59:30.760 In the midterms, it's still worth it.

01:59:33.140 The Buffalo Bills expected to blow out, uh, their opponent in the playoffs this week.

01:59:37.480 Right?

01:59:37.740 They expected to blow out their, and play Miami, right?

01:59:39.880 Yeah.

01:59:40.080 Because they had a, being a third string quarterback in, they thought they were going to blow him

01:59:42.560 out.

01:59:42.740 They won 34 to 31, I think it was.

01:59:45.040 That's different than losing.

01:59:47.140 Yeah, it is.

01:59:47.720 Winning by a closer margin.

01:59:49.400 They won the house.

01:59:49.920 It's still winning.

01:59:50.460 It wasn't great.

01:59:51.280 I admit, I would have liked it to be better.

01:59:53.680 However, Nancy Pelosi is no longer the speaker of the house.

01:59:57.060 That's a win.

01:59:57.940 Pretty great.

01:59:58.260 A win, to be clear.

01:59:59.700 But again, if you say the results are disappointing, a lot of people are pointing to the abortion

02:00:04.960 ruling being part of that.

02:00:06.100 It probably was in certain areas.

02:00:08.220 Like, there's some evidence to say in certain areas, um, you know, where abortion was, you

02:00:12.840 know, more of a borderline issue that it may have affected and brought over a few voters

02:00:16.600 to make those margins smaller or maybe lose a few races.

02:00:20.600 But if, if that was the price to pay, a 99% reduction in just one state, Texas, let's

02:00:26.820 talk about that.

02:00:27.420 If it was only one state, certainly it would be worth it.

02:00:29.980 We're talking about people's lives here.

02:00:31.740 You saved thousands of children.

02:00:33.180 Listen to this.

02:00:33.800 Compared with the 2,596 abortions recorded in the state in June of last year, the number

02:00:41.760 in August was 68 abortions.

02:00:47.460 So it went from 2,596 to 68.

02:00:52.440 That's incredible.

02:00:54.280 Now the stats from September through, uh, the end of the year haven't been released

02:00:58.820 yet.

02:00:59.040 So we don't, we don't know if that held up.

02:01:00.880 Right.

02:01:01.280 I mean, and the, and there are some exceptions for things like life of the mother, which is

02:01:04.920 why there was 68.

02:01:06.100 Cause there's really no, no opening for abortion at this point in Texas.

02:01:09.600 Other than that, I will say though, you know, you have to look at, it's not that the news

02:01:13.860 is not that good overall because of course, a lot of people leave the state.

02:01:17.380 Yeah.

02:01:17.680 And go to California or wherever.

02:01:19.300 There's the abortion pill thing where people are getting the pills mailed to them.

02:01:22.600 So some of these things are still occurring.

02:01:24.200 One of the initial estimates as the entire picture was that abortions dropped by 10%.

02:01:28.600 Now, even if that was just it and it was just 10% nationwide, it's a huge, huge win.

02:01:36.680 I mean, more significant of a win than anything Republicans would actually do if they won all

02:01:43.060 of these elections.

02:01:43.920 You'd never get, especially since they almost never do anything.

02:01:46.540 Right.

02:01:46.840 They almost never do anything.

02:01:47.840 You get what you, I mean, what's more significant?

02:01:49.700 Your 4% tax cut or, you know, saving 10% of all aborted children.

02:01:56.680 I mean, what's the number, Pat?

02:01:57.560 You know it, it's 60 some odd million since Roe versus Wade.

02:02:00.760 Yeah.

02:02:01.060 Almost 64 million.

02:02:02.940 I mean, it's an incalculable tragedy.

02:02:05.300 Worldwide, it's 1.5 billion.

02:02:08.100 Billion.

02:02:09.440 So chipping away at that is an incredible accomplishment.

02:02:13.560 It is.

02:02:13.980 And if that's all you get done for a while and lose some elections for it, fine.

02:02:19.380 Yeah.

02:02:20.000 Fine.

02:02:20.860 Right.

02:02:21.960 It's that significant.

02:02:23.720 And again, I don't think, and I don't think you do either.

02:02:26.400 I don't believe that that was the cause of losing the Senate.

02:02:29.460 No.

02:02:29.740 Oh, no, no.

02:02:30.200 I don't think so either.

02:02:31.560 There's not a lot of evidence of it.

02:02:32.920 There are some evidence in certain states where, like, what you saw in states where it was not

02:02:37.880 an issue, either a very bright red state or a very bright blue state, didn't seem to do

02:02:41.700 much of anything.

02:02:42.340 And, you know, like New York, Republicans performed very well in New York because no one in New

02:02:47.040 York believed, okay, they're going to get rid of abortion, that we're a blue state, we

02:02:50.240 want it.

02:02:51.200 In some of those purple states where it's a little more difficult to see, like, you know,

02:02:56.420 a Virginia, you saw some differences there, potentially.

02:03:00.220 I mean, but again, it's all theorizing there.

02:03:02.340 The bottom line is it's a big enough issue to lose an election.

02:03:05.140 The bottom line is it's a big enough issue to lose an election.
